Donor IC question?

[roxboy1984]

Hi Guys, I have a Dell XPS 13” laptop that I’m trying to repair. If I look at the board with a thermal cam. The following component “3W=Q2W” which looks like a voltage regulator is getting very hot. So my question is. Can I swop it out with this one. “K2L31”? I can’t seem to find any data sheets. Please see pics for reference. Thanks for any help or advice.

No, not till there is 100% confirmation that they are the same form, fit and function. So far, only know that they are the same sot23-5 package.

Which exact Dell model are you reviewing?

'3W=' = Richtek.

Thanks so much as always for your help. The two models that I have are attached. The one that I’m trying to repair is the 9360.

See attached. Part reference is PU202.

Part # RT9069-33GB

You should be able to source replacements from other vendors. Is a simple 3v3 LDO. Confirm the pinout and max current support against the original by Richtek.

First you should remove the part and measure resistance to GND on output pin before proceeding for replacement.

Do you by chance know the Vendor of the "K2L31" ? or possibly have a boardview for the LA-H931P?

Hi. No, the 2 parts are not the same.

The original component on the board is a 3v3 LDO which is capable of accepting a rather high voltage as the input and output the 3v3 voltage rail.

The component you have with the 'K2' prefix is a USB load switch which acts like a solid state relay. The reference datasheet for the 'K2' component is available here:

BV for XPS9360? Yes, have it but is marked as 'LA-D841P'. It was used to identify the PU202 component. Will post it in the schematic forum once at the office if still of interest. The LA-D841P BV file may already be available in the schematic forum.
