How to diagnose problem after charger shorting?
My Asus N56VZ charger shorted as i plugged it in and tripped the home circuit breaker.
The laptop was plugged in at the time. I bought a new charger and now the laptop will not start. I have tried the following tests so far.
With battery attached and charger plugged in i get the red battery light. When i press power button it starts booting and after about 10 seconds it stops and goes dead.
With battery removed and charger plugged i get no lights and nothing happens when i press the power button.
I have opened the laptop and found i get 19V into the power socket, 19v after the connectors all the way to where it plugs into the main board. That is all i know to test. Just tested to confirm the power supply socket is ok.
What should i check next? How do i test the main board?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
Is this a good question?
