This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Any sort of sound or vibration coming out of it?
If you can hear it click as it fails to spin up, it's not the logic board. If on the other hand it does a brick impression when you turn on the computer, try the logic board swap first.

EDIT: Also, if/when you're swapping the logic board, be careful with the ribbon connector (if it has one). Make sure you very gently push the tab on the connector fully out, and the cable should slide off very easily.
