Try resetting the power manager.
To do this, shutdown your duo and remove both the
battery and AC adapter. Then hold down the hardware
reset button (on the back of the Duo - there's only
one button so it's hard to miss) for about 5-10
seconds. Insert the battery (make sure you do so
correctly) and restart the computer.

It's under the keyboard. With the Duo upside down
you'll see four T-8 Torx screws. Remove the one in
the middle and the two near the back. Turn it upright,
open the lid and carefully lift up the keyboard,
being careful to not stress the thin flex cables.

The RAM card is on the right side and should be
completely tight to the main board. If it is, try
pushing it to the right then back to wipe the
contacts.

If it still won't boot, try it with the RAM card out.

Still no boot? Disconnect the hard drive and see if
you get the flashing floppy onscreen.
