" "
I press the start button and the laptop wants to start but then instantly shuts down.
Someone said it was a motherboard fault.
If so, can I purchase a cheep second hand one?
Also can I still retreive the hard drive data somehow?

This could be a battery problem or problem of your charger. Check those first. Changing out the motherboard is a tedious job and one has to be familiar with the unit to do it.

USUALLY the hard drive data can be recovered.

To do that, purchase a USB external drive pod and put your drive in it and download info into another computer.
