Thank you for your help and information, could you give me a simple (For Me) identification of the two chips i require to replace to carry out repair please, its my first time repairing at this level. I am no good with schematics! The motherboard is a Quanta GM 7 i believe.

Re: Dell XPS l702x Chip identification (Quanta GM 7 )

Hi, i have just taken a couple more pictures of the smallest of the damaged chips and an overall picture of the motherboard to give a better indication as to its position on the board.

Thanks in advance...

I will take a closer look at the melt on the plastic screening. The smallest chip is close to the cmos battery. I will post better pictures soon. Thanks again.

Can anyone give an insight as to what they are and how they could naturally get damaged like this and if its safe to replace them if possible.

I have until recently just concentrated in the general problems faced by many a computer repair man, IE virus removal, bit of configuration diagnosis and motherboard repair like replacing a DC jack or USB port.
