Re: Laptop Motherboard Repair
Desktop. It seems to be more common on a desktop for the fans to spin on a dead board. I'm trying to find out why. As for the laptop, I'll try to isolate that short when I get some time. It started out as the battery not charging on an HP DV9k- and the DC adapter would stop working after a few minutes - but it would be intermittent. The problem only happened when a battery was inserted, so I replaced the Maxim chip responsible for charging the battery. After that, it looks as if I have a plain short. I tried putting the old maxim chip back in - same problem. Maybe some mosfets that drive the charging chip?
