    Dell XPS 13 - Doesn't Always Power On

    I am working on a Dell XPS 13 - when pressing the power button, the white light will come on and go off. If you keep pressing the button it will eventually power on and work fine.

    If the laptop is restarted it will go through the same process.

    Any help would be appreciated.

          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.

          Dell XPS 9380 No Power - After providing 3VALW and 5VALW once, they persist - still no power-up
          by seppde
          Hello everyone,
          I've recently gotten my hands on a defective XPS13 9380. I will attach a zip of the schematics and boardview.
          My first discovery on the Board was that the reverse current Diode PD103 of the 1st USB-C was blown.
          Nothing to worry about, the board got 3 USB-C ports which support Power/Charging. On I go.
          Next I inspected the power-rails to see why the diode blew up and found a short on the 3V3 rail which I traced back to the Power-IC for the LCD (UZ2). I desoldered it and the very low-ohmic short is gone. I checked on the LCD-connector that there's no short...

          Dell G3 17 3779 Weird power cycling and shutdown/restart issue
          by SuperJames
          This one's a weird one, and still unsolved despite it having gone back to Dell once.

          Specs

          i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max Q, 500GB SSD & Seagate 7mm 1TB HDD. 17.3 IPS screen. This has the fingerprint reader in the power button.

          Backstory

          I bought this from eBay, from a wallpapering shop. £650 in 2020 which was a good price considering it's a gaming laptop. Physically it's in perfect shape, apart from the hinge mounts on the palmrest failing in the time I've had it (I have a new palmrest for it). The usual thin plastic crap modern build quality!...

          Dell XPS 13 9370 Laptop, No power, not charging
          by rob_hen
          Hello!

          This is my first post for help, and I am quite newer to board repair, so bear with me.

          I have this board here (LA-E671P), with no power, and doesn't charge. No lights come on when plugged in.

          After visual inspection of the board, U22 is obviously blown up. This is the for backlight, and there is no shorts present after removing the chip and replacing.

          There is 3 USB C ports to power this board, USB 1 gives 20V, while 2 and 3 only give 5V.

          My observations using USB 1 at 20V (0.075A draw on Ammeter, slowly drops from 0.136A)...
