Does your laptop battery charge only when the laptop is turned off? Click here to view the solution

Good day,

So I made a huge mistake, I was trying to program an Arduino Uno to control an AC light dimmer with an opto triac protection circuit, but there was a short and the 230VAC went through my corcuit, through my arduino and into the usb port of the laptop. The laptop switched of immediately as well as the trip switch on the plugs.

 

Anyhow, now my laptop won’t turn on. I keep getting a black screen with only the power button blinking. I did the force shut down. I did leave it for 12 hours  to let the battery run dead and the I plugged it in agaim, that didn’t work.

 

I aslo opened up and removed the battery as well as check the RAMs.

 

I’m currently stuck and out of ideas and would appreciate any help, as I’m an computer engineering student that kind of needs a working laptop.

 

Thank you in advance.
