hi, i just got a netbook, its a acer aspire one dg5 aoa150.
it was all working fine until i shut it down at nite and in the morning it just wudnt power on, the power button comes on for about 3 seconds, 2 leds on the left light up and go off, the fan spins, and no display, and then it powers off completely with a click from inside, i took it aprt and the click sounds like its coming from the cpu i think, no hdd power.
iv tried the fn+esc with a bios stick to reload the bios in recovery mode as suggested all over the net, and all i get is a flash of the usb it wont go into recovery mode. anybody have any ideas whats up?

Mostly likely, the motheboard went on you. Common among acers. Id say just recycle it and buy another. Me personally, never liked netbooks due to their limiations and a pain to repair. I wish you luck though
