Gateway NV53 (MS2285) DC Input

[lexx69]

Hey All,

I have a Gateway NV53 MS2285 that was given to me to repair with a broken AC/DC Input Jack. It seemed like a pretty easy removal and solder on the new jack. However when taking a look at the board there is a surface mounted part (it looks like a possibly a transistor, one input two output. based on my research possibly a small outline transistor?) on the other side of the board that is broken as well. The lead is broken off inside the ceramic so I cant reconnect it.

The board labellings near the part are Lid 1, and EC2. The part itself is labelled as FD916. Ive looked for any kind of any information on this but havent been able to find anything.

Any information anyone could provide or place to suggest to research would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

Sounds like it is part of the lid switch circuit. It's the thing responsible for the laptop taking an action (such as turning off the screen or going to standby) when the lid is closed. Could you by any chance take some nice clear pictures of the area? Then we can guess better which part it should be.
