Re: Acer Nitro 5 An517-51 mainboard short circuit - Boomer needs help

I will not do it myself but I seek advice what is wrong and if I can get another board like the ones linked in the first post since they are far cheaper than the original board.
My budget does not allow for a full recovery so I could live with some downgrades. The exchange will be done by a local technician.

Hi. Thanks for your help so far.
New pictures attached since I cannot edit my initial post.

As far as I remember it was the small motherboard that got super hot when the circuit happened. I am not 100% certain on this.

I tried booting with and without the small board. With and without the battery. Combinations as well. Tried booting with only battery, only charger and both.

No reaction at all. No lights flashing.
When connecting the charger...

Hi. Thanks for your answer.

After waiting some time I tried booting it again. It booted for a few seconds and got super hot at that port again. It was the board on the small side-mainboard. Since then never ever again.

Any ideas on which other mainboard might be ok to use?

Laptop data:
NTB Acer An517-51 FHD

Bon soir dear online techies, enthusiasts, modest helpers and whomever I might have forgotten!

Search gave me no hits so this is my first post.

My Acer 5 Nitro mainboard had a short circuit when I tried to plugin a USB device. Some smoke rose from the port and it became super hot a that point of entry/exit. Warranty was of about a month.
Since I am on a low budget I cannot afford to buy...
