    IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo R500 Power Problems

    I have an Ibm Lenovo R500 that will post and work fine for days if it has not been powered on for awhile. However if you try to reboot after it has been powered on it will not post and will not post again until the system has drained it charge I'm guessing(usually around a day).

    This leads me to believe it has something to do with bad mosfets as problem started after wrong charger was plugged in. I am still looking for a schematic for this laptop but have yet to find one. I have located some mosfets on the board witch I believe could be the culprit to my problem. The 3 mosfets shown with K039 markings on them I read 16 ohms from source to drain.

    Could anyone with more knowledge than me chime in to let me know if I am on the right track? Also would anyone know what I could get for a replacement for those mosfets.

    Thanks for looking
