Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and have stumbled across it while in search to a possible solution to a problem I have with a Toshiba C650.
One evening it was working... I shut it down and went to bed, next morning a new dvd drive arrived so I removed the screw, removed the drive and replaced it. I thought I have it fully pushed it but hadn't and while attempting to do the screw up the screw has fallen and my screwdriver has gone through the hole and hit the motherboard.
There is some damage to a ceramic capacitor (seen of pic 3) c6210
Since then - nothing. no lights on the laptop at all, either with ac in or out.(same with battery)
I have opened the laptop up and over the past few days been running a multimeter across the board trying to see where about the power stops.
I can follow the 19v's to a point but then nothing. Thing is I'm not sure exactly what should be giving me 19v and what shouldn't. I do know that both fuses are OK and the battery terminals are not giving out any voltage.
I'm new to fiddling with motherboards and have accepted that this laptop is OK to be bin'd but I feel it's such a waste of a laptop if the faulty component can be identified and replaced. May6be not by me but If I can identify the problem then it was save somebody who can do the solder work the troubleshooting.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help & advice
