    MSI MS-14C4 - No power (MS14C41 Ver 3)

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem with MSI MS-14C4, no power 20v 0.1amp on the reader, no signs of liquid damage, if battery attached there is no difference. Area next to BQ gets very hot as well with PR305, PQ31 Drain 20V, Source 4.2v, Gate 5.2V about 4.1V, PQ30 Drain 4.2 V, Source 0V, Gate 2.2V.

    I've noticed that occasionally 2nd USB port goes to 5v - 0.1AMP, as soon re-connected comes back to 20V 0.1Amp any ideas? I couldn't find any schematics nor boardview.

    Remove all power -> meter in resistance mode (not diode mode). Check the resistance to ground @ PC231. One meter probe @ PC231; other meter probe on the other side of PC231. One side of this capacitor is ground. If this cluster of parts is heating up then someone in this region is shorting and drawing too much current, resulting in heat generation.

      0.8MOhm on PC231, removed PC231 and 2 others next to it, same thing, after removing, when PR next to it is removed board does not heat up, 20v 0.6amp

              HP 250 G5 (LA-D704P with a Core i7-6500U) won't POST
              by gpx
              Hi everyone, I am hoping for a little help with an HP 250 G5 with motherboard LA-D704P with a Core i7-6500U. I am new to board repair but keen to learn.

              I am sorry this post is quite long but I was trying to systematically work my way through things.

              I don't know the history of the board – I bought it as part of a job lot.

              I have attached a number of photos of both sides of the board. I cannot seem to find a schematic or boardview online.

              When plugged in to DC power the power LED lights and the battery seems to charge. It will not...

              How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
              by Jane
              I tried to use this method:

              Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

              Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
              Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
              Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

              Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
              Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the

              Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ITL05 not powering on
              by tantr13
              Hi everyone,
              This is my first post so I'm hoping to get some help on this awesome forum. As a preface, I'm an amateur at electronics, especially troubleshooting complicated devices like laptops. However, I'm trying to develop a skill for it so I can learn how these devices work and how to repair them without continuing the wasteful tradition of throwing them away and buying new. 🤮

              I've had a Lenovo Ideapad 5 14ITL05 for a few years now, with motherboard LA-K321P. I would never leave it plugged in unless I was using it, and always turned it off after I was done, but last week...

              Repairing a Music Store Professional GO! SUB 18A
              by h0m3w0rk
              Hello everyone,

              I'm working on repairing a Music Store Professional GO! SUB 18A bass subwoofer, and I need some help troubleshooting an issue with the power amplifier board. The board uses an IR2153 driver and originally had two SLW20N50C MOSFETs. Unfortunately, these MOSFETs burned out. I replaced them with two TK20J60W MOSFETs; however, these also failed almost immediately.

              Here are some details:
              • SLW20N50C (original):
                • Rated for 500 V
                • Typical RDS(ON): 0.21 Ω
                • Continuous Drain Current: 20 A at 25°C (13 A at 100°C)
                • Pulsed Drain Current: 80 A
                • Avalanche
