Toshiba L455D - Previous repair attempt by another tech

Toshiba L455D - Board Damage

Ok so Monday starting off the week I get in a Toshiba L455D and say to myself "this should be easy" since I just had one last week and things went pretty fast. Taking the motherboard from the chassis I immediately see that it had been worked on by a 'hack', unexperienced tech.  Checking my previous notes to see exactly was was damaged I did a side-by-side comparison.

Then I realize that there are simply too many parts damaged and missing to even get the unit back to the way it should be. 


So this is one that I will not attempt to repair simply because of the amount of time it would take, and the value of the unit.


Solution: Replace motherboard.
