Acer Aspire V5-571 will not power on

I am having a similar problem.  I push the power button, the blue light comes on, as well as the blue light on the front of the computer, the fans comes on for a few seconds and that is it.  No acer start up screen, or anything, just a black screen.  Then after about 2 minutes the the blue lights go off.  I have tried to remove the battery and hold the power button, but that had no effect.  I have not been able to figure this out.

Wow, great just noticed this is from November......awesome guess my brand new computer is just shot....crying now....

I have had this problem twice now. My system is working just fine. I power it down and take it to work or home. I get to my destination and plug in my system and i get NO lights of any kind. It will not power up at all. I get NOTHING. My laptop is all of a month old. I pull out my screwdriver and take off the bottom cover. I check connections etc. Everthing is tight and clean. BUT note that I have touched several metal components. Did I just ground out any stray charges? I don't know. But Now after doing nothing more then looking and touching I put the case back together. Turn if over and plug everythign back in again and NOW it powers up. 

 

The second time same thing only this time it gets to the Acer screen and nothing. I power off/on and try again. Acer screen. After 2 cycles of this I swap out the power block (19V @ 3.42A acer just like the original). After 2 more cycles I swap back to the original. I try #5 and i'm getting ready to power off again when I get the floting balls wait sign and I wait.... now up until now boot up on windows 8 has always been less then a minute. This time its taken like 6 minutes to boot up. NOTE It updated to 8.1 last thursday (I HATE auto updating! it is now turned off!).

 

So any ideas here? is this a static buildup issue? Is this a design issue? Power board or plug issue? What is the problem here Acer. I LOVE my 1st acer aspire 5210z until the screen died. So I buy the awesome new one and  

 

ACER HELP!!!!

Well, to everyone that has had this happen I will say what worked.
I called the Acer customer service, who said I needed to discharge my battery. The charge was off, so I did a reset. They kept telling me it was not a software issue, it was a hardware issue. But every time my computer went to the dark screen/screensaver, it would be a black screen. When I turn it off and back on....black screen. Every time I want to use it, I have to reset battery. Keep calling the tech support, they keep telling me not a software problem. Hardware problem....well I started thinking how I just installed comodo, and Google comodo and windows 8.1 black screen....you will see for yourself. Do. Not. Install commodo! Once I uninstalled comodo and every single piece of crumb that came with it, my computer was back to normal, did not have this issue again. Learned a valuable lesson! There is a reason s free!

hey did u do the pinhole reset? i used a thumbtack, and pushed it into the little hole on the underside of the computer, you have to try it a few times until you can feel it push down and "click".  it resets the battery - i cant remember if i did this with the computer turned on, or off- just kept fiddling with the button different ways, and eventually i got it to boot up- 

My acer apsire v5 laptop wouldnt turn on. A message came up saying it needs to update to 8.1 i clicked close, it came up a few times and i kept clickig close and all of a sudden it  turns off and starts updating it After updating it didnt turn on! it just went to a blank screen. I restarted it,after the acer logo it just went to a blank screen again. This has happened 2 other times before as well and am getting sick of it. its only been 4 months since i got this laptop. I always start to panick and eventually after a day i got it working.  WHY DOES IT DO THIS?
