    [LA-J891P] Warm cpu on 19v rail injection, is it fried ?

    Hi,
    I'm learning electronics(already have some basics) by fixing a FH52M LA-J891P rev1B. It come from an acer nitro 5. The charger was defaulting upon pluging. The 19V rail resistance is 0ohm (I believe that caps screw my measurement). When i inject 5A, I get a rail tension of 1.3V, and 0.8V vcccore.
    Except the cpu, I cant feel anything getting warmer.
    I believe that it is normal, because the cpu is "eating" half the power I'm imputing.
    I dont know if the cpu is fried, because I did not remove the big capacitor on vcccore.
    I believe that if the cpu was fried, it would be caused by a fried mosfet, but I believe the mosfets are fine, because the vcccore tension is lower than the rail tension (i.e. no mosfet is burned open or closed)
    Can someone tell me if I'm thinking right, and what should be my next move ?
    I think I will try to inject 1V into vcccore, so that I can get the cpu resistance without frying it, and without removing the capacitors.
    Thank you in advance for your help and advices
    Have a nice day !

    if u inject more than 2V u burn cpu because of shorted highside mosfet

      Hi,
      If the high side mosfets were shorted, I would get vcccore = v_rail , am I wrong ?
      Thank you for your help

        yes. but charger can detect it and not do harm. injecting is another story

          When there is a short on the 19V drop resistor it is a good rule not to inject the 19V because if a mosfet of the CPU voltage line is damaged it could happen that all the 19V go to the CPU, if we burn it it also depends on the amperage as well as on the voltage. If you think something similar has happened you need to measure the ohm value on the CPU line. It may happen that although there are apparently no problems, the CPU may be damaged. You understand this because usually the chip that manages the 19V does not supply it, probably being blocked by a powergood signal.

            Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
            by Nagy Daniel
            Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

            I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

            I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

            So, I generated a table with AI so I can...

            Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
            by Victor Moreira Silva
            Hello everyone,

            I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

            Well, my decice specs are the following:

            Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
            CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
            GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
            Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

            The symptom:
            When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

            Lenovo Thinkcentre tiny M90Q gen 1 - no 12V rail
            by lefetylorant
            Hello Everyone,

            Long story short, I got this unit for very cheap.
            I've started to experiment with it's BIOS, as I did before successfully with an M900. However my very bad quality SOIC clip broken while dumping of the biosof and it must have damaged something on the panel, because it does not turn on, and does exactly nothing when powered. The maximum voltage that could have affected something is the 3.3 or 5v from the IC clip, because the unit was not powered while the bios dumping was in progress.

            I've performed some measurements:
            - 20V rail perfectly...

            Weird behavior on 3.3V rail of a CORSAIR CX600
            by bimole
            Hi,

            A colleague gave me an apparently ill CORSAIR CX600.
            He told me that he heard a banging noise, and smelt the magic smoke.
            After tearing down the PSU, no burnt component, everything seems OK, but the PSU often refuses to stay ON. When shorting PS_ON to GND, the fan spins a bit a finally stops. No output voltages.

            I tried to treat some apparently bad solder joins and finally it seems to work OK... on the 12V and 5V rails!
            It's another story on the 3.3V rail...

            I have some devices to test deeply PSUs (scope, AC source, electronic load)...
