Asus K555U taking extra current

[caspian]

I fixed the problem and now the colors are correct. The problem was bridge between the soldered pins of the resistor arrays....

This week, I have received a Dell n5010 and I have converted it into Intel Graphics.

After conversion, it gives picture , but the colors are different.
For example, at boot time, the background of the screen should be black and the text should be white, similar to the DOS environment. However, the background is red and the text is white in this laptop.
The other colors are different in Windows too.

I have inspected all the soldered pins and the conversion quality seems good.
the VGA port is not soldered and does not work.
After conversion, the...

To convert Asus x550LD rev.2 Dis to uma, only one resistor (marked in the photo) needs to change as below:
1. Disconnect Pin2 of that resister from its underneath pad.
2. Rotate that resistor such that Pin1 stays on its underneath pad and Pin2 connects to GND using a wire....

OK, thank you
Your answer makes sense according to the symptoms that I observed....

[caspian]

the extra current is taken by pure mainboard without battery, screen, and other peripherals connected.
However, if I connect battery or peripherals, the drawn current is increased.
HWInfo shows that CPU is taking between 1A to 8A of current. with a typical current of 4A.
The maximum current is taken when Windows is loading.
I do not know what takes this extra current.

Dear Members,
This laptop used to work with a 19v 3.4A adapter.
After 4 years of using it, now, the adapter's output voltage drops to 17v when windows loads up. Then the laptop suddenly turns off.
Today, I have connected a 19.8v 4.5A adapter to this laptop. Then the adapter's output voltage dropped to 19.4v but the laptop worked fine.
In addition, I noticed that the cpu power coils get warm to about 50'C but the mosfets are cool.
All the voltage rails on the mainboard are fine without any reduction except for the 19v rail. All the ICs and coils on the mainboard are...

Dear members,

I have an HP Elitebook 2540P laptop with mainboard: LA-5251P REV 1.0
It has a SIO with model: SMSC KBC1098
I think both the EC firmware and the main Bios reside in a single Bios chip.
Problem: KBC1098 is partially defective so that it does not generate ADP_En at Pin 75 and generates 8 amber blinks on the charging LED, indicating some wrong input.

Idea: Now I need to modify the EC firmware so that KBC1098 ignores the wrong input conditions and always generates a high ADP_En and does not enter a failure state.

Is it possible...

Dear members,

I have a linear Desk variable power supply that has an old Russian Transistor with model KT808AM. It cannot be found any more.
Is it right if I replace KT808AM by 2SD867 ?
Are these two transistors fully compatible according to their specifications and properties?

Regards

Re: asus gl502vsk no +vccore

Probably, the CPU and PCH are fine and the problem is somewhere in the CPU VRM circuit.

Re: Acer 5750G P5WE0 LA-6901P images only on external screen

Are the resistance relative to GND?
It is strange that both the pads are shorted.

[caspian]

Re: Acer images only on external screen

first remove R1 and measure resistance on each pad of it.
Moving R1 to R3 probably has no danger and probably does not solve the problem.
Does this laptop have a dedicated GPU chip?

Re: acer 5738g bios

If anyone has more Bios dumps for this mainboard, please upload it:

Acer 5738

Mainboard model:

Re: acer 5738g bios

I have another bios dump for this laptop but it does not work in my laptop. However, it is probably good....

Re: Acer 5738 SIO replacement

I tried two different ICs, W25Q16BVSIG and MX25L1606 with a known good dump, but they all resulted in turning on but no display.
The original Bios IC was MX25L1605D.

[caspian]

Re: Acer 5738 SIO replacement

the chipset is GM45.
SIO is WPCE773.
I replaced MX25L1605D by MX25L1606. But it did not work. Laptop turns on but no display.
Is it possible that the Bios is programmed somehow to work only with MX25L1605D in Acer 5738?

Re: ThinkPad X270 doesn't start anymore

yes, probably.
Now you should trace signals according to the following thread:

Re: Lenovo Yoga 500-15IBD-80N6 screen problem

So the cable is probably fine.

Re: Lenovo Yoga 500-15IBD-80N6 screen problem

If there is a local screen shop, you can take the disassembled laptop there and ask them to test a compatible screen on the laptop. then buy it of it worked.
Does the display get normal at some point if you slowly move the lid up or down or if you move the screen cable?
