Motherboard resistor corroded

Frug_E

So I can’t start up my pc at all and I believe it’s because this part (I think it’s a resistor) got corroded by a screw that came loose inside the laptop. If anyone knows some place or someone that can repair it please do tell me. But I’ve been looking and I haven’t been able to find anyone. So how exactly if I were to do this on my own would I replace the small little part. It’s seems a little daunting but I don’t feel like I have a choice since I can’t find a place to repair it.

The motherboard probably shorted from the screw. The laptop might be toast

So even if the part was replaced you don’t think it would work? The screw when I found it was lodged in between the CPU heat sink and the part. So it can’t imagine it instantly corroded the piece of metal and probably slowly did it until it killed that one piece of the board.

Potentially. How much is your time worth to you? I'd get something else. I don't even know where you would get the replacement part

Are you talking about the component right next to "PL5401"? That component is a capacitor. If you search for "ceramic smd capacitor" you will see hundred of examples, as capacitors are used a lot. Resistors are a different component, they are usually black and have a three digit value written on them (although not always).

Capacitors come in different values (voltage and capacitance) and sizes, so it's key to get the right component to replace this with, assuming this is the component at fault.

 

You'd need to look for a repair place that does board level repair. While it's not that difficult to solder one into place and it's not that difficult to remove this one, it is difficult to do it all cleanly and get the right component, if you are not too familiar with the component or soldering.

Also, always unplug the battery before doing anything on the board, unless you know what you're doing.
