Dead computer - extra
Yep definitely the power supply a new one plugged in started all the fans, but no video signal and no post beeps. Ah joy. It's been picked up for advanced diagnostics - very handy having a computer support company just up the road.
If it's the MB or the video card it may well end up cheaper to just have a shell computer created and switch the HD's over, the computer's now old enough to make that a possible option.
[Update - the Northbridge fan had stopped, so apparently it was just that and the PSU]

My laptop died recently, luckily the hard drive survived and I managed to transfer the files onto good old "Big Bess" my desktop PC. Still can't decide whether it's worth repairing it or not.
Worst laptop buy ever, incidentally. Sony prices do not guarantee quality these days it seems!
Well other than the loose cover over the power input mine's been fine so far (touch laminate). I know DaBoss's son's Acer seems to have failed for the second time and his is younger than mine.
