    Good to have someone that actually found the cause of the problem, befroe removing the diode, can you check to see if they are shorted out, may be that is why you are reading 50 Ohms at the VCC pin.

        I already removed one bud, but they were giving suspicious readings. I can't remember the reading on the one that was cracked but it was reading the same in both directions and the other remaining one was reading 50 ohm both ways.

        I wasn't really sure if those readings were any good in circuit but they seemed suspicious. That's right about the time I saw the other post and then I REALLY looked closely and saw what appeared to be a crack.

        Edit: I will be sure to take more readings after replacement, including VCC pin and post results.

            I am sure now that the 50 Ohms reading is no longer there, more likey that 18V zener is bad.

                Marty, sent you a PM. I have a diode bad in the same area and trying to identify it.

                    Sorry, I never did get this fixed. I still have it sitting here and would LIKE to fix it

                        So it wasn't just the cracked diode on yours? I didn't notice the crack at first but started pushing on connections and noticed the backlight came on and cap stopped buzzing when I pushed on the end of the diode in my piC. I then felt the crack in the diode with the probe of my multimeter. I seemed to have been able to bend the solder/connection enough now to put more pressure on it and keep the backlight on for now but I just ordered these diodes as they seem to look identical and be the closest match to the factory.

                            Just following up on this thread. I just picked up the same model FLM-3232 with same problem...red light goes blue when powered on but no other actions. Did anyone determine the fault? All my diodes seem fine, no cracks, readings ok.

                                Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
                                by Nagy Daniel
                                Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

                                I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

                                I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

                                So, I generated a table with AI so I can...

                                Gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 dead short 3.3v rail to ground.
                                by JimMc0
                                Hi there,

                                I discovered this forum through a youtuber who teaches electronic repair. I've been trying to troubleshoot my dad's old PC which is a Gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 and will not power on. I discovered a dead short on the 3.3v rail at the ATX connector so I used a bench power supply to feed 3.3v into the ATX connector and sunk about 400mA into the board (I hope that's not too much!). I used a FLIR camera to identify the problem area:



                                The chip seems to be the following, an ITE IT8892E 1108-CXS which seems to be a PCI bridge?

                                Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)

                                Hello everyone,

                                I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

                                Well, my decice specs are the following:

                                Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
                                CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
                                GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
                                Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

                                The symptom:
                                When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

                                Asus UX433FAC - batery dead after short on VIN rail
                                by ktmmotocross
                                Hello.
                                Have this Asus UX433FAC that came with shorted mosfet on main power rail. After replace laptop works ok, but battery is dead. Laptop show charging but voltage on battery is 0.2V. when remove battery voltage on battery connector goes to 8.5V, but when connect battery again it goes down to 0.2V.

                                can that short shorted battery? batmon show that battery is full at 80%

                                3) Backlights do not illuminate, voltages associated with backlights on Power Supply are not present
                                4) "Power on" terminal on Power Supply has 3.26v
                                5) "A13V" terminals have 12.9v
                                6) Stand-by test jumper on Power Supply has 12.9V
                                7) Optical audio jack on Main Board illuminates
