    Dell E173FPf fixed

    This Dell E173FPf had no power at all.
    I checked the output of the power supply, no voltage. The output rectifier diode was found shorted.
    I replaced it with MBRF10H100CT but it still had no power. The SMPS controller wasn't turning on. The VCC voltage of the controller was stuck at 5.6V so it was too low.
    I replaced the startup capacitor, made no changes.
    I then replaced the controller SG6841SZ itself and sure enough, it worked. VCC of the controller is now at 15.8V.

    Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
    by Bowline
    My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

    Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

    My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
    The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
    I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

    Seeking Dell G15 Motherboard ICs for Embedded LED Controller (UEL1 and UEL2)
    by NotEnough
    Hello everyone,




    I'm working on a repair for my Dell G15 motherboard (model GDL5L) and need two specific ICs to restore the functionality of the Embedded LED Controller (ELC). The missing components are labeled as UEL1 and UEL2 in the schematic, and they're both critical for LED control and system signaling. Here are the details:




    1. UEL1

    • Part Number: SA0000AWJ70

    • Model: STM32F070CBT6TR_LQFP48_7X7

    • Function: This microcontroller manages system signaling, power management, and SPI...

    Any info on PWB-C847 touch controller board (Dell 5289)?
    by jtomes123
    Hey guys, i’ve bought a screen from Dell 7280 with a usb touch controller, but I have received one from Dell 5289. This one uses the Wacom PWB-C847 (pic below) , I am looking to gather as much info as possible before I start poking at it.

    What I found so far is that it uses I2C-HID and USB for communication and those should be available through the testpoints on the board.

    Goal is to get the screen working with my Framework 13 motherboard through eDP (that part is relatively easy). And get touch and pen support, in order to build a nice and powerful tablet.

    Dell U2718Q MStar controller overheating
    by AquaSonic
    Hello to the forum!

    I am currently troubleshooting the Dell U2718Q monitor, which will work perfectly until it randomly shuts down and after a number of minutes will power on and work again, until it randomly (but quicker) shuts down again.

    After some investigating i came to the conclusion that this is due to the Mstar MST9U37Q1 controller overheating, causing the monitor to shut down. When the controller is cool enough it will start working again. The power supply voltages at all times seem normal, nothing else feels hot on the board and by using a hair drier to...

    I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:

    If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

    When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

    The power/battery...
