Hello everybody, I opened my Notebook Asus KV550VX to replace my old keyboard since it wasn’t working properly due to a mistake of mine (I accidentally spilled coffee on my Notebook). So after replacing it, I closed my Notebook and connected every ribbon cable properly but then I got a bad surprise! My Notebook did not turn not. I tried to buy a new ribbon cable for the power button but I wasn’t able to sort out this problem since even with the new cable the PC doesn’t turn on. As a result when I press the power button I get some lights on for an istance but nothing works. I can’t even hear the CPU working. I took a picture of my motherboard ribbon cable clip and started wondering about the situation. I noticed some pins look like they are damaged and maybe this is the real reason why the Notebook does not turn on. What do you think about it? I don’t know what else could be. I can’t figure out what the real issue could be if not the motherboard pins (maybe burnt by the coffee). Thanks to all who will reply Greetings
@sicario98 , Your image shows corrosion or burn marks or maybe it’s even coffee but whatever, you need to gently clean it away using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores) and a soft brush to get a clear view of any possible damage and also to remove any possible unwanted electrical connections that may be still present. Here’s a link that may be of some help regarding liquid damage Electronics Water Damage After that if it still doesn’t turn on it will be down to testing the individual components in the area of the suspected damage. This will be very difficult without a schematic of the motherboard. You could try searching online for the schematic by searching for (insert motherboard’s board number) schematic and hope for a result. Other than that you may have to contact an authorized Asus laptop repair service and ask for a quote to repair the laptop. I say authorized as they should have access to the schematics. A lot of manufacturers, understandably, do not release this type of information publicly.
