Have you inspected the motherboard to see if any of the capacitors are 
swollen. 95% of the time when I have a hardware failure, it is a 
capacitor. I use http://badcaps.net/ to get replacement capacitors when 
I can easily identify a bad cap (they carry quality capacitors and I 
have never had a cap from them go bad). I think they have repair 
services as well.
