My old IBM laptop went that way, ended up trashing it, light coming on and then nothing, dead laptop. Thing is when stuff like that happens its probably a motherboard failure, and the way latops are built, the motherboard IS the laptop, they are so specific and interwoven with stuff that it probably would be cheaper to buy a new laptop. take the hard drive out because the data can still be recovered.
