Hello people, so i have this Asus Notebook which is called under the model name x550ln and it is somewhat broken. It was abused by a fatal mistake of having it in a bag with an can of monster energy and it poped whole laptop was soked, keep in mind this was last year, it has been in a bath to get the grease off and stickyness. The bath did not help the laptop, by bath i mean like somekind of bath not like water i forgot what its called. but the point is it didnt show any sign of life back then but now, when i plug the charger inn it makes a noise noticeable if you have your head tilted above the processor/gpu area and the processor begins to become very hot, and gpu but nothing else happends, like not even the smal led light bulbs with show power or either the screen. I wondered if anyone has any experience in laptop recovery and has seen this kind of behavior before, i removed the heatsink which had some brown colouring in it so i would guess that is something from the spilling to do with and i cleaned both the brown part and thermal compound. And also the motherboard does not have any sign of shorting, by that i mean visually. I have taken some pictures.

Could be that some of the pcb or, wires, or ICs are permanently damaged by corruption or something, chances are that it's not worth the cost it would take to fix it :/

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

If you wanted to you could head over to the Louis Rossman forums, some of the guys over there probably have more experience than any of us, but you'd probably end up having to buy a lot of components and tools to fix it so... Might be worth a try though.
