Okay, I need some help and advice here. A couple of days ago, my laptop
fell off the table and when I tried to turn it on, it wouldnt work at
all. When I plug in the AC charger, the light shows up so its definitely
not the battery. I think the issue is with the motherboard.

I've taken apart my laptop but couldn't find anything unusual.. Oh its
a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro.

PS: If you require more information, just let me know. Thanks

The help is truly appreciated :)

a guess would be the hard drive or the video. It could even have cracked the
board.

Zircin..

Welcome to the expense of laptop computers!

Obviously, not something that you want bouncing off the floor. While I
understand it was an accident, it's not something it does on its own,
it had a little help to make it from the table to the floor. The
*real* next step is to call Fujitsu (they're good people) and describe
the symptoms. They'll issue an RMA, carefully box it up and ship it in
for diagnosis/repair. Since they've likely got all the components at
their fingertips, it's easy for them to turn it around. Otherwise, it
appears that it's a guessing game for you. Put another way, how
important is it really to have your laptop working? If it is, you now
know what you've got to do...

Cheers,
Mr. Mentor

That would probably be too expensive. -If there is anything else you
would suggest, please let me know. Thanks for the advice though :)
