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)๐

That's a great tip, but unfortunately the power supply is not turning off. I will refer to this next time though ๐
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 ๐
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.
Just the continuity test ๐
Thanks. I guess I was just hoping it would be an easy find and fix. The beep confirmed hope is lost ๐ฅฒ
I've never visited the site before so I just assumed it was just malicious, but as @zdanger said, it might be a hijacked legit site.
I do use uBlock. It also didn't 'feel' like an ad. I now expect the site was compromised as you suggested.
Thanks for that. I also didn't know about that shortcut until now. It will be very helpful ๐๐
I can't actually make it copy ๐ I've now also tried in Firefox and Chrome but it still hasn't worked.
Thanks, that's very interesting to know. I assumed it was just a malicious site before.

- I think it would be best if it isn't clickable
I've also noticed, it doesn't always come up but let me know if it does for you.
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.
