So a friend's laptop seems to be dead.
Normally when the power cord is plugged in, a light comes on showing that the laptop is plugged in, this is no longer the case.

Right now I have the laptop stripped down to the motherboard, using a multimeter I know that there is definitely power coming into the motherboard.
Touching some of the chips near the cpu I am getting over a 10V reading.

So there is no power lights, fan does not spin, i have removed the hdd, ram, tried different cmos batteries, and nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas or is the motherboard most likely dead?
