    OK so I purchased a broken m1330 with hopes of fixing it (I own m1530 and had no problem with it) When I connect charger to it light on the charger gous off. Laptop shows no signs of life when I press power button. I took the entrire laptop apart and looked over motherboard and see no broken components. How can I fix this motherboard? there has to be a bad component that gous an those boards after all some people repair/refurbish them.

    Also what motherboards would work on this laptop since I noticed there are several versions part numbers of them

    BTW my friend got it fixed in China.. They just changed a chip.. how amazing these Chinese can do.. They even gave him back the broken chip and a piece of drawing of the mobo.. ofcoz at a very cheap price compare to me swapping with an intel board :/
