Hi everyone,
I've been trying to revive my 2015 Dell XPS 13 (9343). So far I've been able to locate a short to ground on the 1.35v power rail on the system side.
After doing a bit of research online I came across Louis Rossman's videos on finding short circuits where he applied an expected voltage to the power rail and then feels around the board to see which component gets hot.
Unfortunately, the board only takes around 0.8 amps at 1.35 volts. Ultimately, 1.35 volts at 0.8 amps isn't enough to make the component hot, and I'm hesitant to crank it up further and apply a voltage higher than what the rail is rated for.
Any thoughts? I appreciate any help you guys are able to offer!
