find the schematics of the transistor, and then test each pin with a current to see if it passes the current through to it's matching pin. alternatively you could try it blindly, it would just take longer to find where each signal SHOULD go, then to figure out whether it's actually going there. it's usually the opposite pin, but you never know for sure and it can confuse things.

well the safer way would be to desolder it . you don't want to pass voltage through a trace you don't know about.

regardless of how your laptop is behaving, the individual components can still be tested. there is no guarantee it's the mosfet or the same issue from the link you posted, but you have to start testing somewhere right?

it's about no power, no lights...
Just when i plug the power supply on it, it's blinking orange led only...no contact.
So it's for me a power problem (around mosfet, or fuse). But i test with and without voltage, the fuse but nothing wrong !!! And now i test mosfet and also, nothing to tell you !! Just to tell you what i have to test please !

If you don't even know how to check a fuse, I'd say forget about fixing it. Give it to someone who knows what he's doing.
You're almost guaranteed to damage something and make the entire thing unfixable, even for a pro.

I've seen so many user-FUBAR'd electronics over the years it ain't funny anymore.
(cut traces, damaged vias, accidental shorts destroying tons of parts, ripped-off solder pads, ...)

I check with power on, my meter to 20v DC, put the black lead to ground on the board, and i put the red lead to one end of the fuse, then put red lead to other end of the fuse, i saw 15,38V on both ends of the fuse. For the fuse near of the power socket...first pic.

What do you think about this news ??

i know this sounds silly but have you tried it without the battery usually a blinking orange light is faulty battery.
