    Please edit the post and use the ADVANCED function to attach the pictures. Pictures must be in focus since we do not have the board in front of us to look at them.
    Please see the redlines in the pictures.

            Yes, no? If not, which one are you referring to?

              He is referring to photo(1).jpg. The one of the power supply, which is the brown board you have taken two photos of. The inverter board is the green board you posted in post #24. There are two white connectors with a rainbow of wires coming out. There should be numbers silk screened on the board just to the side of those connectors. He would like to be able to clearly read what is printed there. Clear, focused photos are going to be almost mandatory from this point on. You may want to find yourself a better camera. The iphone should do to read the numbers.

              Sorry to butt in Bud, just figured while you were away, he could be busy with the trivial stuff. If I step on anyone's toes, by all means feel free to put me in my place. I would kill for a fraction of your knowledge.

                No problem worminizer, you had them correctly to what I want to see of the post #21 and the #3 picture (the power supply board) of post #22. and the inverter board multi cables. I need to be able to tell him which pins to check and see if they have the correct voltages on them or not. It is very difficult when we do not have the boards in front of us to look at them, bad pictures do not help much at all.
                So far the pictures are way out of focus.

                      I still do not see the pictures of the two or three white connectors on the other end of the power supply board, you can see what I have circled in the post #21. I will give up answering this thread soon.

                        My apologies, if you understand how difficult it is to not know what is wrong by not having the board in front of you then you must understand it's quite difficult knowing what you want to see by simply posting.

                        Here it is.

                          by HTR-Informatique
                          Hello,

                          YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

                          I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                          On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                          I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                          I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                          I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

                          Hello everyone !

                          My name is Chris, I am a 30 years old embedded software developer working in the automotive industry. I am really passionate about learning new skills and repairing/crafting stuff. I came around this forum last week with the goal of repairing my faulty gaming laptop, indeed, I was video editing on it when suddenly a black screen popped and never disappeared I bought some stuff to try to repair it and learn as many things as possible about computer repairs but nothing worked so far. When the black screen appeared, my legion 5 pro was connected to my external monitor...

                          Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH - black screen
                          by DaniK
                          Hi everyone,
                          I have this strange behaviour with Acer Aspire E5-574-52RH, i5 6200U, intel graphics, DA0ZRWMB6G0 Rev G, model ZRW.
                          Laptop came in for a SSD upgrade, took everything apart to install the SSD.
                          Everything started after modifying BIOS settings to boot UEFI instead of Legacy.
                          Laptop works fine, i installed windows 10 and drivers/updates, everything works ok(when it works)
                          The black screen problem is random, maybe 5 out 10 times, laptop remains with the black screen, no image

                          Symptoms are:
                          - random black screen after displaying Acer logo...

                          by paqman
                          So our beloved M60-C3 up and died the other day. I was not there, my wife mentioned that it came on, displayed the logo, then showed the right half of the screen white and fuzzy, with the left half of the screen ok. However when I got around to looking at it, the screen would not come on at all. The indicator LED will come on, then dim a bit. After a while, the LED might blink a bunch of times. I can't get it to be consistent to do that.

                          So I've got the back off and am checking voltages. The capacitors on the power supply board visually check out. No bulges or anything. They all show...
