could it be your fl inverter?

Fl inverter? well i turned it on and saw that there is no power to my rectifier F7832 on the source input.....not sure where to look.
gate = 5v.....source= 0.0v......drain = 0.97v the 8-pin ic is next to the cap that blew up,but all ready replaced the cap.

press fn button and lcd on the keyboard you should get it back to default

If you face any kind of problem then there is a simple method that set the settings to the default.

Can you give process how it starts and how it ends?
Booting from where to Black screen?
