Erm! no! We checked the battery, and that was fine, and after checking just about everything I could fix....loose connections, bad joints, batteries etc., and finding nothing, they sent it to the company I referred to. They said that the power control circuitry was damaged. One of the rectifiers was fried, along with another chip on the mobo. This is what the £150 was for.

Not saying it was a good deal, but I would be very wary weilding a soldering iron around a laptops mobo. No telling what damage I could inflict!
