Seeking Assistance: Help Identify Potential Damage on My Asus Vivobook S15

I hope this post finds you well. About six months ago, I purchased an Asus Vivobook S15 (model M5506UA), which has served me wonderfully—until last night. While I was using it, I suddenly heard a pop sound, followed by an acrid burnt smell. My immediate suspicion is that a capacitor might have blown.

Curious and concerned, I decided to take a closer look by opening up the device. However, I was unable to spot any visible damage on the motherboard or surrounding components.

I’m reaching out to the community for help here. If you have experience with hardware issues or can lend some expertise, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

To assist with troubleshooting, I’ve attached a reference image I found online, as well as pictures of my own motherboard for comparison. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to look for or how to diagnose the problem would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance for your support!
