not sure where to put this as its motherboard / small form related :confused:

have got a laptop that turns on and fans spin up but nothing else.

took it apart and found a component broken, does anybody know what this component does and can i get them from anywhere easily?

its the square thing on the left (technical detail

)

thanks very much

my mum worked in the electronics business until she retired last month so may ask her if she can get someone at her work to replace it.

i presume that is why the laptop is not booting up????
