On most recent laptop motherboards, almost no electrolitic capacitors are used anymore.
They use a lot tantalium and ceramic capacitors in parallel.
This is very good to create low ESR but sometimes there are about 50 very little capacitors in parallel. Here is a picture http://www.behardware.com/medias/pho...IMG0039304.jpg
Because it is "impossible" to remove all capacitors and measure one by one and then resolder one by one, is there a way to "test" what capacitor is broken, sow I only have to replace one capacitor?
I tried with LeakSeaker 89 but without succes.
Never tried heat camera...
