I have a brand new Acer Aspire 3680 notebook bought from Alaska. I'm in the Philippines and I was told that I have to plug it in a 110 voltage transformer. I used an extension and plugged it in the 110 V in my pc's avr. Now, formerly, I drained the battery (being that it's my first time of use). So here's the problem...the notebook won't open/charge, I really don't know. What happends is when we press the power button on, the batter light just flashes. We tried it for 3 minutes then we took the plug off. Help anybody...is my laptop broken? What do I do?

That's unusual. Almost all laptop AC adapters are auto-ranging or auto-volt. It should work from 100VAC to 240VAC. So there should be no need for a step down transformer. Read the label on the AC adapter thoroughly.
I suspect there is no power from that 110V outlet of the AVR or the socket is loose and not contacting the plug properly. If the laptop's AC adapter indicates wide voltage range (say, up to 240VAC), then just plug it to any AC wall outlet where you would have a snug fit.
Hope this helps. (Noypi here)
