My laptop Acer just stopped coming on

does the light turn on?
If you don't even see the power light on your keyboard when you press it then it could be the battery needs to be replaced if you are not attempting to run it while plugged in. If you have plugged it in, it could just be a dead ac outlet (where you plug things in for electricity). Try plugging in the laptop elsewhere in one that you know works. But first try plugging something else in that outlet to make sure that is the problem.
Hopefully the OP got a new laptop for Christmas 8)

You know I'm over 50 and if I didn't need this laptop I would have thrown that baby in the trash.....................Thank you all for your input. I unplugged it and then turned it back on..........It's fine for now................

Reminds me of a joke tech support call:
Customer: I can't get WordPerfect running on my PC.
WPTech: What do you see when you start WordPerfect?
Customer: Nothing. The screen is blank.
WPTech: Are you sure you turned on the computer.
Customer: I think so. Let me feel around for the switch. Yes, it's flipped on.
WPTech: Can you check to see if the computer is plugged in?
Customer: No.
WPTech: Why not?
Customer: It's too dark down by the wall socket.
WPTech: Can't you turn on a light?
Customer: No.
WPTech: Why not?
Customer: We're having a power outage.
WPTech: Oh, I see. Here's what you should do. Pack up the computer and take it back to wherever you bought it and try to get a refund.
Customer: It's that bad?
WPTech: Yes.
Customer: What should I tell them?
WPTech: Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer.
