Hello

My Helios 300 PH315-51-78NP .

doesn't powerup sometimes.. I thought it maybe the plugin input isn't installed correctly ( unstable) maybe I'm wrong I don't know.. there's nothing wrong with the adapter..

I opened the back case and check it out..

I can't boot it ( the orange light) doesn't light I think it doesn't charge but I don't know why

    Does the charger light on the brick turn on? From memory i think there was a little blue light on mine, if not, can you hear the coil whine / a bit of heat (to make sure its no the adapter rather than the laptop)

    The DC in is just above the MB which has been circled, but it looks OK. It may be worth taking a shot of the board to see if there are any blown Caps arund the power delivery, but it is dual sided so its luck if one has blown and its on the top
