Pressing and holding the power button did nothing. To add insult to injury, after about five minutes the light on the AC adapter indicated the unit had a fully charged battery. Pressing the power button got no response at all. When mine quit I assumed my battery had died, so I grabbed grabbed my AC adapter and hooked it up. They are amazing when the work but it is beyond frustrating when they just quit for no reason. There are several reports on the web about these technological marvels just up and quitting. I search for about 30 minutes for my purchase receipt before I gave up and took matters into my own hands. I own a computer repair company and we usually archive these invoices for customers, but I bought this one on my own and I am terrible with paperwork. The unit is still under the manufacturer warranty, but Asus is a stickler about keeping paperwork like purchase receipts. For example, yesterday I was computing away on my couch with my Asus UX31A Ultrabook until it just quit suddenly and powered off. As technology gets smaller and thinner, there is a serious temptation by manufacturers to make computers more and more difficult to repair.
