update..
basically there is no power to the laptop..
these laptops have a round purple light come on when you plug the mains charger in the light appears around the hole...so when I plug the charger in it does light up but other then that there is no sign of life, no cd rom led lights nothing...
Therefore I think its a faulty power cable..
what do you think?
Its like a dead mobo, the led light on mobo will turn on the cpu fan may also spin even though the mobo is dead...similarly I think if a new power lead does not fix it then it most certainly has to be the mainboard...
again please advise thoughts...
