If this is a floppy disk then run a disk cleaner and then try to read disk. If it is a CD or DVD om Drive then buy a good CD/DVD cleaner disc and run it on your computer.

More than likely your power supply got fried from a power surge during that storm anyway. You'd be surprised at how worthless most surge suppressors are these days.
Check to make sure that power is reaching the power supply of your unit. If it is and still does not work, then the issue is with the supply that needs replacement. Common malady.
If you really want to reset your computer to the state it was in when you purchased it then you will need to get a hold of some recovery disks. I found a site that sells a number of recovery disks for various systems and got the link to the specific one for your model of computer http://recovery-disks.com/acer/acer-aspire-m1201.html. They will send you specific instructions on how to use their recover disks.
Have you tried connecting an external monitor and see if that one would work? Also, are you hearing any startup sound when you turn on the computer? If there is, and there is a good display on an external monitor, then it is the LCD that is causing the problem.
based on the images i've looked on for the Aspire m1201, you don't need to remove the front panel in order to remove the optical drive. if there are screws holding the drive in, remove them and then slide the drive forward. if its held in by sliding latches and not screws, then slide then in which ever direction necessary and then push the drive forward to take it out.
