My Aspire Notebook was working fine until today when while using it, it shut down without warning...oh I did hear a loud beep when I initially powered up.  I assume it meant the battery was down.  The unit has been plugged in constantly for a long time.  When I checked the power brick it shows 19.5 volts.  Assume it's ok...If I remove the battery, then replace it I see a power light on the console...if it sits it starts to blink.  If I boot, it will get about about 10 seconds into the boot routine (long before windows starts), it will shut down.  I have to pull the battery, reinsert, then try once again...it will not boot at this time, nor show that it has power (using that light on the keyboard as a guide.  Any help would be a great help.
