    Dell E6430 19v line short

    Dell E6430 19v line short,
    (QAL80 LA-7781P)

    19v rail, output side was showing a short (checked after removing CLR), a polar capacitor (PC1074-processor decoupling) in the core section was getting heat, when replaced that cap, the short gone, but when power on the machine, again that cap was heating (even had removed the processor already). so not understanding even no processor attached why this cap was getting shorted again and again

    any guidance please.

    Schematic:

          9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
          by Geeker007
          Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

          I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

          So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...

          Dell E5470 LA-C631p - Short removed now turns on but no post/display
          by retrorepair2
          Got a really frustrating issue here, got a Dell laptop as above which initially had a short on the +POWER_SRC rail, discovered a short cap in a bank of 3 near PU801. Removed and verified the short was gone, it was and the laptop powered on, tried to load windows but just kept rebooting. Sometimes didn't post. Battery was charging.

          Stripped it back down and replaced the cap (assumed looking at the LA-632p schematic it's a 10U cap, no boardview so who really knows). Now the board doesn't charge the battery and while it powers on with a brief spin of the fans, there's no display on the...

          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...

          DELL Nvidia GTX 750Ti Mosfet goes short after a few minutes
          by aaronkatrini
          Hi all,

          I have recently picked up this Dell OEM Nvidia GTX 750Ti 2GB Video card. Its an old card I know but still wanted to get it working if possible. The problem is the following:

          - Put the card in my testing motherboard and start running Heaven benchmark
          - Benchmarks seems to run smoothly up until half way then the motherboard completely shuts off immediately
          - Try to start it again and I get a slight move from the PSU fan - a clear short
          - A little troubleshooting later I find one shorted Mosfet - Replace them both - short is gone
          - Put the...
