While using my gaming laptop, there was suddenly a strange sound, like a bang. At the same time, it also crashed and when it was restarted, three of the four USB ports and the internal microphone were inoperable. Except for this problem, the device works perfectly.
What kind of defect could this be?
An electrolytic capacitor could have exploded in the device, which was responsible for the power supply of the elements mentioned. If you want to screw yourself, you will quickly recognize the defective component, it is a standing cylinder and has a Y-shaped groove on the top, which looks torn in the case of the suspected error.
Many thanks for the answer.
