Hp Pavilion ze1110 Motherboard Fuse

[Gary]

I have an HP laptop that was given to me that would not power up. After
opening the unit I noticed the power connector was broken (common failure
for HP & Compaq). I replaced the connector and the unit will still not
power on. I've searched the board for a fuse but haven't located one yet.
Does anyone know what the fuse is labelled on this unit. Here is the only
information I was able to get from the motherboard.

Thanks, GLW

Well it's a laptop, so there may be only one board. Certainly older

laptops I've looked at had the power supply as part of the motherboard.

But even on home motherboards, there can be fuses. Most likely in
series with voltage going to connectors. So there is often a fuse
(I don't know if this still holds true) in series with the +5V line
to the keyboard connector. With USB, I suspect there may be a fuse
or two, since it too brings out the +5V line.

In those cases, though, it's kind of odd. The fuse is there to
protect the motherboard, but given that the fuses are soldered in place,
in most cases I imagine the whole motherboard gets trashed if the
fuse blows. So the fuse doesn't really save anything.
