Hi Chris G,
thanks for your reply. I did some more research and found out that the component is most probably a shunt resistor or maybe a simple resistor. So if only the resistor is fried chances are pretty good to replace it and repair the notebook. The resistor might be somehow related to the notebook’s current supply but that’s only a guess.
Does anybody know about the print on the component? Is anybody about to replace his SSD?
By the way I am still wondering how this could happen. Hardware virus? Stuxnet like conspiracy? Or the one damaged resistor in 1.000.000.000? I did not use my notebook heavily and i cannot recall any mechanical damage.
Best regards,
