I have a post in this forum regarding a derad Lenovo Z710 motherboard
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3024253/lenovo-ideapad-710-power-leds-rewiring-faulty-power-cable.html
I have not had any replies to that post.
It appears that the problem is in the power or startup circuit as there is 20v on some locations on the board but no sign of life and no LEDs light at all, no fan etc.
I suspect it may be simply a fuse.
The problem occurred when my cat pulled the power cord out while it was running.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I can locate or identify what surface mount components are fuses so I can try jumping them.
Also if anyone has any troubleshooting tips for that mobo that wold be great.
Or- tips on where to get a replacement at a decent price.
