hi all,
So I spent years being a laptop technician diagnosing and fixing hundreds of thousands of laptops with issues replacing parts. Having questioned actually what if I could go the whole way and replace the components rather than the full part of set myself a task of fixing a laptop that doesn’t power up.
My knowledge is a little limited however using a multimeter and testing voltage from the D.C. socket to the power switch which connects via a separate board to the opposite side of the pcb with the D.C. socket. Tested the switch with a circuit test as well as D.C. to the sides of capacitors all of which show the correct voltage. Is there something else circuitry basics I’m missing which would stop it operating? I’ve tested the above whilst pressing the power switch also and the results don’t change.
Tips and tricks would be appreciated or excellent articles on this to help. To make it easier to visualise I’ve attached a picture
Thanks
Mike
