If you get through all the above and still nothing, get a volt meter and check the cord and brick first. See if you are actually providing power to the unit.

This is a good point. I've had MANY cords fail over the years. Take it to best buy and they will be able to plug it in with another cord. They may not have your exact cord for sale but they (or Radio Shack) will have a cord with a bunch of interchangeable tips and one should fit.
Even if it was a motherboard, you would still likely see lights of some sort. i bet it's the cord.
Could be the connection (has come loose) inside the laptop where the power cord plugs into the computer.
Acers seem to have his issue more than others (manufacturer's issue, weak solder), I've had to have my granddaughters fixed twice.
Costs about 130.00...if you are still under warranty, I'd take it back.

Gonna try to find another cord first I think.
If you don't figure it out, Mike's Computer at HW92 and West Wiley Bridge across from Lifetime Fitness) is actually an honest computer guy. He fixed my a month ago when I thought it was toast.
(404) 829-3210 I think is his number. Probably check it for free but that's just a guess.

I have used Best Buy and they will check it for free
Motherboard is fried...bought her a new laptop, it's an ASUS, wish me luck. Anyone have any idea what to do with this laptop now?
Get a 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure, pull the hard drive and insert. You will be able to retrieve your files. Sell the remains on ebay or craigslist, there is a market for the screen.
