Schematic for the ASUS K42JR laptop, revision 2.0, as a 2.69 MB PDF. No motherboard code is given, so confirm the revision printed on the PCB matches 2.0 before relying on part numbers and values. With it you can trace power rails from the adapter onward, follow the power sequencing, check signals between major chips and locate the component causing a short. Any PDF viewer opens it, and searching for net names speeds up finding the right page.
