Subject: bios?????

I had this happen a couple of times I would shut down
my laptop start turn off computer you know ..so one
time it shut down but when I tried to turn it back on
I push the power button and hold the power lights came
on as long as I hold the button when I let go nothing
no boot. so I did some reading read that there might
be a problem with the bios said if I take out the the
battery unplug the power cord hold fn,b,q while
holding plug in the power cord hold the buttons for a
few seconds let go and then push and hold the power
button the power lights should go off and the bios
will complete the shut down. I did it and it worked
was told to upgrade bios and did was working fine for
months then it happened again after I did a reformat
went through the steps again and it worked again a few
days later it happened again now wont it doesnt do any
good took it to get repaired they said it was a bios
chip problem so they said they said they changed the
chip but didnt work funny thing they didnt charge me
the just took a 300.00 loss told me what always say
when they dont know how to repair I need a new
motherboard any ideas ?
