Laptop was plugged in. Always plug it in. Update was proceeding very slowly. Then noticed black screen at some point, after briefly seeing windows logo. Now can’t turn laptop back on.
Buy a new powerbrick, it is probably the battery not charging.
If i let my acer run without powerbrick and its battery is empty, i get 5 flashing lights.

Your battery may be dead to a point that it cant boot your system. Try to charge it for a day or so then try with the adapter, and battery

try pressing on fn+f5 or fn+f6 a couple of times each. Maybe the screen got switched to projector status by mistake.
SOURCE: My Acer Aspire 5570Z laptop's power button issue
Underneath the power button that you see is a small board with a tiny tactile button. These tactile buttons because they get used alot tend to go bad. They will get worn out and then eventually won't work.
Best thing to do is to go to this page courtesy of Acer:
https://secure2.tx.acer.com/FixMyAcer3/FixMyAcer.aspx
There is a phone number there and they should be able to tell you if your laptop is under warranty. If its not, ask them the name of the board underneath the power button and its part number and you can search for it yourself on the internet to get the best price

Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. You will need to reset the Laptop
if it is not starting up. Follow the procedure as under to reset it---
Remove all connections to and
from the laptop. Now remove the battery and press and hold the power on button
for 2 minutes. Release the power on button. Slip in the battery pack. Plug in
the power to the laptop and to the wall. Please do not plug in any other
devices and now try the Laptop powering it on to resolve the issue.
Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.
Thanks

Well, Everything said on this site is true. I recently had a breakdown on the same type of TV and through this site and the comments left, I was able to repair my tv for less than $50. (Extra cost for upgrading my soldering iron that wasn't getting hot enough) It was amazing. The feeling when the tv powered up and stayed on. Credit goes to Howard and Chris Palmer for their comments. It is possible. You just have to commit and do it. Its not as hard as you might think. Thanks guys.

Updating the BIOS will require a USB flash drive to store
the BIOS information on during the update. To perform the update to the BIOS:
1.
Go here http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx and download the
latest (check the latest date) BIOS for the netbook.
2.
Extract the files from the downloaded zipped BIOS file.
3.
In the Dos_Flash folder, rename the BIOS file from 3310.fd
to ZG5IA32.FD, in all capital letters.
4.
Copy ZG5IA32.FD and Flashit.exe to the USB flash drive
5.
Ensure that the AC adapter is plugged in.
6.
Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port.
7.
Press and Hold down the Fn and the Esc keys together and press
the power button.
8.
When the unit's power light comes on wait a few seconds and
release the Fn and Esc keys.
9.
After the keys have been released the power light will start to

10.
During the BIOS update process the display will be blank.
11.
Let the unit run and after approximately 1 to 7 minutes, the
