Spark/fried display connection on laptop

[carlr2306]

Hi All,

I have a ASUS ROG G751JL-BB17T29 and recently changed the battery in it as it had stopped charging. Stupidly I didn't unplug the battery before plugging the the display back in and it sparked, followed by a burning smell. So now there is no display when I turn the laptop back on. If I shine a light on the screen i can see my desktop and it also works when plugged into an external display.

Looking at the motherboard, it looks like the pins on the display point have become deformed. (I have a pic if needed). I'm just wondering if this is something repairable? New mobos for this laptop aren't cheap, so i'd rather just repair this one if possible

Hi, you seem to have blown a fuse or inductor on the motherboard. If you can give me a good image around the connector for the screen, this will help identify the faulty component.

Thanks for your answer.

Also remove the black plastic that covers the motherboard components.

This any better?

Yes much better, but the coil or fuse is on the other side of the motherboard.

Sorry for late reply. I'll take it out tonight and post a picture.

No problem, take your time.

Ok, looks like i found the culprit:

Is this repairable?

Yes, it is easily repairable, first you have to clean the black residue from the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol, you also need a soldering iron to solder the new component. This is the inductor you need. You can order more than one, for safety.

Wow that's a relief to hear! Thanks so much for your help.

I doubt I'll do it myself as I have 0 electrical/soldering knowledge, but at least I can potentially take it to someone now!

Thanks again!
