So far this summer, we've had quite a few thunderstorms rumble through New Hampshire.   And with them, a lot of unplanned power outages which have played havoc with our computers!   Unfortunately, one of those power outages may have been the root cause of my Ferrari 3400 giving up the ghost.
Today, we finally got around to trying to get a replacement Ferrari.   However, instead, the Acer support specialist had us try a little test....   which brought it back to life!
Simply, the steps were:
    o    
Unplug AC power
    o    
Remove the battery
    o    
Press on ON / OFF switch for more than 20 seconds
    o    
Plug the AC power back in
    o    
Turn on the laptop
Voila!   A Ferrari is revived from a deep, Deep, DEEP hibernation!
