Hello,
As the tittle suggests, the laptop does not want to power on. It is completely dead (no LEDs or the CPU/GPU fan spinning).
Motherboard does received power, connector and the connector cable do work.
I can hear a clicking sound coming from the motherboard every ~1.5s, I assume there is a open circuit somewhere that is causing all this trouble. I cannot pinpoint the location of the fault by ear, it sounds the same no matter where I place my ear.
Nothing is hot or even warm to the touch. Super I/O chip does not appear to be damaged, so one or more conditions do not allow the unit to power on?
Can you please advise what to check, very detailed because of my limited experience?
Thanks.
