    acer an515-55 pch controller was replaced

    several rails were shorted and the pch controller was replaced to resolve the issue. now i don't get any LEDs and no powering up at all. when i press the power button several power rails show up (3valwp, 105valwp 1.8valwp)

    Whenever you replace the PCH the intel ME firmware must be cleaned in the bios. Here`s some guides https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...22#post1622422 . If you can`t do it yourself post a request in the bios requests forum

      Where did you source the replacement PCH from? Was it new or a device pull? Biggest issue with PCH replacement is getting one that actually works.

      I would still expect it to boot with a dirty ME, albeit very slowly.

          seems illogical that the clean ME would fix a no power issue

            If the PCH was good it would still need doing anyway.

                i've replaced the pch with a brand new one and that got the laptop working again. Is it possible for an m.2 SSD to short a pch?

                  Acer AN515-57, Recovering Thunderbolt Controller After Erasing Firmware on UT3 SPI ROM of Intel® JHL8040R Retimer
                  by Danghaibang
                  Hello everyone,

                  About a year ago, I accidentally erased the firmware on the SPI ROM of a Thunderbolt retimer in my computer, mistaking it for the main BIOS chip. Since then, the Thunderbolt controller no longer appears in Device Manager, and I'm unable to use Thunderbolt functionality.

                  For context, my system has two retimers: UT5 and UT3. The one I erased is the UT3, which uses a W25Q80DVSSIG chip. In an attempt to fix this, I used a CH341A programmer to copy the ROM data from the UT5 retimer to the UT3, hoping it would restore functionality. Unfortunately, this didn't...
