Hello, my acer laptop 4755 series shuts down its power adapter/charger. But the power adapter/charger is good. After unplugging and plugging to outlet, 19v is present. Upon inserting its dc plug to dc in of the laptop, adapter shuts down again, no 19v out put. Laptop seems shorted? Any idea is the what comp is the culprit? Can you give me schematic? 2 Mofets PU3802, Pu4001 is good. Isolate the HDD, DVD RoM, Memory still no luck. Help...Thanks in advance.

Short to ground on DC-in rail or B+ rail. Measure resistance to ground on PU3802 source and PU4001 source.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardView

Re: acer aspire 4755 shorted
Ok so there is indeed a short to ground on B+ (called AD+_TO_SYS on the schematics).
First remove CPU from the board, then to find the short you can inject 1V with lab PSU on PU4001 source.
Check if GPU or PCH die heat up first. If they don't, you can increase the voltage until you find the component that heats up.
If GPU/PCH heat up, stop injecting voltage, there's a shorted high-side MOSFET that supplies GPU/PCH.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardView

You need an adjustable power supply with constant current mode.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardView

Re: acer aspire 4755 shorted
@Papafi, piernov didnt said that there is short on high side fet's. He said if gpu/pch heats up, then thre is likely short on those high side fets. So in your case the short can be anywhere on +19V rail.
Check all the fets in diode mode. If pin1 and 4 shows short very likely that fet is bad. If all fets are ok , then you need to remove caps which are showing short one by one unless the short goes. This way it will take a little longer but can be done. You only need a hot air gun and soldering iron as long as you have the skill to do it.

Re: acer aspire 4755 shorted
Hello @mcplslg123, yes but think i wasnt lucky enough to find out which cap haha. Lots of caps was in short as i beeped, but still its not the one. in your expert opinion, which cap you will removed first for starter... i dont want my mb exposed more to heat station.
May be you can guess it which cap. thanks...

if it is shorted to any of the PL
remove upper mosfet of that PL Rail and try again if the resistance seems normal
