Compaq Presario 1200T Problem

Let me start by saying any help is really appreciated...

My girlfriend asked me to look at her laptop, which according to her
hasn't worked for a while (12+ months)... She says, "it got really hot
and started smoking out of the back." When I plug it in, the LED on
the power supply flashes, but it won't turn on. Now, I haven't ripped
it open and maybe I should, but I wanted to hear if anyone had any
ideas first. Thanks in advance.
