I made one of those DIY laptop coolers and forgot to insulate the two most important wires (which were touching causing short circuit) Plugged it into my laptop which is rendering and suddenly everything just turns off. Is there a fuse or a component I can replace? Tried everything, took out the hard drive. If it is unrevivable what parts will still work?Laptop: asus pro50seriesCPU: intel core 2 duo t5750Hard drive: seagate 250gbRam: 2gbAny help appreciated. Really urgent. What parts do I need to change?
Sorry, there is very little good news. You fried the motherboard with that short circuit, and replacing that will probably cost you the same or more than buying a new laptop. In the worst case scenario, it is quite possible that your CPU and RAM got cooked as well. The only good news is that your hard drive may still be okay.
