Could somebody help me to understand how the First MOSFET (PQ42) in the AMD laptop is switched on through the transistor package (PQ17)?

Re: Understanding Main MOSFET logic
No, because even the partial schematic is to incomplete to tell. Can't even read from where the PQ17 Gates are controlled. So please add board number or link to schematics. -
Re: Understanding Main MOSFET logic
The first DCin mosfet is a P-channel mosfet. You can confirm this by the direction of the arrow at the gate of the mosfet schematic symbol or by reviewing the datasheet.
Being P-channel, to enable this mosfet, the gate voltage must be lower than the voltage being passed between the source and drain pins.
The dual transistor below this mosfet in the schematic is a 2N2907A type. This is a PNP transistor.
You can confirm this type by the direction of the arrow in the graphic symbol of the schematic. Being used as a switch, this PNP switch will turn ON if the BASE pin is a logic low=0 volts level. When ON, a positive voltage will pass onto the gate pin of the P-channel mosfet.
So this combination of parts is acting like a logic inverter gate.
A logic low on the 2N2907 base pin will turn OFF the first DCin mosfet and vice versa.
Measure the voltage to ground of the mosfet gate pin. If the voltage is sufficiently lower than the source / drain pins, it should be on.
You can confirm if the mosfet is defective or not by checking the resistance between the mosfet pins.
Always remove the power to the logic board when measuring the resistance or if testing in diode mode.
Check the resistance of:
Source (1-2-3) & drain (5-6-7-8)
Source (1-2-3) & gate (4)
Gate (4) & Drain (5-6-7-8)
Post each measurement.

My reference only: TT10141.
Problem: I need to purchase a mosfet chip from board 820-02100 M1 Pro, that is supposed to be Q5820 but according to Digikey, the schematic diagram I sent them, neither are relevant to the actual mosfet specification I sent them. I just basically need to find this mosfet to purchase, I cannot find it anywhere and am hoping someone could point me in the right direction without have to purchase this entire allusive board. Already checked with Digikey, Mouser, Aliexpress, eBay. Any suggestions?
Mosfet specs are as follows:

I tried to use this method:
Testing an N-channel MOSFET:
Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.
Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the...09-27-2024, 03:31 AM -
I'm working on a HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15-eh1508sa that is missing 19v. I've looked at the schematics and want to know what conditions the ISL9238C checks before it enables the gate for MOSFETs PQ8200 and PQ8201,
I havent found any shorts on the board.
I get 19v at +PRWSRC but around 1.7v at the Drain of PQ8201(+vin)

I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection... -
Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO
Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...
