I have this asus for about one year, excellent condition, never had any problem...last month it was stormy and i was using ethernet cable, not wifi...there were lot of lightning strikes..then power surge...laptop completely shuttdown. I left it till the morning, and when try to turn it on, nothing...dead...so i decided to completely dismental it. So, when i had only motherboard in fron of me i tried again, but nothing...so i look closely and i could see that the realtek chip 8111-gux is completely burned/destroyed. So i decided to desolder it. It is a ethernet chip. After that i tried to turn it and yes...it powers on...but after a few seconds the fans start to spin on maximum. Oh, i forget to mention that thi motherboard has CPU and GPU chips integrated. So i tried to clean it, put keyboard back, and blueray and lcd...but no picture...black screen. When i press power button it shows power button on, it is charging the battery, backlights on keyboard are on and i can see blueray is reading the dvd rom in it...first few seconds the left fan is working slowly then it start spinning at max, also the right fan.
I ordered the new realtek chip but while i am waithing, i am wondering did something else burned also. Could missing realtek chip cause no picture and fans at max or there is something more. Any ideas what and where to check?
