Is it possible to fix that Asus N550JV motherboard?
So I was cleaning my computer and I forgot to unplug the power cord. Now my motherboard seems dead, but when I plug it back in, the fans spin a bit then stop completely. The lights don't come on either, and some chip has burned up. (The chip says PJP8200 here)
Welcome to the forums! To me, things look bad because the traces inside or on the board seem to be damaged too. It looks like what used to be there got blown up or exploded. You might want to contact someone like NorthRidgeFix if you are in the U.S.A. But since I see it clearly now, if you aren't good at soldering, don't have steady hands, and lack a fine-tipped iron, plus you need tweezers, a microscope, proper gear (like a wick, flux, and more), then no matter what you try with donor boards or the right parts for your laptop, it won't work. The fact that you started this thread shows that you don't have the tools or skills to do it yourself. If you aren't in the U.S.A., go look for a local shop that can fix things professionally. You might also need to check how much money it would cost to get a new motherboard, and then compare that against the price of buying a whole new laptop.
