Hi, I have Asus k501lx laptop. I got a problem with my motherboard when I was Installing my screen cable i accidentally touched a chip in the motherboard and it sparked and after it sparked the screen the fans the keyboard all stoped working ,but the ac light is on and the CPU is getting hot but still the screen and the fans aren’t working .. ( I tried an external monitor didn’t work, I removed the ram didn’t work) .

( I’m not sure if this chip caused all these problems ,but if it the chip will I be able to fix it ?? )

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that you can repair the "chip". Definately burned and needs to be replaced.

Plus the sparking may have caused other less visiable or invisiable damage elsewhere.

It is difficult to troubleshoot small components even if you can get the specifications and replacement parts thereafter.

Most likely professional repair will be needed. Do not be surprised if the entire motherboard must be replaced.

Do pull the hard drive out and see if the data is recoverable. Be careful as anything you do may cause more damage and loss of data.
