Hi, you definitely have something burned on the motherboard, otherwise it's your processor.

Hi, you definitely have something burned on the motherboard, otherwise it's your processor.

So what do you think I should do then?
I mean the fan doesn't spin and I tried another fan and it didn't spin up either.
and also have tried 2-3 DIFFERENT PSU too..
I'm at a loss please help me a little more I can give you all the information you need!

The laptop when it comes on DOESN'T make any beeping sound whatsoever but it still charges, turns on fine just no boot??

I also put another compatible processor in and it does the same thing too...

Where does the smoke come from?

 

[metalmania1]

Well the laptop only smoked once and it was by the fan or the processor..
Still looking for some kind of fix for this...
It also faintly smells by where the processor is too..
but the weird thing is there are NO burn marks on ANYTHING.. not even the chips themselves!!
I have bought a new processor for it BUT should I hold off putting it in though???? (the right way this time lol)
Thank You!

The only way to find the burned component, with a schematic in hand, is to take a few readings. After analyzing the readings, an electronics technician will conclude if you have one or more defective components.

oh ok
So there's no other way accept take it in to a professional..
I appreciate your help and all you have done but that's going to COST a lot on my end!
i also know that there's nothing else i can do accept just try and sell as is i guess..
This defintely doesn't solve my issue but there's probably no other way i guess.
I appreciate it though..
Thank You

You can try the obvious tests, remove all the power, the battery and the adapter, hold the power button for a minute, try to boot. Or try flashing the BIOS from a USB flash drive. Even try the new processor, but it is not guaranteed it will be good after. Obviously, if all else fails, a component is burned when you install the processor the wrong way, sorry. I don't think anybody else on this site will have a better answer!
