Had the computer on, all I had going was iTunes. Went out in the garage for a moment, came back in maybe 2-3 minutes later, computer was off. Didn't remember turning it off, I push the power button to turn it back on, and nothing happens. I look inside the case, and the little LED on the bottom corner is flashing, when it used to just be a constant on. Can't get through to tech support and manual describes no such instance.

Unfortunately you have to use the plug and pray method to attempt to fix this. You could try to remove the cmos battery on your motherboard for awhile and plug it back in and see if it boots or not.

I have my fingers crossed...
