Hi everybody.
After my latest failure with the Acer laptop I adquired another laptop to keep practicing. This time is a Dell 5577 (i5 7th gen + GTX 1050).
According to the original owner, the laptop was working fine, but it started turning slower and slower until it just stopped posting. Nowdays if plugged with just the ram, the fans and the screen connected (no battery, no wifi, no drives and no coin battery), it will turn on but it will turn off after a couple of seconds and will never show anything on screen. One of the fans starts spinning but it stops after one second too, the second fan doesnt even try to spin.
I already cleaned the ram sticks and even tried with a spare 4gb stick I have, but neither changed anything for good. Something I noticed is that the system does seem to recognize the ram, since if I remove it after turning it on again the front led will blink twice on orange and thrice on white, indicating the lack of installed ram.
Checking the board I dont see anything noticeably damaged, but I could be mistaken. Sadly Im not being able to find a schematic for this model, so Im going even blinder than last time. Any help of suggestions are appreciated.
