Asus EEE Flare 1025C Netbook won't turn on, potential boot issues

Hi there newby here so i'm hoping this is the right place to post.
I have recently come into some trouble with my Asus EEE Flare 1025C netbook (https/www.asus.com/Notebooks/Eee_PC_1025C/). In short the the netbook won't turn on, but when plugged in to the mains all lights on the laptop flash rapidly and when the power button is held down all the lights turn off until the power button is released, the only exception to this is when the battery is removed and the laptop is plugged into the mains in which the same thing happens but the battery indicator does not light up because there is no battery plugged in. Another thing worth noting is that the the fan inside intermittently spins while plugged into the mains. While all lights are flashing the fan will spin for less than a second not even making a full rotation stop for less than a second and repeat. This has led me to believe that the netbook is trying to boot without me pressing any buttons. I have also reset the BIOS by holding down the power button for 30 seconds don't think it did anything though.

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks in advance
