[SOLVED] MSI mini L1350

[Milo2010]

MSI mini laptop. Was left powered on and not used, lid closed, for 6 or 8 months. Now fan runs on startup but will not boot up. Showing sleep and battery indicator lights only. Would be very helpful for any help.

Unplug the power cord, remove the battery and press the power button for 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord and power on.

Leave it unplug for a couple of days but it looks like the motherboard might be dead.

Thanks. But I've tried having it unplugged for a week with the battery out. No go. Is there any way to tell for sure if the mobo is dead

There is any light that indicate the system has power.
Remove the RAM (if possible) and try the steps above.
If you have gone thru all these steps, assuming the power button is working, then your motherboard is the issue.
You could take it to a technician.

There is a sleep indicator light on and the fan is running.

Thanks

Sorry. there is no removal ram chip, it must be integrated I guess

Windows saves info to the RAM when going to sleep and it could get stuck.
Removing all power sources and draining capacitors should have allow the device to boot.

How can I do this?

OK, I got it.
