Hello. My Lenovo ideapad started smelling like burning plastic when I plugged in the charger. After I took the charger out, I saw it melted. Then I tried to get a new one, but nothing charged at all. When I finally wanted to give it back, I only found out that my warranty ended on December 31st, 2022. So when I opened it up and looked inside, I noticed a broken resistor chip. I can only figure it out that it's a PJx5xx EXF type, not the other numbers because of the crack.

What is this? Could you take a photo and send it? Looks like I might need a new DC plug.
