I have an acer laptop, my son closed the lid on me before it shut down, he put it in sleep mode then closed the lid. Now it won't start up
 
Hi :)

REMOVE charger

REMOVE battery

PRESS power button down and HOLD it pressed for 60 seconds....

Then reassemble and try again...

If no start , then laptop repair shop for diagnosis...

All the best Brett :)
