So, I inserted a sdcard reader in the USB 3 port and tried to boot up. The laptop fan started to run very fast with nothing on the screen. I waited for like 3-4 minutes before shutting down the laptop by hard pressing the power button. Laptop hasn't started since. Even no light on the power adapter side.
I opened the laptop and also found a burnt ribbon connecting from motherboard to the touch pad.
To me it seems that the motherboard is burned-out.
Any advice how I can further check or a store recommendation from where to buy a motherboard from.
