I've read the manga a couple years ago and i've always been following the anime. I am considering starting the light novel at around where the anime/manga have progressed and im wondering how faithful the story has been to know if there's any important information added/removed.
I am afraid that the motherboard might have been fried in some manner on my laptop and i've been afraid of the repair costs. When the power cord is plugged in (even if i have the battery/ram/ssd removed) i can hear a faint ticking or clicking sound somewhere in the area of the red circle. When it broke I was using my laptop and it just instantly died without turning back on, and whenever i try to use the power button it does absolutely nothing (no lights or sounds).
Anyone have an idea on what type of issue I may be having? I have low expectations where I may just sell the ram for like $50, remove the hdd's, and give it away for parts or something before buying a new pc.
