    Hello. First time on the board and have a real issue. Yesterday my FW465J shut down without prompting and now when the power button is pressed the green ring and orange battery led light up for two seconds then go out. Computer will not post to BIOS and is completely inop. Pulled all components off the motherboard and attempted to reboot hoping it was something else (USB board, panel inverter, etc.) but no go. Anyone have an idea on this? Hopefully not motherboard as the 4650 1GB is a no show on eBay...

    Specs:
    Vaio VGN-FW465J/B
    T9600 upgrade
    ATI 4650 1GB
    8GB Patriot 4x2
    BD Combo
    Samsung 470 256GB SSD

    Thanks in advance.

    Steve
