HP laptop not powered on

When I pressed the power button, power led only came on for a second and then nothing happened. No screen or fans spanning.

Power adaptor is ok, tested it with multimeter. What could it be? Motherboard? It is 5 years old laptop.

Thanks, just already done it as instructed by HP support. Looks like a motherboard issue.

The laptop costs £1500 5 years ago - Pentium 4 3Ghz, would it be better to replace it with newer laptop rather than motherboard?

Ok, just got quoted of £267 which includes everything - parts, labour and delivery. Worthwhile?
