Hi,

My daughter took the back off her laptop to clean the fans out. When reassembling she crushed 2 wires (a black and a white) which look like they are coming from the monitor and going to a chip labelled killer 1650i.

The laptop is now not turning on. Is there something that may have tripped that can be reset or is something probably fried?

I have disconnected the wires hoping it might turn on but nothing.

Can you post a picture of the wires and where they lead?

They go to the two terminals labelled main and aux on this chip. From there It looks like they go through the back and into the monitor side of the laptop

that is the wireless module, giving you access to wifi networks.
it also provides your Bluetooth capability as well.

simply having those two cables disconnected, which are the antennas, would not prevent the laptop from starting.
at worst, you'll just have really crappy wifi signal - probably zero unless you were right next to the transmitter.

something else must of happened during cleaning - another cable dislodged, or static electricity fried a component, or a memory module not seated correctly, to name some obvious examples.
