CAD-format boardview for the Dell Inspiron 3521, a Compal design carrying board number LA-9104P. LA- codes belong to Compal's numbering and are printed on the PCB, so check them, and the revision, before probing. Viewers such as OpenBoardView and FlexBV open CAD files and show part outlines, pins and nets on both sides. Use it with the schematic to trace a dead rail, find the component behind a short or locate test points around the charger and CPU power stages.
