I was playing an HD video on my laptop, and it overheated until it shut down. However, it would not turn back on, and on trying to turn it on, I heard the fizzing sound and smell of something electronic burning out.
I disassembled it and found the trouble spot shown in the picture below. The burned components appear to be labeled "PE45" and "PE48", though it's possible they are "PC45" and "PC48". I thought it looked more like "PE" when I looked at it closely, but in the picture it looks more like "PC".
What are these likely to be?
To make things interesting, after I put the laptop all back together, on a whim, I decided to try and turn it on. It turned on fine and I'm using it now to post this.
