I was definitely hoping to avoid that route, but I'm thinking the mobo is fried. Not much I can do here. Thank you
Doesn't always help, but try holding the power button for 40 seconds to try to clear the CMOS settings and test again.
Not sure if the AC adapter should be connected, so you may want to try it both ways.
Edit: Found an FAQ below which mentions a couple other notebook models need to plug in the AC adapter when you try this although it appears to be for when you are getting no power light.

Just don't want that to be the problem if you send it back for repair, so worth a try.

You will need RAM installed to get a display, but if you upgraded or replaced the memory, try the original memory if still available or try just one stick of memory at a time if you have two installed.
Thanks.
