Hi everyone,

I'm repairing an Huawei Matebook- MB ref : dah98dmb8b0 rev b , that had liquid damage (milk). I've identified a short on the 3.3V "Always-on" rail.

The culprit is the power IC: SY8286BRAC (Marking ABE).

Now, I tried to bring the monitor back to life, by plugging one of my many Dell laptop PSUs. They are of the same 19.5V, and the wattage of the laptop PSU is higher than that which the monitor is rated for. Visually, the socket on the monitor seems compatible, and the plug plugs...

Hello everyone.
