Good day please I need help urgently. I removed the transformer on my charger and plugged it directly to light and the laptop went poof. I know I may receive insult for this but what I need now is help. What can I do. Please hope the internal components of the laptop won't get destroyed. The battery is inbuilt and the name is HP *360. Please help me

I assume the internal components are fried by the excessive electrical current.

You need to remove the excess current. I suggest you take a cold bath while sitting on the laptop. This will probably not fix it. But, then you will know with 100% positivity that the laptop is DEAD.

Do you have a high reliability soldering station, a test rig, and a schematic to confirm the test Points?

Not really familiar with schematics, or high reliability soldering and the best practices associated with such?

No?

Then nothing!
