    Dell 15-3542 MB: 13269-1 Strange LDO

    Hello, I received this laptop with no power issue.

    Originally short on mosfets of 1D05V_PWR

    after removing mosfets I do not get the 3V LDO from TPS51225R(PU4502 3V/5V IC) (see on the attached image what I get in blue).

    I have replaced 2 times the TPS and same issue, the 19V line from the charger is steady, my undestand is that the TPS only needs the 19V to provide the LDO but I get that noisy voltage.

    I have cut the LDO trace coming out the TPS and same issue measuginr on the IC.

    Any help?

    thanks

    Output capacitor is required for the LDO to work properly.
    Regardless, if there was a problem both on 3V LDO and 1.05V rails, PCH is probably damaged.

      Dell G3 17 3779 Weird power cycling and shutdown/restart issue
      by SuperJames
      This one's a weird one, and still unsolved despite it having gone back to Dell once.

      Specs

      i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max Q, 500GB SSD & Seagate 7mm 1TB HDD. 17.3 IPS screen. This has the fingerprint reader in the power button.

      Backstory

      I bought this from eBay, from a wallpapering shop. £650 in 2020 which was a good price considering it's a gaming laptop. Physically it's in perfect shape, apart from the hinge mounts on the palmrest failing in the time I've had it (I have a new palmrest for it). The usual thin plastic crap modern build quality!...

      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
      by Bowline
      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

      Dell Latitude 3510 Overheating & Fan Control Issue – Need Help
      by Ven
      Dell Latitude 3510 (Intel Core i7-10510U) CPU Overheating

      Issue Description:
      1. CPU Overheating to 100°C
        • When I start the laptop from a cold state, it takes about a minute to reach temps around 80-90-100°C, and CPU thermal throttling triggers.​
        • When the CPU fan is running at full speed (by disconnecting PWM and TACH cables), CPU temperature stays around 50-60°C.
        • However, when the fan is connected normally to the motherboard, it does not kick in at high temperatures.
        • I also noticed a few times that the fan kicked in for a very short time, but it does not stay on consistently.

      Dell G15 5515 RGB Keyboard Not Detected (Compatible Keyboard, Possible BIOS/EC Issue?)
      by NotEnough
      Hi everyone,



      I'm working on a Dell G15 5515 (Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050 Ti) and recently installed a compatible 4-zone RGB keyboard and controller (for Dell G15 5510/5511/5515 models). While the keyboard functions for typing, the RGB lighting is not detected by Alienware Command Center (AWCC), which displays “No AlienFX devices found.”



      What I've Tried So Far:
      • Reseated the cables.
      • Reinstalled AWCC and AlienFX services.
      • Attempted BIOS downgrade but no improvement.
      • Inspected ribbon cables for damage.
      • Explored the possibility of BIOS or

      Dell Inspiron 3480 All in One corrupt Bios issue
      by computerbacon79
      The Dell Inspiron 3480 I own (the all in one, not the laptop) is not wanting to turn on at all. It goes right to a dell logo, but it stays there forever with no other information on the screen. Holding the automatic Bios repair key combo (ctrl+esc) that should let it read a recovery file off a USB drive gets stuck on a black screen and does nothing. No amount of resetting anything so far has worked, and Dell's own support downloads have not really helped. Ive tried another BIN file I found online using my CH341A, and this got me slightly more, that time it displayed a loading bar that never moved...
