PCG F610 shut off

My old PCG F610 just winked off last night. One minute it was on then it was dead...not a flicker, nothing. It was on ac power at the time and I bumped it while I was moving it...very small bump but thats when it just went off........
Is there a fuse anywhere in this lap top? I have had it apart before ( fan, hard drive, memory )... so I am able to do my own work on it to a point..... very strange.
Any hints greatly appreciated. Would like to rescue this old machine if possible.

A low cost meter (AC,DC,circuit) wiil confirm that power is provided by the adaptor.

well here is a mystery..... I put it all back together and pushed the power button.....it fired right up. I have no idea what I did but it appears to be all happy again. Very strange but I won't complain.
thankyou everyone for your input..... all seems well at the moment.
something must have been loose?
who knows..... I didn't drink THAT much beer last night

There's no mystery. I've been fixing broken stuff like that for years. It's a 'man gift', Something stops working, unscrew the back, have a poke about (usually with a screwdriver tapping bits and pieces). Put the whole thing back together again and hey presto!:smileygrin:

......with you so far there, had some success myself with this tactic in the past. Where the hell does the screwdriver come into play¿¿ :wink: :wink:
