Hello. My personal laptop just died on me, and to my luck, it does not seem like it can be fixed, but wanted an opinion. It is a Star Wars edition hp 15 laptop, with a dax1bdmb6f0 motherboard (without dedicated graphics). I was watching a video, moved the laptop, it shut off and thinking it was just a semi unplugged charging cable I pressed it back in, pressed the power button, saw it light up and left to another room. When I got back it was off again, but this time it did not turn back on.
The 3.3v line has a really low resistance, and if I plug in the charger, I do get 3.3v on the output coil, but things start getting warm real fast.
The hotest part of the board when connected is the APU. But that is what I don't get, does the 3.3v line go into the CPU or GPU? The APU does get really hot, and other parts of the board get warm, but not as hot. So my logic tells me that the short is in the APU, but then again, I have seen shorts heat up other ic's that are not the issue, but normally that would be voltage regulators or something on in between the voltage source and short.
Any ideas? I am in a tight spot, since it is my daily use computer, and my wife was just about to start school online this week.
