So sitting in the office as normal and one of the guys from another department comes up with his home laptop and asks us to take a look at it as its not powering on. Low and behold no power, then for some reason we take a sniff through the vents and can tell right away something has blown and upon further inspection can see the Mainboard is damage.

So was wondering if anyone knows of any companies where we could get spares (replacement Mainboard to start with). I think its going to cost about £200 delivered to get a new board for this and then I would advise a new laptop. Details below;

Packard Bell Easynote H5535 (Pentium 4)

Can anyone help?

i think it will be easy to repair it.. can you post the photos of damage?
