    Alienware 13 R3 repair - power issue or bad super-IO?

    Greetings and Salutations!

    I have BAP00 board in front of me, which does not want to turn on. Nothing except for the AC power is connected.

    +3VLP - present
    RTC power - present // no battery connected

    * +3VALW - present
    * +5VALW - present

    * +LAN_IO - 0.00V
    * +3V_PCH - 0.05V
    * +1VALW - 0.00V
    * +1V_PCH_PRIM - 0.00V // same rail as +1VALW

    Note : ON* means that this power plane is ON only with AC power available, otherwise it is OFF

    +1VALW - 47Ohms
    +3V_PCH - MOhm range
    +LAN_IO - 100KOhm range

    I guess that since the power cord is connected and the PCH_PWR_EN signal from the GPIO-107 pin of the KB9022QD is not present, the chip might be faulty. How can I verify my assumption?
    What else could be wrong?

    Thanks in advance and best regards from Germany!

    My bad,
    * +3VALW - present
    * +5VALW - present
    are turned on by the super-IO.

      Nonsens, the super IO is powerd by +3VALW, I do not know what I traced back on the pcb to write what I earlier postet.

        Power adapter is the original for this unit?

        Have you tested with a known good bios for this board? Be sure to backup the original before reflashing.

          Post links to the schematic/boardview, they are already posted in the schematic requests section https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...f-this-section

            I do not have the original adapter, but I have a very similar one from Dell.
            No flash is being powered, except for the UT2, which is connected to the TPS65982 USB-C controller.

              820-02337 MBP M2 strange behavior. No S2 Voltage present
              by nicoar10
              Hello, I’m checking a board 820-02773 that arrived showing 5V and a consumption of 0.40A. Present voltages: PPBUS: 12.3V, PP3V08_AON: 3.8V, 5V_AON: 5V. I also have 3.3_UPC present on the USB controllers.

              The problem is that I don’t have any S2 voltage present on the motherboard. The PMIC U8100 is not sending out the LDO voltages. Even so, the PMIC is being powered correctly with 3.8V, and its 3.8V and 5V boost voltages are present, as well as its 32kHz clock. However, none of the buck or LDO rails are present.

              I’ve tried replacing the PMIC, but the result is the...

              JS47A/JS57A/JS77A NM-E531 onboard ram disable
              by rex98
              hi i have this laptop IdeaPad 3 15ABA7 this is the boardview https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...90#post3740490

              nm-e531 i tried all kinds of bios editing and it doesn't work. it doesn't have schematic but it has boardview with board ID details in it.
              maybe you could help me how to shift these resistors to disable its onboard ram.

              this is is the presents and not presents...
