Almost never go to a repair guy but not sure what to do

[teehee]

Hi all,

Recently I woke to find my Samsung NP350v5c-S02AU laptop just wont start. If you try to turn it on a little blue light at the front turns on solidly for a few seconds then disappears. No indication the laptop has turned on at all (no whirring of the fan, screen is pitch black, the power button which normally lights up upon pressing stays dark).

Plugging in the charger only gives you the little light at the front indicating the charger is plugged in and the battery is charging (or after a while that the battery is charged). Doesn't turn on with or without the battery, just that same blue light.

Suspicion that the motherboard is dead? Any ideas?

Have you tried a new charger? They do fail and will exhibit the symptoms you are seeing.

I don't think its the chargers fault. The light on the laptop that indicates the charger is plugged in is lit up when I plug it in (its orange when charging the battery and green when the battery is charged - I saw it turn from orange to green over a period of a few hours)

I've also tried discharging the laptop by pressing the on button
