Hi folks hope somebody can help!

Dell Alienware 15 LA-C912P REV2.0 laptop here that I have No history of. Don't know what previous has happened just dead no power at all.
The only thing I can find is what looks to be a burnt resistor? I cannot see the value, have attached the pic.
The laptop does not power at all, nothing. There is 19V at 1 side of the resistor, 0.89 at the other.
Any pointers would be amazing please!

Thank you and good health, Rick

Just thinking out loud here but the data sheet states:
---

VCC 28 Input supply from adapter or battery. Use 10-Ω resistor and 1-µF capacitor to ground as a low pass filter to limit inrush current. A diode OR is connected to VCC. It powers charger IC from input adapter and battery.
---

I can't find a schematic for the mainboard and so would it be fair to assume that the required replacement resistor should be 10-Ω going of the TA datasheet??
Thank you and please forgive my ignorance!

-Pin 28 vcc MUST GET 19V When you are in use for the AC adapter :
check impedance between vcc pin28 and the ground how much you get.
-PQ702 check impedance between pin 5 and the ground .

Thank you!
With no power to board I get 6.86k on pin 28 to ground
pq702...i'm not sure, counted up like charging a cap then went off?
Again both with no power to board

Thank you Admin -
I get 95.4 reading between pin 5 and ground when multimeter set to 200K.
(again no power to board)

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Admin.
I replaced PR707 - it was burnt and now get 19V good.
Checked pin 3 of PD700, 19v good.
Board still refuses to power :-(

Thank you, Rick

So... I just checked pin pin 6 acdet 2.57v on the chip side, 19.36v at the "other" side of the resistor PR716, This reads 247k - I beleve from much much googling that the value should be 324k?
Or I may be barking up the wrong tree!

Thank you Admin :)
