Asus X200CA Laptop Won't Charge or Turn on

[Dactam]

My Asus X200CA Notebook won't turn on or charge. I get a 12v reading all over the motherboard as long as the cord is in. I checked the dc port, and it's fine, but still won't charge or turn on. Any ideas?

Hi, I do not have the schematics for your laptop, maybe I could help you, if you are willing, take a high-resolution photo of each side of the motherboard and after I ask you to take some readings.

OK I'll do that asap. Might take some time as I've never fully removed the motherboard

have you tried a hard reset by removing both the main battery & power adapter, hold the power button down for a 20 count, re-install the battery & power adapter then turn on the laptop?

No, I havent. Would that erase all my data?

No, it's safe to try.

OK will do

Do you have a phone, or email? Kind of a pain sending this many pics

Wait, rather you will give me the numbers on the chips that I'll ask you.

Ok, whenever you are ready

Give me the numbers on those chips, 1=, 2= ...

I'll do that asap. Sorry I have a really busy schedule and no multimeter of my own. Also, do you mean with one probe on the DC port, and one on the chip, or different sides of the chip?

For now, I need the part number on the chips, not the voltages on the pins.
