The battery of my Acer Aspire v5 died while it was copying files over wireless. The batter was very low, but i thought that i could squeeze in the file copy anways. Well, i was wrong. The battery died, and now it refuses to charge. When i try to turn it on, the battery light flashes 5 times and it does NOT turn on.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It should run plugged in even with a dead battery. Check or have someone check your power supply. It is probably defective.

If it won't work with a known good power supply you probably have a motherboard problem, but the way you explained it quit, it sounds like the power supply quit and when the battery ran down it shut off.
