  I found the fuse, but it wasn’t blown 🥲 I’ve looked over the board, and watched some repair videos but I haven’t found anything. I’ve called it dead now.

  Nope, no signs of life with the battery removed and on wall power only. I believe the battery was not to blame, but something went wrong that caused it to also drain the battery. I will check the battery anyway and report back if I find anything interesting. Thanks for the helpful link.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old laptop died 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a great tip, but unfortunately the power supply is not turning off. I will refer to this next time though 👌

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old laptop died 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Current passes through it unfortunately, maybe it’s possible there is a short between coils though. The inductor doesn’t get hot or anything when plugged in.

  • I think I’ve managed to check the battery voltage, and it seems completely dead (mV).
  • I can measure 20v on the PCB whe n plugged in.
  • No fan, no LEDs, etc with either power source. There might be the slightest electrical squeek from somewhere, I will try and find out what …

  Even if I don’t manage to fix it. Thanks for the suggestions 👍

  Great advice, but unfortunately I’ve checked. 20V from the supply (measured on the laptop PCB), everything removed except the ram because I only have one compatible stick - I did swap the slot though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old laptop died 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just the continuity test 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old laptop died 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I guess I was just hoping it would be an easy find and fix. The beep confirmed hope is lost 🥲

  I was trying to send from a wormhole app, which I now see doesn’t work with the website.

  Ahh, I see. I’ve got a wormhole app on my phone which I was trying to use to send from. I guess it just can’t work with that website. Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use wormhole, but when I’ve wanted to use that website for receiving, I can never tell how to do it.

  Can you actually use that site to receive files?
