Have an Insyde motherboard with a burned charger.
Part of the middle pin of the 280 Watt charger has vaporized.
A diode on the motherboard near the charge port was at one time replaced by someone with a non-matching diode.
I can tell it is not an exact replacement because it is larger than the space allotted.
I’m told that it did work for a while though.
Motherboard : Insyde H2O GC54 P/N 6-77-NP70SNC0-D02-1A#10
Markings on the replacement diode : 249 B14
My questions:
- Is it possible that the replacement diode did not adequately protect the charger and caused it to burn?
- Is there a way to determine an suitable replacement diode without schematics and without the diode the board came with?
