    Try turning it on with the battery removed. Mains power only. Firstly, take the battery out and remove the mains lead. Then press the power button for fifteen seconds. Then plug the mains lead in again, but not the battery, and try again.

    this didnt work i`m afraid

    I think so?

    i was going to take it to the pc world/currys repair?
    How good are they?

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If it doesn't need a new mobo now, it will after they've looked at it!
    Take it back to the original 'repairer' and tell him to sort it out, he cannot charge you if he has misdiagnosed the problem and fitted a new hard drive for no reason.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    If it's an electrical problem, drop Hammyman a PM. He might be able to help.

    No response at all? No lights?
