TURBOX notebook power supply fix

EN
That article is about mate`s notebook TURBOX which didn`t start. Simple device based on INTEL processor. As you can see from the pictures there are not so much “inwards” in that device. What I have is to check if it start on battery - NO. Power plug on place - nobody. To get access to the mainboard power points I have to remove the keyboard.

Dismantling is pretty straight: with small screw drive unlock all four locker pins upper from the number keys and carefully twist it to remove it cable. Then take measurements on the black and red cables - NO power even with charger.
- Few bolts on the main cover and bottom panel removed
- Rest of the cables and screws under the keyboard removed
- Plastic tool to unclip the back panel
- Mainboard removed, and left screen hinge unbolted as well
- Took put the power plug and.. as you can see the ground wire was loose

FIX: Solder it on place, isolate and fit all back. Job done
