Inspiron 8600 fails to reach POST

Question

Recently my laptop has died. Here's the report from the scene: Incident: After having been away from my laptop for some time, I came back and took it out of the screensaver and then plugged in a USB flash drive into one of the back USB ports. The computer turned off. Have not been able to turn it off since. Symptoms: -Laptop's power LED will illuminate for say, 7 seconds, when powered on. But that's it. No monitor, no POST. -AC Adapter has a solid green LED, assuming it's in working order. -Battery lights up all the way when I check how much charge it has by pressing the button on it -Took out the memory, thinking it might be the problem. Swapped it out, even, with a different stick. Still to no avail. I'm guessing the mobo is dead. Could someone suggest other thinks to tinker with in this autopsy? Thanks!
