Re: Help troubleshooting Dell laptop
Well, ran some test on the board. I dont think its bad. Did a diode test and I got back this:
What do you make of this?
I checked the rest of the board. Didnt see any disconnected solder points. I'm going to keep checking I guess.Leave a comment:

Ahhhhhhh! Well that makes sense! I'm gonna test it first thing tomorrow! Plus, where can I find a new one? Most likely place? Radio Shack possibly?

Re: Help troubleshooting Dell laptop
Here are some more pics as you asked:
Willawake: If its a diode then that explains the power issues. But it fooled me because it has color bands like a resistor. Hopefully these pics will help more.
arneson: Thats what I was thinking. Whats my next step?
kc8adu: How could I have a cola/coffee spill on the bottom of the motherboard?Leave a comment:

Re: Help troubleshooting Gateway LCD
Yeah, there is stuff written on it. I'll try my best to make it out when I get home but the cap is kinda burnt. When I opened the LCD up the cap was just laying to the side disconnected from the board.
And yes, there is a very similiar circuit on the other side of the board.Leave a comment:

Re: Help troubleshooting Gateway LCD
Well, found the problem. Take a look at these pictures:
NOW, what is that piece and how do I fix it without killing myself from the high voltage?

Hey everyone, here is a update. I took the thing apart and on the bottom side of the motherboard, less than a 1/2 inch from the power jack, I found this:
Does something look bad to you?

Re: Help troubleshooting Gateway LCD
Hey guys! Thanks for the replies!
Willawake - does it on a know good pc.
Galvanized - I read the whole post you linked me too and it sounds like the exact same problem I'm having. It's probably the transistors. How do I test the transistors? I have a multimeterLeave a comment:

Help troubleshooting Dell laptop
I need help! I'm stumped. I have a Dell Inspirion 5150 I'm repairing. At first diagnosis, I thought the power jack was bad on the laptop since that is usually the case so I replaced the power jack but still no luck.
You plug the power adapter in to the power jack and I get NOTHING at all. I have tested the power adapter and its putting out the right 19.5 Volts. What else could it be?
Before I replaced the power jack, it was doing the same, dead. HELP!! -
Help troubleshooting Gateway LCD FPD1510
Hello all! I do some side work as a computer repair guy but I usually never work on LCD's. Someone gave me a LCD they said was bad and I'm trying to repair it. The LCD will come on for about 1 or 2 seconds when you first cut the computer on and then immediately shut off and say "no video feed". I'm sure there is a faulty electronic part inside but I'm not sure which one. I've been doing a lot of work repairing caps so soldering is not a problem.
Its a Gateway FPD1510. Thanks all!
