Hello to all. I'm hoping someone here can help me. A friend of mine's father passed a couple of months ago and my friend gave me his father's laptop. It came from Falcon Northwest. It is mostly complete, but the power button and board are missing.
I contacted Falcon and they said they don't have any spare parts for this model. They said the closest matches to search for would be a Clevo P370 or a Sager NP9380. The only power button boards I can find on eBay and a couple of oddball parts suppliers have a 6-pin ribbon cable that goes to the motherboard. This matches what I found in the P370SM service manual I found online, but the only connection on the motherboard I can see labeled JPOWER1 on my laptop is 10-pin.
My question is whether anyone has knowledge of 2 different types (6 vs 10-pin) or if I'm missing something else. I can't verify a power button board part number with 10 pins because I have never seen one and I've spent DAYS searching the web. I also tried to contact Clevo support, but never got a reply.
Does anyone have any information that could help me get this machine running rather than wasting away as a pretty paperweight?
Thanks,
Greg

If you do a search for the service manual it will go into more detail on that bit looking back at old threads (too old for pictures to still be working)
