Getting In Too Deep

This  Dell 14R had a water/coffee spill and blew some parts and pads from the laptop  motherboard. This image shows the resistor PR12 after removed from board. Shown here before cleaning This image shows how it should look, and the  original view. This image shows how the repair had to be  done.  Part of the pad was still visible, and the hole pad had enamel removed to allow connectivity to the pad and trace.

The DV6000 and DV9000 series has a bypass jumper that you can short to turn on the unit without having to connect the power on button. Now the DV7 also has a method also.  this way you don't have to disconnect from the frame and makes it prone to breakage or scratching the plastic.

Toshiba L455D Blink On then Off Light. Power light functions normally. Charge light functions normally. Does not run. Does not post. Turns on then shuts off. The unit powers on then after a few seconds- shuts off. This is was caused by a shorted MOSFET PQ10 that exhibited a full short 0Ω Since they were in a pair formation, both were replaced so the current level would be balanced.  The cost is so low, that it was not a consideration. Two AO4466 replaced with two AO4468 mosfets which were available.  AO4468 is out of production, but were found on an HP DV6000 near the Maxim [MAX8734/PU10] quad output power distribution chip.             (PQ31/PQ32 on DV6k) The coil PL3 was cracked in half, was not exactly sure if the coil would be defective, but the nature of coils is to push current within the electromagnetic field, so if the field is open the electrons may not go forward, tools did not allow the ability to verify. So it was replaced.  (When in doubt, replace) Please N

I will only report how I fixed it, not answer specifics related to why/how/what or "where can I get parts" questions, because I simply don't have the time to reply to the requests. This DV5 came in with no video display. The problem was a coil L6002 to the right of the GPU shield. The coil and/or pad cannot handle the 'bounce' current that flows through. Taking the coil out of the circuit path eliminates that problem.  Small inset image shows where the coil was and the old path of the circuit. Larger View Shows coil location
