Dell latitude 7480 - Repair Questions https://northridgefix.com/forum/repair/dell-latitude-7480/ NorthridgeFix Discussion Board en-US Sat, 15 Aug 2026 00:19:01 +0000 wpForo 60 Dell latitude 7480 https://northridgefix.com/forum/repair/dell-latitude-7480/#post-1916 Mon, 25 Nov 2024 19:32:20 +0000 Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to start looking on my laptop motherboard.

I have a short to ground on 3 caps beside the 2 USB ports on the same line but when I remove the ram card from the right hand side the short disappears but the laptop still won't turn on.

The laptop ended up like this when I plugged a usb cable with a transmitter attached to it with a 12 volt lipo attached because I was trying to update the firmware on the rc transmitter and the laptop died and never turned back on again.

No power completely dead 😭
