    Dell G15 5510 troubleshoot non-working dGPU or disabling it

    hi,

    I have a Dell G15 5510 with an intel 10th gen 8 core and I believe a RTX 3060.
    I bought it as is and it seems to have had some liquid spill.

    Currently the dGPU is not shown in the BIOS and does not seem to work at all ( not in dev manager either ).
    Besides that, some keys on the keyboard don´t work, but it seems everything else is ok - works from power, battery, charges. etc.

    I found the schematic here : https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...s-and-brd-file
    but cannot find the board file anywhere, except on a paid site in some black and white form.

    I would like to troubleshoot the issue with the dGPU and if it is not fixible, electrically disable it ( page 26 of schematic it says : GC OFF 1.0 GPU Power ON/OFF).

    Can anyone help me get started ? I have been measuring near some coils that I think power the GPU and I measures 1.0V. I basically understand too little of the whole process to work constructively.
    Thank you for any hints and help!

    I found some shorts near PVC183 on the board. I soldered off the caps near but the short is still present.
    I found some additional information on page 37 of the schematics, a few mentions of DVT1 modify GPU sequence .
    Not sure if that is related to powering the dGPU off ?
    Does anyone know how to proceed? Any help is greatly appreciated!
