    Asus A555LF (X555LD Rev.3.6 Board) Not Turning On With Power Button

    the board (yes, just the motherboard & daughter board) came to my desk with shorted ITE8585E, after ordered a programmed ITE and placing it on motherboard it turned on immediately, using HDMI i confirm that the boot entering the bios since there is no bootable drive attached. then i turned off by unplugging the DC adapter, while preparing keyboard, mouse & some flashdrive to boot into.

    after all plugged (including adapter) the board doesn't "auto turn on" like before, pressing power button with no change. without unplugging anything i'm checking voltages needed for turned on and it's all there.

    before flashing the bios, i then reflow the ITE8585E then check all 128 pin one by one to confirm it soldered properly to the board and all pass, try pluged in dc adapter still doesn't turn on, no excesive heat generated after replacing the ITE before and after reflowing with hot air.

    after searching for bios, i can't found for X555LF version, all have X555LA or X555LAB version, so i decided to try edit it from asus website and the board back to life and able to boot to flashdrive i've plugged without error

    but the main problem still exist, it can't turn on after turned off, no matter from window or linux or from power button i turn it off, it won't turned on again by pressing power button, EXCEPT if i unplug then plugged the adapter it will turn on, already tried the solution from https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...16&postcount=3 and still the same

    did i miss something here?
    it's been almost a week with no progress, please help...

    let me know when you need the bios

    1) post or link the schematic if available.

    2) review the usual 2*DCin mosfets to check if they are leaking. Which charger IC is onboard?

      1) sorry my bad, i used schematic from https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ghlight=x555ld

      2) 2*DCin mosfet is at Mega Ohm range on my meter (Gate-Source, Gate-Drain, Source-Drain). it use BQ735 for charger IC

        See attached.

        Confirm that PWR_SW# indeed goes to logic LOW when pressed; logic high otherwise. This is an active LOW signal to toggle the ON / OFF status of the logic board.

        If the default pull-up resistor is missing or defective, this could be a fault.

          power sequence, yes, that's i've been looking for

          PWR_SW# is working as it should, on power button pin and pin 110 of ITE8585E. it has 3.2V when not pressing power button and 0V when pressing power button

              When it turns on, the operation is normal with video?

                I would also consider a bad SPI flash in a weird case like that.

                  Are you confident your vendor put the right EC code on your ITE?

                      yes, because before flashing he ask about the exact model number on the sticker (X555LF)

                        tried changing SPI chip with fresh one (same model numberof SPI chip) but nothing change, but when i try accessing Easy Flash menu from bios the laptop restart, and i try download Bios-Utility from asus website (https://www.asus.com/id/supportonly/...desk_download/) the installer detected that it's not an asus laptop!

                        any ideas...?

                          IIRC, you have to have one of the other Asus utlities installed for the Windows BIOS update tool to recognise it as an Asus system. ATK package or something like that.

                          Failing that, dump out your BIOS and upload it to the BIOS group for someone to repair it.

                            finally after long duration of brain storming, the problem solved guys!!!!

                            so, this is what i've done. in case someone had a same or similiar issue

                            flashing the original SPI chip with the lowest version of bios from asus website for the model, after installed the chip & restoring default on bios menu then i fresh install win 10 pro. without installing any driver needed then i try installing the Bios-Utility with result on post #12

                            after failed install the Bios-Utility then i re-download latest bios version from asus website and saved it on the hard drive, then i access Easy Flash from bios menu and it didn't restart like before. with finger crossed i waited until flashing process completed and it did. after restart, i forget to enter the bios to access the restore default menu.

                            so i let the windows boot to desktop and wait until no hard drive led activity, still with finger crossed then i shutdown the system. then i press power button and it TURNED ON!!! immediatelly pressing F2 to enter bios and confirmed that the version is the same with latest version on asus website, after restoring default then i let the windows to boot and repeat the shutdown - turn on without issue.

                            thank's for all your help guys, i think admin can change the title as "solved" or something like that

                            just wandering, what was happened actually?
