    Acer 6930g-no power

    Acer 6930 gr. I turn on the power. The lights come on for 1-2 seconds and the laptop shuts down. When the hard drive is disconnected, the laptop starts normally!!! I have done bios programming, NorthBridge refresh. Nothing changed. Maybe the hdd controller is at fault? Who is the controller? Motherboard da0zk2mb6e0 rev e

    Have you checked with a second hdd too?
    If not the hdd could have a short and it's shorting the power rails.
    Also the hdd is connecting to the southbridge so do a visual check there and at hdd motherboard connector.

      I tried another hard drive,i checked the motherboard hdd slot.No result.
      Where are the hard drives usually connected to the motherboard? To the southbridge or on some controller? Τhere is a short circuit somewhere...

        Your motherboard has 4 data lines from hdd to southbridge.
        Also takes the 3,3V and the 5V.
        You could measure if there is voltage drop at the two power lines when you have the hdd connected.

        You could also try if you don't use the dvd drive to remove it and place a hdd caddy there to put the hdd there.

          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...

          Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
          by GLISIT
          Hi all,

          TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


          I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

          A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

          Acer X223HQ (Version Bbd) on/off-power-cycling
          by usbdevice
          Hi all

          There's two other threads about this monitor with seemingly the same problem. The problem was resolved in one case by replacing the entire PSU board and in the second one by replacing an unknown IC.

          The first one has pictures of the pcbs and I noticed that there's one IC and assorted caps not populated on mine (but the PCB itself looks identical) so I thought that'd warrant a new thread.

          It's my dad's old monitor. He...
