    confirm if the RT8243AZQW IC PWM is supplying power to coil PL 9 & 8. If not ,check the following pins of RT8243AZQW: 2, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. There are additional testing points on BQ24735RGRR and the SIO that need to be tested, but please update first

  • Power Issue on HP AHL50/ABL52 LA-C701P Motherboard - UEFI Chip Not Powered

    Hello,

    I have a motherboard from an HP laptop: AHL50/ABL52 LA-C701P. Idle consumption is 35 mA; when the power button is pressed, the consumption goes up to 85 mA and stays there for about 15 seconds, then returns to 35 mA at idle.
    First observation: the UEFI chip is not powered (MX25L6473E). I've checked the schematic; the +3V_PCH seems to come from two MOSFETs, 2N7002 and AO3413L. However, I don't have either +3VALW or PCH_PWR-EN present. The PCH_PWR-EN comes from the EC (KB9022QD). I've tested the +3VALW_EC on a few pins and I have 3.3V on pins 22, 32, 47, 97, 98, etc. I haven't measured all the pins, just giving an idea. What's bothersome is that this doesn't match the schematic I have: "LA-C701P rev 0.1" is indicated in the title block, and on my motherboard, it says "LA-C701P rev 1.0". I don't know if that's important... Could the EC be faulty?
