Re: How to read laptop schematics

Thanks! This should help a lot.

Right now I am looking over the schematic of my laptop. It is a Gateway NV53U. The mainboard is manufactured by Winstron. I am having trouble decoding the terms used. For instance on the schematic L14 (Inductor 14) is listed as SBK160808T-100Y-N-GP or C70 (Capacitor 70) as SC3P50V2CN-1-GP. They are all SMD components and I tried to determine the meaning based on codes but I would like to get other people's opinions on what these codes mean. Thank You.
Please find the schematic in question attached...

Hi, I don't have an Electronics's Background. But When I was younger I had almost every Radio Shack 200-in-1, 30-in-1, ect. I understand the basics. The Caps, the resistors, the transistors, etc. I am not very good with the logic circuits and I don't know how to properly use an oscilloscope. The reason I am hear is to learn as much as I can about how to do it yourself repairs on Laptops and Pc. I find too many people throw out their PC and Laptop equipment for no good reason. Case in point: A lot of laptops have improper heat...
