Hello,
After my Surface Laptop 4 was rejected by Microsoft repair due to an alleged water damage. As a result, I've decided to tackle the issue myself. Unfortunately, after a use involving a self-soldered USB board, the USB port (not USB-C, which still works) is no longer functioning.
Now, I suspect that a short circuit may have damaged something on the motherboard. I've checked for any visible damage according to the schematics but couldn't find any. So, I decided to check if there's any voltage on the Vbus. Sadly, it's reading 0V. I've traced the supply and came across the NO-MSPN-00312 controller. Initially, it has a 3.3V input voltage, but there's no output voltage anywhere. Now, my question is: could a faulty ic be the cause? The IC has a 'SENS' circuit as well; what is this for? Could anyone provide a hint as to its purpose?
i also attachted PDF Shematics .
