Lattitude D610 bootup problem

Hi: My laptop shut down on its own while at work. Ever since then it is not booting up. The power LED lights up, holds on for like 10 seconds and then goes down. I have tried to switch it on without the battery using the adapter, but in vain. Please help.

    The power switch on your systemboard is probably going bad. We see it all the time on D600s. Press and hold the  power button consistently. It should eventually work. The only known fix is to replace the systemboard.

    Usually one of two things. First, remove one or both memory modules. Reinstall one, try powering on. If it still doesn't work, move that module to the other slot and try again. If this doesn't help, a new motherboard will probably be needed. Quite often, the memory is seated well and will cause this shutdown.
