    BTW, so what DCV do you have right now at S, G, and D?
    With the charger disconnected:

    S = 0v
    G = 0v
    D = 0v

    Charger connected:

    S = 5v
    G = 4.29v
    D = 5v

    So this leaves me confused, if a P-channel mosfet turns on when it sees 0v at the gate, how is this transistor turning on with 4.29v at the gate? Is that just the 5v from USB charger that's being seen since r1710 keeps the gate grounded?

      Fixing the Charge Circuit of the Batteries of the DC Motor
      by Astonished
      Hi friends of electronics

      What you see in the video and pictures attached is the circuit for charging the batteries of a DC motor.

      The problem is that this circuit cannot charge the batteries (3 1800mAH NiMH batteries) any more. When the circuit was OK, its green LEDs lit up one at a time to show that the batteries have charged more. But now that the circuit is flawed, LEDs light up as you see in the video and at the same time successive beeps are heard.

      Please help me fix this circuit.

      Lenovo L490 Ram voltage circuit malfunction
      by rddube
      Hello friends,

      Looking for some guidance here. The RAM voltage circuit on this motherboard keeps burning out PU301 which is a RT8231AGQW. Copy of the board with the burnt chip attached with some voltage measurements and copy of the schematics also included.

      I think I've checked almost every component in the circuit, but when I change the RT8231, the laptop starts I have 1.2V on the inductor for about 10 seconds and then the RT8231 goes south and no more voltage on the inductor. All other voltages on the laptop are good, this is the only one conking out for a reason I...

      Short Circuit tester
      by Tarot Superstars
      Hello.
      I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
      The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.

      Asus X532FL 3.2V at source and gate
      by Lvsitano
      I am having some trouble with troubleshooting a Asus X532FL rev 2.0 motherboard, which does not power on. So at the first MOSFET, I am getting 19V at the drain, and then 3.2V on both gate and source (compared with ground). Of course, the 2nd MOSFET's source will have 3.2v at source.

      First MOSFET is a QM3056M6 and 2nd MOSFET is a QM0930M3

      I already checked first MOSFET and source and gate are not shorted (drain with source not shorted either). Also I have 1.7V at the LDO rail (measured at the keyboard connector, as the power button is on the keyboard).

      First...

      Help Understanding Discharging Circuit on Laptop Motherboard
      by Zentech
      Ok, I have an HP Pavilion G6 and I'm trying to understand the "Discharging" circuit on the motherboard DA0R53MB6E1 REV E R53. I'm going to link to the diagram here https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...3fee8687da.pdf
      Discharger circuit is on page 41. So PU12 is the driver for all the MOSFET, my question is when you plugin the charger and before you press the power button, are you expected to have power on the source of MOSFET? Let's take for example PQ55, which is suppose to have 3V on Source. But with power off, there's no 3VS5 on Drain, so no 3V on Source....
