X31 Dead - but not completely

[fasterbybike]

I have inherited an X31 (2672 GBA). It appears to be dead but is not completely.

I have removed the battery, HDD, RAM, CMOS battery, modem and wifi card. I have tried the trick of pressing the power button 10x 1 sec and 1x 30 second with no power applied to reset the memory.

Now, when I reconnect the AC adapter and press the power button I get a brief illumination of the numlock, capslock, & power LEDs adjacent to the power switch and the battery & suspend LEDs on the bezel. After approx 1 second all LEDs extinguish except for the power LED. The fan spins. There are no error beeps and the LCD does not show anything

The power button will turn the machine off and on again.

Is it a goner and should be parted out for spares or is there anything else I can try ?

Thanks

I have the same problem with my X31. What does it mean its dead? Motherboard? CPU? GPU? Not worth replacing the MoBo?

Did you try starting without the battery?

You mean just with the AC connected? Yes. Same result as mentioned in th OP.
