Laptop Doesn't Boot

[RegEdit]

I'm sorry, I did mean just parts and the fee for driving out to her home.

If you can't fix it then you shouldn't charge her.

Take out the RAM, clean, put back in. Check the CMOS battery. Try to boot into BIOS. Repair power jack. If no luck then replace MB.

See, if I had mis diagnosed the issue then yes, I wouldn't have charged her, but she didn't give me all the info I asked for in the beginning. If she had told me it wasn't working before hand then I would have just passed on the job completely because repairing a power jack is useless if the board is bad.
