Hello reader (and hopefully solver),
Today my laptop refused to charge and I went looking for the cause. I hoped the adapter was broken, but it seems the powercable to the motherboard had a short circuit. I have provided pictures to show what I mean. My question is: Is it still salvagable? If yes, is it worth it costwise and how? Secondly, what could have caused it and how can I prevent this in the futures?
Thank you.

It is highly unlikely the motherboard survived that kind of trauma so the only fix I know would be to replace the motherboard.
This would be a rare event and was caused by a power surge. Not much you can do to prevent it other than maybe always plug the laptop into a UPS instead of directly to the wall outlet.
