Hello,
The bad series continues... My HP laptop is out of service
I heard a "strange" noise and a suspicious smell... So I disassembled the machine and here I am with a capacitor that has completely exploded and the PCB burned.

I desoldered and cleaned the mess, here is the result.

My problem is that I can't find absolutely anything on this LA-E801P rev 2.0 motherboard, so does anyone have any idea which component broke please?
I assume that the mosfet is responsible... I can change it but without knowing how the PCB is at the base, it will be complicated.
Thank you very much in advance. I no longer have a Mac (awaiting repair following the great advice here) and therefore no more PC. Here I am with nothing!
Thank you very much again.
