Hello guys,
I have a problem with my laptop as in the title, black screen, capslock displays error code 5 long 3 short, no voltage on the coils above the CPU, before removing the drive I had 0.8v there, power led flashed 5x long and the battery would not charge (current jumped from 0.5a to 2.8a), now on the power led I have a steady white light or orange when the battery is connected.
What I did:
- Laptop was not detecting ram, loose pins on ram slot, error 3.2 disappeared, ram working tested in another laptop
As far as I know the laptop was in another service center before I bought it, they found a cracked motherboard (probably based on not detecting ram). They soldered something around the USB port and BIOS because I found traces of flux there.
I backed up the bios and tried to upload the original one from HP's website but it didn't change anything.
In the picture I posted what I already measured. I am counting immensely on your help and I apologize for my language, English is not my first language.
Laptop spec:
CPU: i5 8200u
GPU: mx130
MOBO:g7a-2g da0g7ambd1
