Hi everyone
Im here because my laptop stopped working a few days ago. I was calibrating a 3d printer from my pc which was very tedious as i had to keep restarting the print in order to calibrate the bed and soon after the program stopped responding. The motors were not running nor was the hotend heating up. Several times ive had to force that program to exit because ''program [was] not responding" so i dont know if that had something to do with it. A moment later I found out my 3d printer plug had come off of a loose outlet and without thought i reconnected it while the 3d printer was still connected to the pc (the 3d printer had been recieving commands throughout this time).
Now my pc wont turn on but when i power it on i can hear the fan as if it were gonna turn on but it immediatly dies out. Then the caps lock flashes slow 5 times and fast 3 times.
I went through the process of troubleshooting it with the help of the virtual assistant which was an enormous help. The process landed me on section 5.3 which has to do with a system board falure. Then it has other information that i just dont know what to do with:
"The embeded controller has timed out waiting for the BIOS. Component is not reachable by BIOS in certain time limit.
1. Reseat component.
2.Test known good component.
3.Replace component or system board as needed."
What is the embeded controller its refering to and which is the system board?
Sorry about the extensiveness of the post. I didnt want to leave any details out.
Thanks in advanced.
