Hello everyone, I'm repairing this for a friend.
The motherboard is toast (from what I can see). Does anyone know what the failure point is on them? I believe it is the type with the "advanced" graphics chipset. Which is what I believe failed (chip heats up immediately upon powerup)
The specific board part number is 642754-001
Does anyone know if a different variant board will fit and work and maybe less failure prone than than this one? Maybe one with the standard chipset?
The laptop doesn't boot, black screen, and caps lock light flashes repetitively and doesn't stop.
Thanks!
