Yes already done that when I replaced the damaged heatsink and once more when I rechecked the currents when I had the readings at the DC jack connector on the motherboard and also nothing, cleaned the socket with compressed air, at the bottom of the motherboard where the DC connector is located...

Hi again jarotech and thanks, I'm feeling a little better, how are you? I have some updates, I tested everything again and guess what happened... my bad because I have readings at the DC connection on the motherboard, so the DC jack nor the wires are faulty I guess, both pieces of the charger...

https://imgur.com/a/qlrMO That's the link to the album with the images, those are directly from my laptop, sorry for the delay but I caught this flu that knocked me down and yes the DC jack cables are faulty, I'll have to test another one but have to buy it from abroad, let's see if I can manage...

Hello jarotech, sorry again for the delay but I have some news, bad news, I had the chance to test the DC jack connector on the motherboard and I can confirm that the motherboard is totally dead, electricity won't get through the cable to the motherboard, I have all the readings at the cable...

Hi jarotech, sorry for the delay and of course, I can post some new pictures from both the DC jack and the motherboard, as soon as I take them, I'll post them, thanks a lot to keeping in touch

Oh OK, directly from the motherboard, there are some joints where I could put the voltmeter wires, here are some of the images, first one is the DC jack and the second is from the motherboard, hope its useful, I put a red circle around de connector, (not my images but illustrative I guess)...

Thanks a lot for your guidance but I have a question, I make the test with the AC adapter plugged to the outlet? the DC jack runs to the motherboard in a four cables connector to a nearly encased four pins connection, I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link to an image to show you how it is...

With the lent multimeter, my friend is a car mechanic and he guided me with the test but only with the AC adapter wich is a 2 pieces adapter, first the cable that plugs in to the outlet and goes to the brick, I tested that cable first unplugged from everything, the first test was to verify if...

Hi jarotech, haven't tested yet it because I don't have a multimeter available, a friend of mine lend me one but got to give him it back, as soon as I can I will test it, but how to do it? In the meantime, can I check something else? thanks for your help!

You mean to check if everything is properly connected or a connection damaged? Yes, I did both, nothing seems to be damaged, every pin in every connection is good, and before re-assembly the laptop I double check everything to verify its connected as it should be, RAM dimms, screen connections...

Hello everybody, I have this Lenovo L530 laptop which won't turn on, what happened? One day I decided to open it and clean it, I was connected to ground to avoid any static discharge and disconnected from the wall outlet and without the battery inserted, while I was at it I tried to separate the...
