Well, I work for a laptop repair/warranty center - and we get this question all the time.

Home solution, no. Sorry

My solution, honestly, where you&#039;ll save the most time and effort, would just be to buy a new system board. They&#039;re a lot cheaper than you&#039;d think. When those A/C in jacks burn in, they can really vary in what they damage on the board. I&#039;ve seen ram get fried, processors get fried, everything. At the shop, we don&#039;t even worry about going through and test in them because the time we spend on the diagnosis, re soldering, whatever, would cost far more than a replacement system board. 

I apologize if that&#039;s not what you wanted to hear</description>

I don&#039;t have any idea where you would obtain a replacement mobo for a laptop. The best bet is to contact Samsung and see if they can help you out. Sounds like you have a major power issue! How did this occur? Surge, lighting? Invest in a good surge protector for this computer. If it is fried, talk to Samsung about options. I had an interest in building my own laptop, but I have no idea where to find cases, mobos for these computers.

There is no way to repair a motherboard.  From your description you have had a power problem and the motherboard may not be all that is gone on the computer.  Good luck.</description>

There are all sorts of computer parts on eBay.  Of course you run the risk of dealing with a scammer.  Still you may find your laptop with a smashed screen for cheaper than buying the part itself.  That way you&#039;d get all the parts for your laptop in case something else broke.</description>

Hi!
You could try fix it welding a similar power jack old motherboard. I can&#039;t guarantee you it will works, because most of the time several other components can be burned too, but you can try,</description>

Its not worth it! The motherboard is the most complicated part of the computer! You really shouldn&#039;t mess with the CPU! Notebooks aren&#039;t all that expensive these days, you are better off just buying a new one. I doubt this probelm is easily fixable! sorry!  ~Good Luck~</description>

If the motherboard is fried, you would have to get a like-for-like replacement.  Good luck!</description>
