Bascially got a toshiba Satellite M40-297 give to me.

long story short, :-

-they bought wrong replacement power adapter
-i bought new one to right voltage etc
-still problems with power not charging etc...
-put a new power jack in the laptop, still nothing also notice a sticky substance over parts of the board which was cleaned with alcohol/spirits
-Put a new battery in today and still nothing.

What could it be ? Motherboard gone ?

Please help lads. :(

Cheers
 
What about you connecting the AC adaptor to the notebook and turning it on without the battery installed?
 
Aww man. Something must be definitely wrong in the notebook. Not surprised if it could be the motherboard.

You also mentioned: "still nothing also notice a sticky substance over parts of the board which was cleaned with alcohol/spirits" you took apart the notebook?
 
Yea i took the laptop apart when i installed the new AC jack in the laptop, thinking it might have something to do with it, but no.

Yes as if my client had spilled coke or something over it, one of the side USB solder points on the board acc looked like it had corrosion, until i cleaned it.
