Re: Burned track from a notebook's mother, tin enough or should I add wire?

Well I couldn't make it completely pass the diode test, but I don't think I can make a great contact with the multimeter ends, i do get to transfer a bit of current from pins 1 and 2 to pin 3, so I'll assume it is working, thanks again for the help identifying the part!

Btw I looked for switching diodes on the market in case of the worst, I'm glad I don't have to order them, minimum quantity I found was 100 for diodes of that size, and that was just for a particular switching diode, others...

It definately looks like the ones you mention. Thanks! I can just do a diode test then

No, it's three legged, it may say DP, it is not easy to read it. I think it was just the board trace, I have not fix it yet, but I would like to know what component is on it as well. I attach an edited picture marking the component to be clear which one it is. It is on top of another identical one that says MU or MV, I'm not quite sure.

I've just tried to read on the six legged component that says VD, but as far as my eyes, my helping hands lens and my camera can tell it is...

A cut off capacitor lead would be easier to place than wire, its a nice idea, i just need to get one big enough to go from the track to the component and cut it

I guess I'm gonna have to scrape it, the other end of the track goes under a component and I can't hook the other side of the wire there.

Thanks!...

Hi, I have a notebook that doesn't want to turn on. At first it showed some signs it made me think it was a bad capacitor. I was wrong. There is a small track that blew, it's attached to a tiny transistor I think. On top of it there are only two letters: OP. I thought it was a bad cap because it turned on for a few seconds every day, but that was due to the carbonization, it completed the circuit untill it got hot...

I think it is just the track that has gone bad. So my plan is to solder it back. I'm pretty sure I can solder it with just tin and flux. But, given that the copper...
