    please help friend's thinkpad T480 NM-b501 dead, VSYS_OUT 9.2v, thank you

    Please help sir, this board does not turn on because VSYS_OUT is 9.2v, I compared it with a normal board VSYS_OUT is 10.2v, I have replaced the PQ101 and PQ102 mosfet and BQ 25700 which is known to be good, but the results are still the same, thank you

    VSYS_OUT 9.2v
    Meter in resistance mode auto range 6M ohm ok

    NORMAL BOARD VSYS_OUT 10.2V

        Be very careful about high voltage injection because if there is a leaking high side mosfet, the high voltage will enter the low voltage devices and can cause damage.

        From this last test, the unit powers up ok with 10v2 injection?

        This voltage is configured using the I2C / SMBUS lines so do review their voltage to ground.

            Remove all power -> meter in DIODE mode -> red meter probe (yes RED) to ground. Black meter probe on point to test.

            Test:

            ​PD7
            PD8


            Post each diode mode measurement.

                  That was my next question

                  With no power, what is the resistance to ground of VCC3M ? Do you have a voltage @ M_ON which is the enable for this power rail ? If this power rail is shorted or is drawing too much current, then M_ON will be OFF.

                    ha.. saya tidak memiliki tegangan M_ON 0V pak, VCC3M PL202 dioda mode 822 baik baik saja

                        To confirm your post # 2 - with an external power supply injection of 10v2, the board works fine?

                        How is the operation of this board using a charged battery?

                          Sorry sir, I'm late in giving an answer, the battery is damaged so I can't try, but I installed an adapter and injected 10.2v into VSYS_OUT, the result is the same, it still won't turn on, where else should I check, is there a problem with the charging IC circuit, thank you

                            With no power to the board. Meter in resistance mode. Measure the resistance to ground of each inductor on the board. Usually they are grey in color. Checking for a shorted power rail on the logic board. Post any suspects that you find.

                                  These look like good values to me. Suggest for you to (carefully) review the voltages to ground of these same inductors on the known good board -> make a table of these measurements. Then compare the same measurements on this non-working board.

                                    Oh, that means sir, it's not a problem with the charging block, because the charging IC produces the VSYS_OUT vin, and sir, I compared it with a normal board which is different only on the PL701 VCC1R0_SUS 18 ohm, on the normal PL701 board 28 ohm, thank you very much sir for your help

                                      IMO, the 10 ohms difference is very small. To completely rule out the charging IC -> carefully (!!) measure the voltage to ground of each pin on both boards and post the full table of values.

                                      It is possible that the working board is sending out a 'power good' signal to inform the rest of the board to power up and the non-working board is missing such a signal. Be sure of your soldering of the replaced parts. As far as I know, the actual output voltage is configured using the I2C / SMBUS SCL & SDA lines. The ultimate would be to monitor this bus traffic to understand what communication is ongoing from the SMBUS master and this SMBUS slave chip (charger IC). If there is a fault condition, the SMBUS analyzer logs will reveal them.

                                      Consider to measure the voltage to ground of each pin on the charger IC with a known good power adapter on this board. Then repeat with the working board.

                                        Sir, I just measured the normal board on the U101B VREGIN20, it measured 9.6v, and on the problematic board it was only 1v, maybe this is the problem, please help me investigate this, sir, thank you
