What was the last thing you did to the laptop?

Was it working before?
Did you take it somewhere?
Did you install something?

If you switch it on. Try and listen and look at the fan, is it spinning / running?

thank you for reply.

i remember the last thing i did was i try to play the warcraft 3 game, it hang. so i restart and my laptop won't boot anymore. i try remove the RAM and restart...same. no luck.

this is the first time my laptop come up with this problem. it work just fine before that.

i did install Ubuntu before my computer won't boot. but i think it got nothing to do with the problem because it was fine after i dual boot my laptop. i dual boot my laptop a week before my laptop won't boot anymore. just the dual booting only, nothing new install.

i hear the fan spinning and the combo drive's LCD was light, but the screen just won't boot.

i think its the motherboard problem. cause back then i smell something fried.

accually i already put my laptop on the PC service centre. they say there are big possibility that it is the motherboard fault.

the price for repairing is about RM1000++.
i think that enough for a new desktop already.

is it any alternative beside replace mobo with RM1000++?

"i think its the motherboard problem. cause back then i smell something fried."

Yep, if you smelled it... it's done... turn it over and add salt and pepper to taste. ;)

"accually i already put my laptop on the PC service centre. they say there are big possibility that it is the motherboard fault."

Guess that solves the problem then, huh? :) :o

The the power supply, is it plugged in.
Is your battery fully charged.
Most likely you had either your built in tranformer in the laptop blowout or the power brick/wall wort tranformer died....RMA the power supply.

first, thank you for reply. i really appreciate it. i check the DVD/CDRW drive LED, it light and the fan working just fine. so i'm though it was not the bettery or power supply problem. sorry, can i know what what is RMA, and power brick/wall wort transformer? i'm not good at these laptop things.

if replace a motherboard in the laptop means replace everything including video card, sound card and..... because all are integrated inside the mobo. the cost to replace is about half the price i brough it. it not worth it. so any suggestion on DIY the laptop? any suggestion will help. thanks.

this is the latest trouble shot result. i've reset the bios setting by reinsert my mobo's battery. no good sign shown. fan is spinning at the moment i start my laptop, it stop after spinning about 1-2 second. then it start to spin again whenever it temperature get high. the power supply LED, combo drive LED, and the on button LED are light. it look like everythings fine, just the screen wont boot up. i found out there was no sign of fried component on the mobo and my laptop's temperature rise faster than it does.

anyone know what to do next?

Hi I had the same problem. One day my pc didn't sart anymore. So I started my pc without the RAM just to hear if it sound any bip. I have put again the RAM and the problem has been solved.
