Hello everyone! I am hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on with this machine. From what testing has been done I can see the motherboard looks like it is trying to power on(fans spin for a second, CPU and GPU start to warm up) but no picture ever displays and when in its case it seems like no signs of life(no keyboard or charging lights). At first I was thinking it could possibly be a bios related issue but now I'm not convinced. The system seems to be getting its 19v, 5v and 3v power. The other thing I noticed was one of the inductors in the vrm seems to heat up really fast when plugged in(R22 2117). I can swap components if it needs but I figured I'd ask the community first if it's even possible to salvage. I cannot locate a replacement inductor online or from any donor machines otherwise I would have swapped it just to see. I am still trying to learn electronic diagnostics and appreciate any help. Thanks!!!
