Who the heck is Stephan Kramer?
I've been asked to take a look at a dead laptop, an acer Aspire e17.
According to the user it abruptly stopped working when she did a 180 with it on the table, for another person to look at the screen.
The power cable wasn't connected at the time. It's 2 - 3 years old and looks like new.
When powered up the fan fully ramps up for a second as per usual. After a moment of quiet it comes back and stays at max RPM.
There's no beep code and no display.
I opened it up to check for loose connectors, water damage or any other obvious stuff. At least from the top of the PCB I couldn't make out anything. It's shiny and very clean.
I'm looking for ideas on what to check when I get back to it on monday. Then I'll probably remove the board and look at the underside.
