I need help trying to understand how the USB-C controllers work on a PC laptop.
I have an Asus Notebook PC model:UM425I which doesn't turn on. I check the motherboard and is doesn't have any liquid damage as such.
The USB-C tester is showing 5.18 - 5.19v fluctuating 0 amps and that's on both ports.
I checked the coils and there is no short to ground, only one was low in diode mode and with this removed the tester shows the exact same voltage readings.
There is only one USB-C controller (INFINEON CYPD5225-96BZXI) Link to the datasheet (https://uk.farnell.com/cypress-semic...-to/dp/3259951) This has been replaced but it's still the same.
The only voltages i can see is 3.4v and 1.8v coming out of the controller but these aren't going to the BIOS, iTE or any other components.
On the datasheet it mentions that this controller has 32-bit MCU Subsystem ■48-MHz Arm Cortex-M0 CPU ■128-KB Flash ■12-KB SRAM
Could it be that it needs to be programmed to be able to switch to 20v?
I would also be grateful if someone could explain from inserting the charger and it showing 5v to it switching to 20v and what components are needed to achieve this.
