...is the sort of person I need to hopefully identify an issue I am having:

I have an Acer laptop 5652, and I tried to replace the memory. I switched on the laptop and received a green power light, and nothing except the sound of the fan and the harddrive spinning. No bios or post checks, no image on the screen.

Much to my eventual horror, I realised that I had forced the new memory in and that it was the wrong kind (yes, I know, I know, stupidity, please no comments on that... ) because I bent the central plastic bump that aligns the RAM in the socket.

Realising my mistake and replacing the RAM with the original RAM didn't have any effect.

Now the question is this: Is there any way that I can determine what component has been damaged on the motherboard and to replace that? Is there any place in the UK that would be able to do that for a resonable cost (the entire laptop was bought for £250, so I dont want to spend hundreds of pounds on fixing it)

Any help with this will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Eugene
