    Lenovo V15 G3 No Backlight after liquid damage

    Good morning guys,

    I have a Lenovo V15 G3 that came in with liquid damage. The damage was very minor and some corrosion on the IO board where the power switch was. After cleaning both the motherboard and IO board in alcohol, the laptop turned on and I had backlight for about 3 seconds but nothing further. I don't have a boardview for this laptop (Have requested this in the Schematic Request section), however from previous experience on Lenovo laptops I have checked pins 1, 2, 3 on the EDP connector. When the battery is connected only, I get 8V and when AC adapter is connected, I get 20V.

    I have also confirmed at pin 6 (DISPOFF), I get 3.3V. The laptop is working perfectly fine except the backlight, I have tried an alternative display and connector but still the same issue. I expected the problem to be a fuse on the backlight rail but because I am getting voltage at both the fuse input and output, and also on the EDP connector I am happy that's not the issue.

    The model of the motherboard is JV472/JV572 NM-E551 Rev 1.0. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    James

      Lenovo IdeaPad 5 ITL05 | LA-K321P | Liquid Damage & No Charging
      by grimacelord
      Hello,

      I have an LA-K321P board here that came to me for no power. Upon visual inspection of the board, I found some liquid damage around PQB13 area. Replaced PQB1, PQB2, and PQB13. Laptop will power on if the battery has a charge, but the computer will not charge the battery. USB Type C meter shows 20V being negotiated, but virtually zero amp draw (0.0100 at most that appears for a brief second about once every 5 seconds or so). Looking through thermal camera, UT1 (SN2001024YBGR) is getting hot. I have schematic, but no board view. Was hoping someone could help me get this charging...

      MacBook Pro 13inch 2017mid (A1706 820-00923-A) - liquid damage - USBC and Display short circuit
      by rilley
      Hello everyone,
      I am new into this, sorry to post it here. I want to make this as a pet hobby project, as this mac is not urgent.

      I have (Macbook Pro 13inch 2017mid) A1706 820-00923-A

      My mac had liquid damage a long time ago, the connector from J8500 is damaged on pin 46 (PP5V_S0_ALSCAM_F), I guess the LCD/display panel is in short circuit, as I saw the connector from the LCD burned as well.

      And the resistor L4004 is literally burned.

      From what I see from the schematics, it does not affect any other rails, only the connection to the display...

      Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 that suffered water damage
      by Joel Ohana
      Hi,

      I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IAU7 that suffered water damage. It doesn't turn on (white power light flashes when on button pressed), and the amber light flashes when plugged in.

      Symptoms:
      • Short detected – sparks appear when touching the charging port connection with board with a metal (even a multimeter probe).
      • Visible damage – after cleaning corrosion, I found 4 possibly burnt memory chips near PC3165, labeled UD5, UD6, UD7, and UD8.

      What are my next steps to diagnose and possibly repair it without replacing the entire board? Any guidance would be greatly...
