MY COMPAQ PRESARIO 700 WONT START UP?

I am dealing with the same problem. I was given a Presario 700us Notebook and it would not power on. Only lights. the owner replaced the battery and still nothing. I saw a post elsewhere that said something about parts working loose inside. It suggested dropping the computer about an 1inch to see if it helped. I could not bring myself to drop the system so I just gave it a light wack on the bottom and "bamm" the thing now works. Right now I am working on taking it apart to see what had come lose.

it is the mother board because the program still works and that happened to me before and also because the power jack passes energy to the mother board before than the hard drive or anything else!!
