From the picture I saw in the service manual there is no connector, plug, etc. in that location. Possibly on the other side of the MB. But that looks like a stripped back wire as if a repair connection of some type were attempted. I also don't think it came in contact with a hot IC chip but whose to say. Possibly a repair tech is needed.
I opened up the laptop for the first time, hoping to upgrade the NVME and noticed this. Is this normal at the fan connector?  If not, what is it?  It's still under warranty. Thanks! [IMAGE]
What is this in the laptop?
