    Asus X54H No power, blown cap!

    Hello all,
    I recently bought an Asus X54H laptop that had a damaged power port (common problem with this laptop) thinking that I would replace the power port and it would work fine.

    After taking it apart I noticed that there had already been an attempted repair on the power port and that it was a horrible job at that.



    Anyhow by putting a little pressure on the power port I was able to get power to the motherboard but it was still not powering up, no lights, nothing.

    I then noticed that there was a blown cap.



    Hoping to find out what it was I googled "PJP8800" and found the schematics for another Asus laptop motherboard where PJP8800 was under the charger section.



    Not really understanding block diagrams and schematics this does not really mean a whole lot to me but obviously it is to do with the battery charging circuit.

    So would this cap prevent the laptop from powering up or is there likely to be something else wrong with the mobo? what it is the cap that needs replacing?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

      judging by the top side... i really think its pretty close to unrepairable, theres solder everywhere! unless you have an awful lot of time and the schematics im not sure it'll work

      and i think that was more like a clothes iron... i mean even with a blowtorch you wouldnt do that bad...

        Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
        by GLISIT
        Hi all,

        TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


        I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

        A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        by Tynan Dill
        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

        Assuming...

        Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
        by PantherDave
        Hi all!

        I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

        I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

        ASUS TUF X570-PLUS doesn't power on: no VRM_EN signal.
        by ShadowAi
        Hello, I have an issue with the motherboard. Specifically, it doesn't power on, more precisely, the POST initialization doesn't occur.

        Let me start from the beginning, the motherboard suddenly stopped working one day. There are no beep signals from the speaker, and the debug LEDs are not lighting up. After inspecting it under a microscope and using thermal imaging, I didn't find anything that could be damaged.

        After that, I began voltage measurements, in which I noticed the absence of VDDQ, VDDP, VTT, and VPP lines. Later, I checked if there is an EN state on these lines,...
