    Have you made any changes recently... attempted an upgrade, flashed your BIOS, etc?

    no.I bought it from a friend who said the screen wasn't working.My guess is that this is a mb problem as no power is going to dvd or hdd or fan.Could it be something else?

    I think you're right, it sounds like a MB problem...
