How to identify component on Dell Inspiron 5100 motherboard?
Short Story
I'm trying to fix a Dell Inspiron 5100 motherboard. I believe that there is a chip/component that was damaged. The package is damaged, so I can't read all the codes. I have photos of the partial code and location of the component: http://5100.iut.us Long Story My wife plugged a old Compaq power supply into her Dell Insipron 5100 (insert square peg in a round hole joke here) by accident. She noticed a burning smell and unplugged it right away. The laptop still worked running off the battery but would not work with only the AC adaptor or with a dead battery and it won't charge the battery anymore. Dell wants $399 for a new motherboard and I have to install it myself or hire someone. I figure I can't loose much trying to fix it or jerry-rig an AC adaptor to work through the batter connector. I took the motherboard out and noticed that there is small chip-like component that looks fried. I can't make out all the codes on it so I am trying to figure out what the part codes are so I can try and order a new one and solder it on. I have some photos on my web site of the component and it's position on the motherboard. If anyone can identify the part or has any ideas on how I can get more information to identify it myself, please let me know. Photos: http://5100.iut.us -Mike |
