Losing or damaging the power brick is common. Ensure any replacement outputs with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm center-positive barrel plug.

Visual inspection: look for bulging/leaking capacitors, burnt components, cracked connectors, or lifted solder joints.
Power checks: measure voltage rails to confirm regulators and buck converters output expected voltages.
Continuity and shorts: use a multimeter to test for shorted MOSFETs, diodes, or traces.
Signal checks: probe clocks and data lines for activity; missing signals often point to controller or oscillator failures.
Swap testing: where feasible, replace suspicious components with known-good equivalents (only for compatible parts).
