sikimpapustu Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Friends,I hope you can help me i replaced my screencable of my y500 sli last month after the known screen flickering problem.after 1 week of being happy that my laptop was working again i wanted to start it and instant there was smoke and flame comming out of the right hinge (screen flickered for 1 second and went black)ive removed the battery as soon as i could.ive ordered another monitor cable and installed this (the old one was melted totally screwed)laptop wont turn on anymore with the new cable! when i press the power button the lights will come on and turn off as soon as i remove my finger from the power button.no sign of life in the screen when doing this.do i need a new mobo or screen or both?im not shure what to do with the laptop where can i find a spare part for cheap? should i get over it and leave it as?thanks for your help!

BetaStar Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Generally, replacing motherboards on a laptop is very tedious and more expensive than buying a entirely new laptop. If you see a smoke, always not a good sign and you shouldn't try to turn it back on after that. (It might take other parts with it)I recommend contacting a retailer that you bought it from if you have a valid warranty.As for spare parts, you can maybe find them on eBay, but they are never cheap.

Xynosaur Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yeah big chances you motherboard burned ! Like Betastar said "...replacing motherboards on a laptop is very tedious and more expensive than buying a entirely new laptop. If you see a smoke, always not a good sign and you shouldn't try to turn it back on after that." Try another motherboard and new parts at your risk and peril ! Electricity is very serious and can be deadly if you don't know how to work with that !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
