    Asus X421EA no longer starts

    Good morning
    I am encountering a problem on an Asus X421EA card which no longer starts; I checked the voltages, the 5v and 3vd are missing, has anyone encountered this problem, I have been looking for several hours without finding the source of the problem. Thank you!​

    Start with voltage checks at the dcin power adapter connector. Next check the dcin mosfets that should follow this connector.

    Meter in dc volts mode @ 30v or higher.

    Check the voltage to ground of the first dcin mosfet with only the power adapter connected.

    Source (1-2-3) to ground.
    Gate (4) to ground.
    Drain (5-6-7-8) to ground.


    Post each measurement.

      Thank you Monday2
      Could you be more specific about the components to measure?​

              Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode.

              Measure the resistance across the PQ8901 mosfet:

              source & drain
              source & gate
              gate & drain


              Post each measurement. Checking to see if this DCin mosfet is leaky.

                    I will already change QM3056 and see if the current comes out! I will keep you informed, time to order the component! Many thanks

                        Good morning
                        I just replaced PQ8901 without result, I took measurements on the PCR8903 diode there I found 21ohm and 0 which is normal, I removed several components to isolate the problem without result! Do you have any ideas?
                        Thank you for your suggestions.​

                            Look for and post all part numbers for the QFN chips

                              Good morning Thank you for your interest in my problem, my problem is that the references on the boardview send me to components without references on the diagram, and sometimes the references are not found from the boardview on the diagram! From my previous question, are there other Asus X421EA diagrams? Thanks again​
