I don't fix motherboards on component level and most likely most local laptop repair shops will not do that. @ lino,

is there a possibility that a motherboard can be repaired? or i shall replace a new one?

I don’t know. I don’t fix motherboards on component level and most likely most local laptop repair shops will not do that.

Battery, hard drive, memory. Disconnect the keyboard if you can. Now plug in the AC adapter again. If the problem still there and power button lights up by itself, probably this is motherboard failure. @ lino,

Sounds more like motherboard issue to me. Just in case try reseating both memory modules. Maybe on of the modules not making good contact with the slot and it causing the problem. Also, you can taking it apart to bare bone system and testing step by step as I explained in the post. @ sid,

If we assume your new motherboard and DC jack are good, most likely it's either bad CPU or memory. It's hard to tell without looking at the laptop. @ bicyclemonkey,
