    HP G62 won't power on. Burnt IC - Can't identify.

    Hey guys,

    I have an HP G62-358CA laptop that won't power on. When the power button is pressed the machine powers up then shuts off (within half a second). I've opened up the case and found a burnt IC near the RTC battery (PQ67). I can't read the label due to damage and therefore can't find the part number.

    None of HP service manuals go into "schematic-level" detail so I haven't been able to figure out this ICs function nor where to find a replacement for it.

    Is anyone familiar with this part of the circuit that can lend a hand in identifying this part?

    Thanks!

    Try this schematic: http://lqv77.com/download/697/ It doesn't match 100% (there's no PQ67) but i'm sure you'll find what you need if you take a close look, as the main blocks seem to be the same. What i can tell you about that part is that it's a power mosfet in SO-8 package, but the rest is up to you to find out.

      I wonder if this is what happens when cheap chinese AC adapters are used.

        Thanks Th3_uN1Qu3. I found the part. If only the burnt IC hadn't fused to the system board then I'd be able to replace it!

          Use a heat gun and you should be able to remove it.

            I would cut the legs off the IC.

              I had already tried the heat gun (I have a reflow station). The IC basically fell apart. The board seems to have been damaged too as a couple of the legs wouldn't come off and lifted the top layer of the PCB. Luckily, the three pins on the IC where the PCB started lifting are all connected internally and there is another connection point nearby. It might end up being a bit of a hack, but it may just work. Here's to hoping!

                You also might want to check some of the surrounding components to see if they shorted to ground, which in turn could have caused that nasty failure.

                  That would make it the source then. Don't be fooled by that - the pins aren't connected together for convenience, but because the device must switch fairly large currents. My advice would be to find out where that trace is going and use a nice heavy stranded wire to bridge it to the new mosfet, soldering to all 3 pins of the source.

                    Nice. That was my plan.

                    In the datasheet you provided the AO4712 is used in conjunction with an AO4496. On my board I've found an AO4712 used in conjunction with a NIKOS P2003BVG (in the power circuit, whereas the one that fried was down by the CMOS battery). Upon looking at both datasheets the specs of the two chips are similar but still a bit different. How sensitive are these circuits. Will it matter if the power/current ratings are off by a bit?

                      The Nikos device is weaker. Now to answer your question: Small differences don't really matter, it'll start up with almost anything if that mosfet was the only problem, but do have a temperature probe handy to check if your replacement runs at a reasonable temperature.

                        hi how do you solve this problem, if this is done, I have the same problem, hard to find ic NIKOS P2003BVG

                                Precision 5550 LA-J191P No Power, Burnt ISL9538
                                by swimllamaswim
                                I picked up this Precision 5550 to fix up recently, and found that the ISL9538 chip was burnt on pin 14 (CSIN). The two left side Type C ports negotiate at 20v, and the right side one only negotiates at 5v. I also found the EMI protection diode, DT35, was burnt on that side. I pulled the ISL9538 off, checked for any other obvious shorts, repaired the pad, and put a new one on. Now, I still do not get power, and there is a rapid clicking sound from somewhere on the board that I can't pinpoint.

                                Here are the voltages measured at that chip:

                                To note, DCIN at Pin 17 is low,...
