Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Well, a year and a half ago I received a $5k woth alienware laptop from work and just 2 months after the warranty expired, it failed. Good news (at least for me) the laptop now was given to me as a gift since the IT area don't want to fix it. Bad news, the damaged motherboard is over $1k, so I'm trying to fix this on my own. Maybe a MOSFET or a bad cap has the motherboard shorted to ground, we'll see if there is a chance to make it work.
