I have a sony vaio laptop VPCEF3E1E with a faulty motherboard - the laptop won't come on properly. The screen is blank and when the power button is pressed the three panel lights flicker briefly and that's all, there's no fan action. I'm given to understand this is a common fault with these laptops and it comes down to a component on the motherboard. Problem is I can't find out which component it is. I'm handy with a soldering iron so if anyone is familiar with this and knows the rogue component I'd be grateful to know. The writing on the motherboard says: HannStar J MV-6 94V-0 D A ONE 8MB C60 REV: C Laptop service tag is: C104NQ4S
