Hello all, I have a "Time" Plantina 8355H which is the renamed Mitac. This
laptop will not boot or even get to post, the problem started when the
memory got corrupted and at the time it would go to post but not boot to
windows. I have put new memory in, now the laptop is almost dead. there's
power to all fan's / harddrive spins / DVD ejects in-out hardrive light
comes on for a brief second then goes out but there's no live / power in the
screen. before I start replacing hardware like the processor, has anyone got
any thoughts on a possible cure for this please.

If it were me, I would sell off the good parts and get another working
new/used laptop. Like desktops, it doesn't take a lot of money to equal
a brand new one when making repairs or doing major upgrades.
