    LA-3541P No power

    Need some help here guys. PQ11 source and gate voltages is OK 18.8v but 0.47v on drain which is coming from PQ9's source, gate is 19.2v. Already replaced both Fets.
    Thanks.

    Gate should be low. That's a P-Channel mosfet. It is locked in protected mode. Check 19V line for short and if charger is faulty.

      If you don't have any short on 19v line and charger measures ok, just strap that MOSFET and call it a day.

      I've seen this issue on multiple boards and it's a royal pain tracing the drive of that fet. I broke a board while tracing such an issue when a wire slipped and shorted the CPU VRM, and ever since i haven't bothered to trace that ever again. This usually happens after a charger with higher voltage is accidentally used with the laptop, and if there are no shorts on any of the power rails, simply jumping that FET will work fine.

      Of course, with that MOSFET bypassed, all bets are off if 24V or something silly is applied again, but that's the user's problem, not yours...

        what do you get at pin 2 and 3 of PU1A? If pin 1 of PU1A is low you will get 19v at the gate of PQ11.

            On those boards, its very common to have a capacitor failure. Chek all capacitors for shorts, you can pull out the inductors Pl4 PL14 PL9 Pl17, so you can localize shorts.

              Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
              by Tynan Dill
              I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

              Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

              I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

              The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

              With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

              Assuming...

              Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
              by PantherDave
              Hi all!

              I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

              I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

              Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
              by GLISIT
              Hi all,

              TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


              I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

              A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

              Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
              by sam_sam_sam
              I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

              One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
