    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.

    Some laptops won't power up without a good battery installed.

    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

    In the S series, the only model numbers with a 32 in them are S32 and S32W:
