Re: Packard Bell laptop, dead

Sorry now I don't understand, there is no pq printed anythere or??

I was able to get 3.54V on one pin on that ISL chip.

Re: Packard Bell laptop, dead

looks like a short on 5v rail
so next task is even more complicated

the pq34 must be removed and see if that 000 disappears
if not the isl6237 must be removed and measure again
if not then is even more complicated .

if you have the skills and you have an hot air gun then try it

Re: Packard Bell laptop, dead

I did get more voltages on the left side (in that picture) there was 3.5V and I think even 5V. There was also 19V and after that I apprently f**ked up and the was a spark so is this as good as junk now?

And because I cannot do any surface mount soldering I think my skills and equipment are not enough to fix this. I was hoping that the problem would have been in the bios battery connector or DC IN board.

Re: Packard Bell laptop, dead

most likely yes but maybe it was already faulty
