I had the same thing occur with my Acer 5520 Notebook. The green charge light was on but when I pushed the power switch nothing happened. I did some research on the internet and this is what I did that solved the problem:
I removed the battery and unplugged the power supply. I then held down the power button for 45 seconds. I then reinstalled the battery and the power supply and pushed the power button and voila it worked. I did have to try it a couple of times before it woorked but all is well now.

you were right. The standard 20 seconds listed on the ACER website didn't do it. Thanks for taking the time to post.

My Asus X51R has been refusing to boot for about 3 months now due to "CMOS Battery Low", "CMOS Corrupt" and "CMOS Date/Time Not Set", and I have been unable to do anything due to both the F1 (continue) and F2 (Setup) asked for a BIOS password that I never set.
None of the default BIOS passwords I tried worked, and I had quite honestly given up hope.
But after following your instructions (holding the power button without any power source connected for 45 seconds), it now boots up perfectly.
The F1/F2 alternatives still appeared the first time I booted it, but without password requirements.
You're a lifesaver :)
