This computer is 4 weeks old. Never had a problem with it until it wouldn't turn on yesterday afternoon.. When its plugged into the charger, pressing the start button has the yellow and blue lights blinking twice and then they stop. The screen briefly shows an image of the battery and says, "battery critially low". Leaving it unplugged overnight changed nothing.

Tried the power reset for 60 seconds and the pinhole battery reset button on the back for 10 seconds - nothing seems to be working. Any suggestion or clarification of the methods I tried would ne greatly apprieciated.
Nothing happened to it, I didn't drop it, cat didn't chew the cord, etc. so this is just a mystery and I need it for work. Help please, thank you very much.

Thanks for all the suggestions, looks like I'll go to Best Buy this afternoon raise hell. I like to get my money back. $700 for this piece of crap is ridiculous. How did this model get so many good reviews
