When I closed my Aspire V5-122P two days ago I noticed that the fan was still going while it was hibernating. I had to run so I didn't open it up again until several hours later when the fan was still going! My husband, who is an IT guy, was surprised too and tried to turn the computer off...nothing, just the fan still going. He finally reset the computer using the pinhole battery reset on the bottom. That turned the laptop off, but nothing else turned on anymore, not even a beep. We know that the battery was fully charged at that point (the charging light was working). We unplugged the computer, and planed to call Costco to check on the warranty, but didn't have time until today.
Just out of curiosity I tried to plug the computer in one more time, and tried to start it. It booted up totally normal. The battery was still fully charged, and everything reacted normally as far as I can tell. The only thing that is off is the time and date. When I first started it up it still showed the time and date (Tuesday 9:07 am) from 2 days ago when I first closed the computer to put it into hibernation. It seems like the fan was going, but everything else was dead.
My warranty will expire in about a month. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid it will do this again, but then never turn on again.
