    Hi, one of the fews times I've completely screwed up and not got myself out of it and need some suggestions.

    Laptop ran out of warranty about 2 months ago.
    Was running it on AC only and nudges the power cable out.
    When i tried to reboot found it is dead.
    LEDS and fan start up as normal but after about 5 seconds
    Power LED flashes rapidly and nothing else happens.

    Screen never lights up and I think there are 2 faint bios beeps once but thats it.

    Tried reseating ram, running on battery, holding power button for 1 minute with no power source.

    I'm pretty sure I'm screwed but wanted to check with you guys first and suggestions would be greatly recieved.

    It could be mobo/firmware failure. If that's the case, you need a new laptop.
