    Why are there two inputs mosfets?

    Just trying to fix this old Alienware m14x laptop.

    found a shorted capacitor and a shorted mosfet on the input mosfet pair.

    im i newish to this and was wondering why you almost always have a pair of identical mosfets on in the input? They both do the same thing so what the point?

    also on a side note i am eager to test laptop since no short now, is there a way to bypass the 2nd mosfet for a temporary solution until replacement arrives?

          In addition to the main purpose of a bidirectional switch, the first MOSFET also serves as an inrush current limiter.
