Default Laptop not starting up

Hi,

I have a Toshiba laptop which I have been using for the past 3yrs without any trouble.

It suddenly died today while I was working on something.

I tried to power on the laptop again but nothing is working. The lights are not on to indicate whether the power supply is connected or not.

I tried to power on the machine after unplugging the power supply.. still the same thing.. everything is blank including the lights up front

Is this a mother board problem or a power supply problem?

What are the solutions / easy fixes for this problem?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
SMG

Is the power supply through an AC adaptor or direct to the mains?

Anyway check the fuse on the plug going into the mains
