The severeity of my LOQ 15IAX9's situation
I posted a day ago on this sub about a POP sound while playing NMS. I took it to the unauthorised distributor where I bought the grey listed model from and their technician sent this picture to me. They are playing the "trying to fix" game, to finally quote me the price for a new MB. Can anyone identify the severity of the burn from the picture? Is it fixable? I am planning to turn down the offer for a new MB and take it to a soldering technician.
Tldr: A pop in the MB, burned through the MB. LOQ i5-12450HX.
