Comment on Old laptop died š„²
Yorick@sh.itjust.works āØ4ā© āØweeksā© agoJust so you know, as an inductor is just a small coil of copper, the resistivity might be low enough to trigger the beeping on the multimeter! So maybe itās not dead. Iāve seen a lot of burned down inductor and trust me it looks way worse.
If your multimeter can measure resistance in miliHoms, you should be able to measure at least ~10mR or more (that order of magnitude) Note that measuring a circuit like so is not guaranteed since thereās other stuff on a PCB that gets measured at the same time.
Did you remove the motherboard and looked at the other side?

Ah, I realise my wording was very confusing there. I meant: Because the inductor is NOT the problem - I donāt have any idea what the problem is - therefore the LAPTOP is dead (not the inductor)š
