Help Required : Laptop repairs

[K0dAx]

Hi guys. I don't know if this is the right section to post this but I'm in need of an electrician or someone proficient with fixing motherboards in the Pretoria/Centurion area to assist me in diagnosing and fixing my laptop motherboard.

My laptop just went dead and after removing the the back cover I could smell something burning from the motherboard.

Thank you for your time.

Most probably not going to be worth the time/effort/cost.

Burning on the motherboard is never a good sign, any warranty?

If you can open it up and look for magic smokes stains you might get lucky and only have one blown component otherwise you looking at a motherboard replacement. Good luck

I checked the warranty and it expired

So I ended up taking the laptop to @ScorpioMan86 who worked his magic on it and got my problem sorted out!

Thanks brother for the help, I was really stranded and you really came through.
