    laptop dead?

    I've stripped it all back down and checked the motherboard thoroughly for any signs of burning. Think I've traced the fault to a dead power daughterboard - although this could be a red herring. When this daughterboard is plugged into the motherboard, the mains charger whirs and clicks like...
