    We are talking about Laptop mainboards with SMD parts right? Mad props for trying to replace a SMD fuse with a soldering iron.

      He knew enough to know there was a fuse, but not enough to know which one it was or that most modern parts don’t use BGA (edit: “most”. There are still some on the market, I think?). It was a spectacular mess.

        BGA would be even more trouble to manually manipulate. I kinda want to see a picture now of the repair attempt… :D
