A bad motherboard will exhibit the same symptoms you describe and can act as if it has powered and is booting normally. Fans kick on, etc. In some cases a bad motherboard can even exhibit a normal POST "all is well" beep.
A bad video card, often a part of the motherboard in cheaper laptops, can cause the same behavior as well.
Make sure you know exactly what you are purchasing. You can buy paperweights far cheaper than $35.
