hey guys who what is the value of these two circled circuit.jpg smd components in hp elitebook 8460p

That is an odd question.

 

Surface mounted devices like the resistor and capacitor you circled have relatively low value in comparison to the devices that they facilitate the operation of.

 

Value is a relative thing.  What costs mere pennies in the first world may cost far more in other regions of the world.  If the smd component failed and smoked the processor or memory module, I would say that their value would almost be that of the system board. Those components by themselves are worth just pennies jn US currency.

the thing is that i may have removed them accidentally by scratching unknowingly, now the laptop wont start, it just flashes the all the onboard lights and the fan rotates loudly.

the value I'm asking about is the rating in ter4ms of resistance and capacitance so that i can replace them

 

HP Recommended

I would have to see a close up of the top of the devices so I can identify them. There are numbers and letters on the top of each.

 

You do know that they are SMD types, right?

 

You will need to use a hot air station to remove and install them without damaging the system board.

no there are no numbers on top, just blank, but one is a resistor the other is a capacitor

HP Recommended

That does not make it easy. Normally they have tiny letters and numbers on them.

 

In that case you will need to use an accurate multimeter to measure the resistance after removing it from the system board.

 

You will have to do the same with the capacitor after discharging it.

 

If they are already damaged and can't be measured, you have a big problem

yeah im aware of that, thats why i posted so that anyone with a similarlaptop can measure and assist me with the values

 

HP Recommended

OK.

 

Chances of that are pretty slim, but I wish you luck. Next time you might consider giving the exact reason as that was not clear.

 

You could take the system board to a shop that does component level repairs. They might help you out for a small fee. The shops actually have access to  schematics.
