Re: Fried Toshiba Satellite U500 Motherboard

thanks for the advice. how bad do you think this is? will I have a lower chance of having it fixed? this kind of board doesn't seem to be common in our country, since the unit have arabic characters on top. Is this a common issue with the U series or I just didn't get lucky.
The board cost at around 200Usd over the net, not sure if it reach me if ever i did purchased one due to tax issues.

Re: Fried Toshiba Satellite U500 Motherboard


have plans in rebuilding the bridge. just need to sacrifice the battery connector when I have finalized the components. If only I could get a good picture on how this thing looks like. The pics from seller's site have this battery connection cover so I'm still guessing. It's a hole indeed, from which a golf ball wouldn't fit...hehehe......

What I got here is a fried motherboard, I'm trying to figure out the missing components and their values. Having it crossed reference from other mobo pics from sellers, it seems that there are two capacitors missing and one resistor between the mosfets, also trying to know the proper pcd layout from the burnt part. I have already removed the two mosfets but I'm having hard time reading on their markings.

Hoping that someone will tell me what their values are, and if there are still missing...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello to all, a new member here, I only do electrical works before trying to avoid electronic stuff, especially those micro printed smds (unlike generators and motors that needless of a microscope just to read the tags)... until my moms microwave oven's 110v plugged into a 220's. Praying it be just a busted fuse. Then it turns out that the digital controller board is fried. Tried hard learning about electronics... after two whole weeks I finally got it fixed. Now got hoocked on this stuff... never thought that this will be addictive....
