Re: Compaq laptop motherboard problem

Purchase a used one off E'Bay or from a Computer Show and swap the M/B or
just replace the 3 year old device completely. Probably never get the part #
from Compaq for the diode: unless you have another M/B to swap the device
from, hoping that other components are not also damaged.
