I have a dead laptop with mainboard model GS452/552/752 nm-c781 rev 1.0, i have initiated troubleshooting with the use of digital multimeter. checked voltage signals up to PM_SLP_S3#, found out that before PM_SLP_S3# signal , a PBTN_OUT#_R signal has 3.2 volt state and after pressing power on, PBTN_OUT#, It drops to logic level zero for around 12 secs and then back again to 3.2v for 6 secs. it will loop like that until you pulled out the adapter power. during loop the PM_SLP_S3 and S4 SIGNAL has no output. (0 volt ) may i ask for help to anyone with this kind of board and same kind of problem. thanks

Bad Power Switch, Corrupt ME, Dead PCH, or something which was missed by measurements/observation.
Is the power switch reacting accordingly after press? -
UPDATE : PU500 has the following output
* PL500 has 1.05V
*PL501 ...none
*PL502...none
LDO1 ----NONE ( supposed to be 2.5vDDR Supply )
LDO2...1.8V
pins 1,11,16,29,31 and 36 have a logic high enable signal
my question is...is this a sign of deffective PU500 chip (LV5075BGQV) ?
please advise...thanks in advance !!!

You cant conclude Pu500 as bad yet. first check whether all the Enables are present or not on pin 29/1/11/16/31/36. Then do check all the VIN are present or not. This a multi regulator IC and often it gets partially bad but first the measurements please.Comment

i already told in post #4, 1,11,16,29,31 and 36 have a logic high enable signal.....of course VIN is present because of PL500 have output, anyway i have checked it and VIN is presentComment

Update : i already tried several dump bios for this mainboard, but nothing happens. here is my observation...that my SPI ROM chip have no SCLK reading (pin 6) and SDO have nothing as well. i used multimeter and DSO for measurements. please help what am i missing here, why no SCLK and SDO reading? thanksComment

What is the resistance to ground of the LDO1 rail?Comment
-
You mean pin 6 of PU500? well its 150kohm and rising due to capacitor coonected PC520Comment
-
Since all enables and VIN is present for PU500,logically all LDO rails should be there(as its not shoerted). So worth replacing PU500 before troubleshooting further.Comment

sorry, it was a mistake. no enable signal for LDO1, that is why there is no voltage output for 2.5v ddr supply. My question is why there is no CLK reading on PIN6 of my SPI ROM chip, i measured it using multimeter and an oscilloscope. no clk input, that is why i cant move on another troubleshooting because reflashing of bios is non sense if my spi rom have no CLK on pin 6.Comment

+3VALW_PCH available? SPI CLK is input to SIO.Try flashing the SIO firmware also. EC_VPP_PWREN also released by SIO to activate LDO1 rail on PU500. So i strongly suggest to flash ec firmware first.Comment

Firmware requests should be inside the dedicated BIOS forum.
Update - it is attached.

Hi all,
As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?
I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.
Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard... -
hello guys,
i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
so i changed it
now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...
i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

Hello everyone hope all doing well!
I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there... -
Hi guys!
I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage... -
Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".
Specs: I7-10750H, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM (unknown manufacturer)...
