The Generic Reset noted at http://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/laptop-isnt-getting-turned-on/
There are many things to try before you replace boards.
I left my computer on last night and when I look at it the next day it wouldn't turn on. I don't hear any fans and the power button turns on briefly then goes off. Please can someone help me I need this computer.
