    Motherboard schematic or Boardview of Dell XPS 420

    Unfortunately have an issue with the main power switch which I have traced the issue down to the motherboard! I know it's a long shot as motherboard manuals from Dell are hard to come by. I can turn it on using the bios options when mains power is applied to the PC after the mains power has been removed for a while.
    The only markings on the motherboard are CN-0TP406 and underneath 316764300010 LF-PCB; PWA-SAN MARINO/MB_A01,12
    However I would like to make it fully operational, with the power turned onto the unit from the front power switch. The wiring is fine, it looks like I am missing some voltage from the positive side as I am getting a good ground on one side.

    After looking closely at the motherboard I have established that the Intel NH82801IR on the PWRBTN# pin T3 on the BGA is either blown or become unsoldered under the BGA. I have tried reflowing the area of the ic without any success. I expected the voltage to be around 3.3V when PC on but its around 0V. So I will not be replacing the Intel NH82801IR ic and will have to live with it. There is no resistance to ground on the pin before the track goes to the T3 pin on the ic. Oh well worth a try!

      Dell G7 7500 (Motherboard P/N: 0VF32T) Schematics and BoardView
      by lemonsorlimes
      My laptop died on me about two years ago. I went through the basic recovery steps a few times and eventually, after plugging the battery back in for the xth time, a capacitor blew up on the board. Weirdly enough, the laptop then booted (battery removed) and has been running without issue ever since.

      I'd eventually like to examine the board in detail however I've had zero luck searching for schematics/boardviews for my particular motherboard.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Dell Latitude 5350 Ultra 7 Motherboard
      by Julian Bailey
      Hi

      I have a Dell Latitude 5350 Ultra 7 Motherboard I am trying to repair that has a blown chip.

      The chip is marked as eHOLH similar to the one I have pictured.

      Any ideas what it does and what the pin outs are as 3 tracks have gone and need to find out what / where they went / did etc.

      Dell PN of the motherboard is 08DCGW.




      Below is the area I am trying to repair:



      Does anyone have a picture of this motherboard in this area they could take and upload?

      Cheers...

      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...
