    Dell 1800 Issues

    Hi. I've got a Del 1800 FP that won't even show a power LED on the front panel.
    I read +5.98 and +13.67 out of the power supply. The +13 varies around a lot,
    so I'll get a scope on it and see what I can see.

    All caps look "non puffy".

    My main logic board looks different than the ones people have posted about
    in the past, so I'll keep looking around and see what I can find.

      Moved from the new member intro thread.

      ----

      anyway, looks like you have a PSU issue, since there is no 13v rail. there is a 12v rail, so 13.67 is pretty high (unless you meant 12.67).

      voltage fluctuations are not so much of an isssue, its the ripple.

      caps don't look bloated? what brand? if they say KZJ (or the other bad ucc series, which I can't recall at the moment) on them, then bloated means nothing, as they often dry out w/o bloating.

      last uploading some pics of the board and psu guts would be very helpful.

          Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
          by Bowline
          My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

          Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

          My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
          The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
          I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

          Dell 3100 Chromebook Power issues
          by JKetcham
          Hello, wanting to see if anyone has any experience with Dell 3100 Chromebook's and might have some input on an issue I've been seeing with them.

          I work in Technology for a good size school district, and we've began to switch away from Lenovo Chromebooks over to Dell 3100. I like the Dell 3100's because they seem to be more durable than the Lenovo N22's, N23's and 100e's we've used in the past.. but my main complaint with them is they randomly won't turn on.

          Currently, in my building I have about 200 students using the Dell 3100's and daily I have a rash of students...

          Dell XPS 15 7590 - Part 2 - USB power issues
          by coputerdiscount
          So back on my first post I had a water damaged Dell XPS 7590 which I was able to repair:
          Dell XPS 15 7590 - Powers via USB-C but not AC (missing PS_ID?) - Badcaps

          Which leans me into a new problem I wanted to start a new thread with.

          This machine now has issues powering or taking power (usb-c/lightning) via its USB ports.

          Symptoms: When a dock is attached, it tends to short out devices attached and does not function, when using a USB A port elsewhere on the laptop, they notify windows of a surge and tend to power cycle the attached device.

          Dell 7280 Power Issues (LA-E122P)
          by reid
          Hi, this is my first new thread and I am hoping to get some assistance troubleshooting a Dell Latitude 7280 (LA-E122P). I have fixed a few MacBook logic boards before, but I'm not familiar with Dell boards or schematics, so I don't really know what things are important to know or check first.

          When I first got the laptop, it would not turn on. I'd plug it in and press the power button, the power LED would come on for a second and then turn off and the laptop wouldn't do anything. This was fixed by flashing the UC5 EEPROM, so I don't think there was any hardware issues when I first...
