Location of components multiple laptops

[hansie55]

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.
