    A2338 M2 short on main power chip

    I have a short on the main power chip. Is swapping a chip of a donor board possible? Is there anything else I should check first?

    Thanks

    I injected ppbus_aon with 1.2v and the short showed up on the pmic when I used a can of freeze. Before I source a board and replace it, are there other things that could cause this?

      Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
      by Dani_2024
      Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
      I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
      Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

      Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

      Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
      by Victor Moreira Silva
      Hello everyone,

      I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

      Well, my decice specs are the following:

      Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
      CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
      GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
      Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

      The symptom:
      When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

      ASUS FX505DV no power shorted at PWM controller Pin 3 VREG3 TPS51225C, need pinpointing of the short.
      by OOF DIO
      (If anyone has a functional boardview file of FX505DV/DU that would be helpful)
      (Had 3 problems, now just 1)

      I have no experience or knowledge and usage of tools to repair devices besides the entire past 12-10 days of researching, watching YouTube repair videos and troubleshooting this laptop motherboard. ChatGPT was used as a guide to ask questions.
      I used boardviews of mostly FX505GD-M, and some FX505DU, FX505DD. Used schematics of FX505DU.

      I had originally intended to replace the BQ24780s first (due to previous battery removal while benchmarking) but I...

      Asus X1403ZA rev 2.1 no power short on main
      by johnbeton
      Hello,

      I have an Asus X1403ZA board. Came in with no power or charge light. One screw of the hinges let loose and was dancing around inside the laptop.
      I have 19v coming in the first mosfet, but nothing on the source or gate. (also no voltages on other rails, no shorts on coils)
      The current resistor and source of the second mosfet are short to ground. I have looked for schematic or boardview, but nothing to be found.

      Anyone have tips where to start ?
