My laptop (acer aspire 5630) will not power on

by froztbyt . Updated 10 years, 8 months ago

It was getting hard to turn on and I thought that the power button was breaking since it was sitting cockeyed, but I took the middle keyboard cover off and it doesn’t look broken and after putting the cover back on the button sits just fine.
Since the laptop has died I have left it unplugged till the other day when I thought I’d plug it in for SnG, the light that shows the battery is charging was solid then after a bit started to blink and would not go from orange to green, then yesterday I plugged it in again and it blinked a few times and then turn green. It has never done this before and I am wondering what that could mean, also the battery now gets warm which it never used to do before the laptop died. I am wondering if this might be my power problem or if its something more serious like the motherboard being fried.
Also if the motherboard is fried how could I tell?
