Is there usually a service info for notebook motherboards?

Aug 23, 2017 4:36AM PDT

I have by my side one notebook Toshiba which is old. It`s plastic for the place where flat power cable(power button) is inserted is missing. I have the same model at home which is mine and have a plastic.

I really cannot understand the way of powering the piece which is here at work. It does power in one cable position but its very very hard to fix cable in this position.

If i give you model of the mobo can you provide me info between pin who and who it sends power signal to the motherboard?

Thanks in advance

Can be hard to obtain.

Such is held by the maker and rarely in the wild. If you need this you try google and then the maker for a "service manual." Today, board repair is done less and less but power jacks are done pretty much without service manuals as one is often like the next and the tech doesn't ask for the manual.

Google laptop power jack repair and you find it's common and in the US about 100USD at the places that do this a lot.
