I'm looking at a HP pavillion a350n of my girlfriends. Apparently she took it to a local computer shop that is no longer there and paid $150 to get it fixed. When I plug it in it lights up,fan starts up, whirring sound starts then it shuts off. No beeps. What next? Do I follow the steps, take mobo, psu , video card and 1 memory stick and try a startup outside the case? there's no spare money in her household. She's mother of 15yr old quints and is a teacher. There's no computer at her house now and with school these days its kind of a must to have one. Thanks
