Hello all,
I recently bought an Asus X54H laptop that had a damaged power port (common problem with this laptop) thinking that I would replace the power port and it would work fine.
After taking it apart I noticed that there had already been an attempted repair on the power port and that it was a horrible job at that.
Anyhow by putting a little pressure on the power port I was able to get power to the motherboard but it was still not powering up, no lights, nothing.
I then noticed that there was a blown cap.
Hoping to find out what it was I googled "PJP8800" and found the schematics for another Asus laptop motherboard where PJP8800 was under the charger section.
Not really understanding block diagrams and schematics this does not really mean a whole lot to me but obviously it is to do with the battery charging circuit.
So would this cap prevent the laptop from powering up or is there likely to be something else wrong with the mobo? what it is the cap that needs replacing?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
