    Dell E6430S No screen help request

    I receive an wrong Dell E6430S, Not start no have screen.
    Spec:
    S mean Slim, not normal "fat" E6430, CPU soldered BGA CPU: i5-3340M SR0XB
    Motherboard: Compal LA-7741P QAL70 r1.0 A00


    Symptom:
    Not start no have screen, no have backlight (full black), but board is working, Status LEDs ok, CPU start to hot and Fan spin up. Northbrigs also hot.
    Main Battery charging, and can run form battery (run means you can turn off, CPU is hot, fan works)

    Looks like everthings ok, but not work

    I changed Memory, plug out SSD,(SSD ok), Keyboard plug out ..same.
    Cmos battery voltage 2.9V
    Memory voltage ok,
    External screen D-Sub VGA same, no have screen. (mini HDMI not checked, i no have adapter)
    USB 5v ok
    As I can measure has voltage CPU 1.0 ok 0.9V and etc...

    but missing
    +VCC_GFXCORE 0V
    PQ24 and PQ21 fet High switching (power)
    PQ25 and PQ26 fet Low switching (GND)
    But basic Gate controlling also missing

    +GFX_DHB and +GFX_DLB 0V
    It is comes from PU9 MAX17511GTL+T_TQFN40
    But this IC related for cpu core voltage too. And that is good...I don't know why not start


    I have post card TL611 Pro (with mini pciexpress adapter)
    Power plug in ->start immediatelly just power on led light. CPU heating -> Postcard start to drop numbers and characters...and finally stop at "98."
    Power off with button -> Fan speed up and turn off.
    Power On button-> looks like start, Post card start to drop numbers and characters...and finally stop at " d7"

    If I wait CPU will be Hot and Fan start.....cold temp-> fan stop and again... So looks like GPU area not works.. or I don't know.
    Based on internet search "d7" means:
    “No console input device found ” . Please ensure you have a keyboard plugged in the system.
    and
    "98" means: just Input devices initialization

    Keyboard Ps2 Fan etc U51
    MEC5055-LZY_DQFN132

    Have you got idea?
    Please help a little bit.

    GFXCORE is quite irrevalent for diagnosing the problem as it will rise under load only and you simply cant measure it with multimeter. You need a scope to do that.
    Is your mb posting? Connect a usb keybaord and check whether numlock key glows on toggle.
    I beleive its not posting so will be futile to check gfxcore and display.

      Yes it is not posting, just debug card show 98 or d7
      I try the USB keyboard, nothing happen, not show numlock leds.., But USB 5V is ok. Mosuse light on normal USB port and Esata/ USB too.

      I start to check voltage on keyboard conn, but looks like ok +3,3V or 5V

      Dell laptops need every time the Keyboard?
      I mean I not attach keyB+touch -> Fail I attach the keyboard+touch, ->Fail Becasue keyboard is maybe not good.
      So should be start without keyboard?

      Bios can be cause this problem?
      I found 6430s file here.. but I'm afraid i create an new problem on board.

        If its not posting,your focus should be on diagnosing the mb and not keybaord.
        Check whether DRAMRST# is present or not.

          Ok i will check

          Additional information Pressing "D" button ->Screen tunr on and Red, blue Green White pattern change again and again . Test patterns.
          So Looks like screen is ok. Maybe.
          ...and If i press D button, it means keyboard is good?
          Memory voltage 1.5V present.
          When I remove DDR3 memory, appear different error code and flashing the 3 leds (battery, HDD, wifi) on keyboard frame... And as i read it is an DELL error code.

          Ok i will check DRAMRST#

              When I was away to trow some garbage i always look in the electronic bin.
              and this time i find a laptop.
              Dell G3 15 3500, when I get home i look at the battery, add one harddrive, plug in the powercord.

              dell e6540 boots to black screen (no dell logo)
              by jake-b
              good morning all,

              i purchased a used dell e6540 laptop used 10 months ago from a vendor on ebay. intel i-7 processor, 16 gb ddr3 memory, 256 gb ssd., mobo la-9413p (rev 1.0 dated 2014-08-04). i've inflicted no damage on it since purchase but its past is unknown. starting 2 weeks ago it began to fail to boot (initially 9 of 10 boot attempts failed, now 10 of 10 fail). there was no new hardware or software added (i was using as a kodi video server). the post process doesn't complete and booting no longer displays the dell logo screen - screen remains black with no backlight. some other...

              Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
              by Ryan.man
              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

              Dell XPS Plus 9320 blue screen and rebooting
              by siuras676
              Hi everyone,
              I have a Dell XPS 9320 in for repair, and the machine has a strange issue.

              First, a bit of history: the laptop came in after liquid damage and was completely dead. I've repaired all the broken traces, replaced the damaged components, and it now powers on.

              However, it's now showing a Windows blue screen related to hardware (as seen in the picture), along with another Dell error I've never seen before.

              Has anyone encountered this issue on a Dell machine before and could point me in the right direction? I've checked the power rails around...
