    Location of components multiple laptops

    Hi,

    As I follow the communication on this forum, it supprises me how one does know to find the right components on a pcb where the components numbers are not printed.
    The question has been asked a couple of time, but never got really answered.
    At first, the components were printed normal, and than they start to use these ˝fields˝ of numbers on the free locations of the pcb.
    The next generation leaves off all the small components like C's and R's

    Can somebody pls explain how to locate these components?
    I find it very hard to follow the pcb lines, especially when they disappear to another layer. Is there a certain way to do this?

    thanks

      You need the boardview file.

          Thanks for the reply.

          That clarifies it, but for the Toshiba L650 and Aspire 5750(compal la-6901P) they are not included with the schematics. Can you tell me where to obtain them?

                      I hope for that.
                      But I have found the boarview files for the Inventec BL10, which are .brd files. Only I have not found a good reader yet. Eagle program says error in first line by every file, so I think I need a different reader

                          It took a good bit of hours, but I have found the boardview from the Toshiba L650. Inventec Berlin BL10 and the boarview reader.
                          Mind you, there are a lot of files around that cann't be read with readers as Allegro, KiCad etc. Always something missing or wrong archive. You have to look at the source of the boardview file, and see if they have a working reader.

                                  Sparkle 1200W PSU MAGNA Model: SPM1200AXJ8 - Broken. Need help identifying components. Any schematics available?
                                  by Sam Scarbo
                                  My Sparkle (SPI) PC power supply has broken. Originally, there was totally no power output. The 5V-standby was not there. I have replaced a few bulged capacitors but not helping.

                                  I was trying to do more troubleshooting but burned more components. Some got burned so badly that the markings were gone. And also, the markings of a few transistors were gone because the component surface was worn out somehow.
                                  If you happened to have disassembled the same PSU model, please help to provide the markings of some of these components.

                                  See the attached two pictures of the small...

                                  Hi,

                                  I am working on a Surface Laptop GO 3, which is the new release 2024 with a i5-1230U processor. Originally, it had a 256GB SSD, then the owner attempted to upgrade it to 1TB SSD by himself. "Surprisingly", it did not boot afterwards, then changed back to the original SSD, did not boot either.

                                  It turned out to be that just a couple of components had been knocked off when the owner was trying to get off the SSD cover with his beloved screw driver.

                                  I do not have another board of same model. Although I have a Laptop Go 2, the layout of that bit...

                                  Surface Pro 4 - need help with some messed up components
                                  by Endlessmist
                                  Hi everyone

                                  Here is the case that i'm trying to solve.

                                  (short intro to explain what happened)

                                  I bought second hand Surface Pro 4 and when I tried to reinstall the Windows it appeared there was the password on UEFI. Seller don't reply anymore. I decided to reflash the UEFI chip to remove the password. So I need to remove the chip from the motherboard first.

                                  I have basic experience of repair tablets and phones, like battery or display change. So i opened the Surface Pro 4 and removed the motherboard successfully.

                                  (the...

                                  Lenovo Thinkpad T14s gen2i (NM-D362) not starting up after wifi upgrade attempt.
                                  by acedogblast
                                  After attempting to upgrade the soldered 1216 Wifi module my motherboard no longer turns on. The board works before the upgrade attempt so that would certainly mean some components got knocked off accidentally but I can not find any missing components. I have thoroughly checked the whole board multiple times so lets do some tests from scratch.

                                  Things that currently work:
                                  • USB-C PD for 20V
                                  • Battery charging
                                  • VCC5M and VCC5_PD
                                  • VCC3M
                                  • VCCPCHCORE (1.8V)
                                  I have checked and verified that PWRSWITCH has 3.3V and goes low when pressing the power button. This is measured at the JCAM1 connector....

                                  DJI Mini Pro 3 missing components near camera connector
                                  by summerwhite
                                  I have a DJI drone that is not displaying a video feed anymore after a repair.

                                  When tearing down the DJI drone to fix the armature there was some hot glue next to the camera connector that i had to remove.

                                  Now there are missing components either because they got pulled off or because they where never placed.

                                  I have two reference images from XXZ and a photo of mine.

                                  I'm truely hoping someone has another DJI Mini Pro 3 that they can help me identify what these components are and if they are necessary.
