Hi

After laptop was returned from a (questionable) lab, it stopped charging & crashes after a minute of use.
Red light is blinking, and the laptop WON'T run on AC power (even if i remove the battery)

I've identified that they have "crushed" this thingy "J9601"

1) what is this thingy "J9601" ?
2) can this Thingy be the cause of the power issue? (also battery indicator is constantly blinking) ?

How it supposed to look: LINK

How it actually looks: LINK

Thanks so much! really need your help.

It looks like a bit of foil to earth the motherboard to the frame possibly.
The wiring connector to the left of that doesn't appear to be in correctly either.
