another thing to look for (and push on) is a large chip with what appears to have no solder pins. This is a ball grid array chip and loose connections under them is a BIG problem. If you lightly push on it and it works while pushing, there are suggestions on the internet on how to reppair them (baking them in a oven for a given length of time to reflow the solder). I've never done this but a friend of mine repairs HP printers and has done a few that were repaired that way. I know, it sounds CRAZY!
