    I don't know what it is, some power component.

    But even if you find out, what are you planning to do? Replace it yourself, or have it replaced? Either way, it's an unreliable solution, I would recommend instead a new motherboard.

    What did you do when it burned? Did you have any high-powered devices (like a soldering gun, for instance) plugged on the same power line?

    Hi,
    thanx for reply.
    I hope that with a little patience i can change it.
    I'm not a tech guru but i know how to use a welder.
    I think that this can be appened due to a fault univesal power supply, i lost my original one's and have to buy this.
    The price of a new motherboard it's about 350€. Really too much.
    Best regard,
    Daniele

    Hmm the components don't look too complicated indeed, nothing like SMDs :) so a bit of soldering might do the job. I'm not good at electronics so there's no way I can identify them by how they look, but maybe somebody can -- even so you would need exact parameters for them... A schematic of the mainboard would help quite a lot, but I don't see where you could get one.

    Yep, a new motherboard is not cheap.
