It sure helped, Meritosari, and the board is indeed a Pegatron, I found the code underneath the keyboard (where there was also an opening through which you could replace the fuse!).
It was enough to replace the FDMC8884 and the laptop was functioning again.
No "short to ground", but "on the ground": can you tell me what distinguishes the two?
On other Toshiba schemas I found plenty of these combinations: 2.2k resister - capacitor - ground.
Thanks, Gerard...
According to [url]http://mayohardware.blogspot.be/2011/02/tips-on-testing-mosfets.html[/url] I should be reading between 100 and 500 on the mosfets with a diode test. That's OK for the F8707, but on the FDMC 8884 I read only 64. Moreover, it looks a lot as if gate and source are shorted on the 8884, as with [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41206[/url].
Then I have a short to ground where I've drawn two connected red circles on the attached picture. I didn't expect...
The motherboard belongs to a Toshiba C855-P21, intel core I3 + amd gpu, the image attached is not mine but a lookalike. What is the symbol for a fuse on a schema?
Thank you all!

Hallo, Gerard here. I love a challenge, so I'll try to revive a laptop motherboard my friend fried when powering it with the wrong polarity. I've got a simple question to get started, so I decided to register here, didn't find another forum with so much information as this one.
