Hey icemen, I have an old Sony Vaio (p4/xp) that will not turn on...

When I hit the power button 1 or more fans kick on, the power LED turns blue for 15 seconds, all the while the fan starts powering down, and nothing else turns on.  LCD stays blank the entire time.

I figure it's the mobo, any other ideas?

1. does it beep?
2. are you sure its the power button and not the sleep/hibernate button?

Thanks for the response No beeps, and yeah, it's the power button.  By the way the battery is fine, and I keep it plugged in anyway,

have you tried removing the power cable AND the battery and leave it like that for about 30 sends, then try to power it back up?

I've had me and my sisters lcd screens mess up on the laptops, not completely black, but its similar. It could be the monitor cable inside the laptop itself, because some laptops are known for loose connections of the cable and it will mess up the screen. Does the power button LED stay on the whole time, or do all the lights go off?
