    Lenovo G780 LCD Circuit Short

    Hello...

    I've got my old Lenovo G780. It had a broken screen a while back and I replaced it with an aftermarket one. The aftermarket one died after a year (shocker) and some really strong plastic smell started coming from the laptop. When I went to open it up, I found a burned mosfet in what the schematics call the LCD Power Circuit, which I assume is the inverter?

    I'm not sure if I'm supposed to link schematics but they're easy to find. The mosfet's label on the motherboard is Q80 with a part number of PMV65XP.

    They seem to be on eBay. Should I just order one and replace it? Or should I do something else beforehand?

    Thanks!

      Lenovo B50-70 LA-B092P REV 2.0 - short on +3VLP
      by kotel studios
      Hi,

      My lenovo B50-70 laptop (mainboard compal LA-B092P VER 2.0) had a short on the +3V generation part (where PU401 is).
      I've removed the SY8208BQNC and the short is gone on PL402. Although, it's still there on pin 5 "LDO" of the SY8208BQNC (1.8ohms to GND).
      All other coils aren't shorted to GND.

      Removing the PC412 cap didn't help. Mainboard pads are still shorted. Cap itself is fine.
      Pin 20 (+3VLP) of ALC codec isn't shorted too, so it shouldn't be the issue.

      Originally, the laptop wouldn't power on. It would get its 20V on the...

      Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
      by aaronkatrini
      Hi all,

      Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

      Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

      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...

      For Badcaps Readers, Please note that I am hopefully going to present this same message to Lenovo to see if they have any insight to the matter as well and figured to share the entirety here for clarification. The System is out of warranty as it is but does have the option to have it extended.

      Short Circuit tester
      by Tarot Superstars
      Hello.
      I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
      The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.
