Hi everybody,
I have seen this forum helped a lot someone with an Asus laptop and the same problems as I have, so I think I should ask you some help.
I've got an Asus laptop R511LJ, my cats made it fall while it was plugged in and the adapter broke in the connector leaving a small metal part stuck in it. After I removed it I tried to power on the laptop and it worked until the battery was fully discharged. Since then, it's not charging anymore, and the power led is off. So I disassembled it and I tried to remove the battery and just plug the adapter (another one, not the one that is broken), no reaction.
I thought, maybe with the metal part stuck in the connector some short circuit could have fried a component so I've tested everyone on the motherboard and I think I might have found the area : With a multimeter I get a 7 Ohms resistance between each + and the ground. But it's a large area and I'm not sure a 7 Ohms resistance could be considered as a short circuit.
I've got a ~750 mV voltage on the + of the battery connector, i think it should be higher to charge the battery so I ordered a new power IC (BQ24735) but before I replace it I want to be sure the problem doesn't come from a short circuit elsewhere on the motherboard.
These are the links to the pictures of my motherboard (top and bottom) with the area plotted in red :

The full motherboard replacement part is 599€ so I want to try to repair it, and I think it's a good training !
Thank you in advance for your help !
