    Power issues with HP pavillion 15 eh1815nd

    Hello,

    I have some issues with my HP pavillion 15 eh1815nd.
    It doesn't wanna power on anymore, when i click the start button it briefly turns white, then the light goes off again.
    The charge light is indicating that it's charging when i plug it in.

    I did some tests accross the board, and found 2 (coils?) near the CPU, one of the small (chips?) next to the bottom coil seems to get unusually hot, and the coil shows quite a lower resistance then the coil above.
    Most/all capacitors next to, and below the bottom coil seem to be connected to ground on both sides, this is not the case for the top coil.

    Test results:

    Top coil, ground to coil > 120ohms

    Bottom coil, ground to coil > 41.8ohms

    I will include some pictures of the affected presumebly coils, and surrounding area.

    Would anyone be able to offer me a hand? i am still quite new to this stuff, so please correct any mistakes i might have made explaining/testing this issue.

    The resistance to GND readings on coil is meaningless if we dont know what the coil stands for.
    Link schematic/BV if posted on forum and share mb part number.

      Hello, thanks for the reply!
      Sorry about that, i am still learning.

      The MB part number is DAG7HAMB8F0 REV F

      (i will also include the part number and the board in whole as pictures)

        I did some searching, and found that the little chip next to those inductors/coils is TPS51486RJER component labeled PU8700, so a power managing for the memory and the CPU? if that fails, would it cause the surrounding area to short out?

            LG Flatron starts w. coil whine and power issues
            by Bitvive
            Hi ,

            My old LG Flatron recently started with coil beeping. This got worse every day for a few days until it also started having power problems.

            Now it also went off again after displaying the LG logo, then on, off again, then on and so on...

            So far I have measured the power supply unit, which delivers 19.21V and should therefore be OK. I removed the circuit board and connected it to the mains plug so that I could hear the coil beeping.

            During the beeping, I pressed on the coils with a non-conductive tool to see if the sound changed and to find...

            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...

            Xbox Series X
            by ryogadan78
            Good morning guys,
            I am resuming an old service on an Xbox X Series that I really want to repair. I summarise what has been done because I can't find my previous post.

            The Xbox initially did not turn on, no LED, no beep. Found short circuit on the 12V connector on the bottom board. Injecting 1.5V on the positive side of one of the shorted capacitors to find with the thermal camera which capacitor was shorted, no gave me useful information. The board draws 2.80A (1.5V), but from the thermal camera images I don't see any component getting hot.
            I removed the coils one by...

            Audio Issues - Realtek ALC3306 - Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14ARP8 - Type 83AX
            by SoulFreeze
            Hi, trying to troubleshoot some problems with this laptop I just finished repairing which had power issues (Burnt Buck converter - SY8883DFC shorted to ground).

            After repairing the above issue, I realized the following remaining problem,
            Sound only comes from bottom speakers, top palmrest speakers don't work. Neither does the headphone jack (static/buzzing).
            The computer recognizes headphones are connected and displays a popup in windows
            Sometimes, the computer will boot up and the sound will be working fine. However, if I run intensive programs and the computer...

            Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
            by BMCappelletti
            Long story short:
            - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
            - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
            - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
            - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
            (seems like the story was not that short)

            He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...
