Got a really frustrating issue here, got a Dell laptop as above which initially had a short on the +POWER_SRC rail, discovered a short cap in a bank of 3 near PU801. Removed and verified the short was gone, it was and the laptop powered on, tried to load windows but just kept rebooting. Sometimes didn't post. Battery was charging.
Stripped it back down and replaced the cap (assumed looking at the LA-632p schematic it's a 10U cap, no boardview so who really knows). Now the board doesn't charge the battery and while it powers on with a brief spin of the fans, there's no display on the internal lcd or external via hdmi and no post. Stays on for 60 secs then turns off.
I'm losing my mind with this one, all seems fine and can't find another short, the display test works fine, I get an error with no RAM (blinking orange/white led) and power button turns it off with a brief spin of the fan.
CPU gets warm, not hot.
I can't find any missing voltages. Help please
