The Acer Aspire L100 is a
desktop
computer powered by a special DC adapter and power cable. The
computer's motherboard incorporates a fuse designed to prevent any
power surges from damaging the computer. If the fuse burns out due to a
power surge or for any other reason, the computer will no longer
function. You can check the motherboard fuse for damage yourself, then
take it to a trained technician for replacement if needed
Shut down the Acer Aspire L100 and turn the tower around.
Press the "On/Off" button on the front of the tower. If the
computer will not boot and the fan does not turn on, the fuse may be burned out.
Unplug the power cord from the rear of the tower
Turn the tower on its side and remove the Phillips-head screws connecting the back panel to the Aspire L100's cabinet.
Pull out the motherboard assembly gently from the back of the cabinet.
The internal fuse is located on the motherboard behind the DC power
jack, which is to the right of the monitor jack
Let me know if this helped..

After I read this "solution" I was ready to "kick myself" for failing to consider such a handy source, but when I searched the Radio Shack website I found that they don't offer anything remotely similar to this; so I'm left to wonder what other "radio shack" there might be...
I am fairly sure that my careful description of this unusual cable was not read. Radio Shack does not carry anything like this. I was hoping to be directed to an appropriate place that specializes in "FFC's" as they are called.
I have found my own solution to this. I finally found the appropriate cable via eBay. A firm in Thailand offered exactly the cable I needed. It has now arrived and it works just fine. Since these cables are so thin, I would guess that lots of these get damaged. My advice is to search for "FFC AWM" and keep looking!
