My friend gave me his laptop to fix. He just told me it wouldn't start. Even when it is plugged straight into the wall, nothing happens when I hit the power button(no LEDs, no fans, nothing.) now I had the battery checked out and it is dead. But I'm wondering if replacing the battery would fix the problem or if its a possible motherboard problem. The laptop is relatively new also.

It's a Sony Vaio VPCS131FM laptop.
