I gave my fiance my old laptop (Inspiron 9100) Its about 2-3 years old now. Basically, she's had it for a few months now, and suddenly it will no longer boot. She used it last night, and then today when she tried to boot it up, nothing happened, battery is charged, the power lights i guess are coming on for a few seconds then shutting off, but thats it.
I had her disconnect all the ancillary stuff and reconnect it, HD, disk drives, Ram chips, etc. to no avail. I am thinking now that the motherboard has gone bad, which apparently is a relatively common problem with this type of laptop. Unfortunately, to buy a new one, its around $500. A couple can be found on ebay for around 150 at the time of the posting, but still, thats quite a bit to spend on a guess.
Any other things to try before I tell her to buy the board?
