It could be either a fried motherboard or something due to humidity: time ago i had stored a blade 150 in a very humid place and had similar problems.
Solution was passing absorbent paper on all motherboard+cards+ram places, spraying with deoxidant spray and then, after a while, drying up gently with a hair dryer. Then the 150 came back up :))) Good luck! Il 25/gen/2014 00:04 "Kent R.
