I could not find any details on a Benq sw32, however, the first thing to check would be the power supply or battery. YOu could try it on the AC adapter only.
BenQ makes laptops? I thought they only made monitors and projectors.
That's all I could fine on the Benq Australia site too :confused:
It is about 4 years old. s32 not sw32.
Even without the battery it does not power up.
MB maybe?
Joybook S32 (BV13)

Some laptops won't power up without a good battery installed.
Battery is ok.
There is only info on the Joybook in that article.
Looks like there is a S32 and S32W

If you have a multimeter, check the DC voltage coming out of the power adapter plug. And if possible, measure the DC voltage at the battery terminals (some are hard to get meter probes in, so you may not be able to).
It is a sw32. Power supply is ok.
I must start thinking MB or worse.
Yes, if there is definitely power from the adapter, and the battery contains some charge, then motherboard failure is the most likely cause :(
