I got Acer Aspire A715-42G, no 19v going through the DC-IN mosfet. I also checked the components/power rails downstream and no short detected (gpu and cpu rails are at 2-10 ohms)
I have checked that there's no gate voltage on the DC-IN mosfet, so I checked if PUB1 has power.
Turns out there's no 19v going into PUB1 VCC caused by a burnt 10 ohm resistor (PRB12 - 19v stops here).
Replaced the part but it burned when I plugged in the charger - telling me there's something pulling high current.
I checked the resistance of PCB16 and it was fine.
I measured the resistance from VCC to ground and measured 4 ohms (PRB12 and PCB16 removed) - other pins of PUB1 had 10ohms and above.
I think the 4 ohms VCC to ground is too low for this chip (BQ24781) - need your inputs if this is normal or need to look elsewhere.
