    Hi guys I´m new in here and this is my first post

    Well, i´m writing here because i have a problem with my razer blade and maybe you guys can help me.
    Few days ago i was trying to change my blade´s lcd and unfortunately i did something wrong when i connected the cables and two components of the motherboard was burned :( now the blade turns on but only work with an external display... one of this components is a ferrite bead and the other one is a chip, maybe a modulator I know how to change them and i have the tools to do the job, but i can´t read the chip letters (hope that someone can help me with this) on the top because it is burned, and for the ferrite bead i don´t know which value it has (maybe its ohms can be measured).

    I write to a lot of people and even with razer (obviusly they tell me to send the blade to them) and nothing.

    I put two pictures here of the components:

    Ferrite bead (tagged as FB31?):

    Modulator? (tagged as U105):

    Can you read any of the numbers on the chips? A little alcohol with Q-tips might help clean them off. Even if you can only read partially, then see what you find on a website like Digikey or Newark. Otherwise I guess someone needs to open things up and read em off for you.

    Yeah, i clean it with alcohol and i see that i has two lines of numbers, but i can only read the end (i can see 255 in one and 3CH on the other) and i don't find anything similar with this chip on the pages that you said to me but thank you.
