    DELL P40G (LA-9591P REV 1.0) no power

    Hello, I have a laptop DELL P40G (LA-9591P REV 1.0) that does not work, when I press the power button, the start LED sometimes lights up then goes out immediately.

    I checked everything on the motherboard, no short, even the processor has good resistance, no liquid damage.

    So I started to check the S5 voltages, I'm missing it +3.3V_M and +1.05V_M.

    PU300 and U45 are well powered with +5V_ALW but PU300 does not give +1.05V_M (no EN_+V1.05SP neither​), and U45 does not give +3.3V_M, there are no shorts around.

    schematic and bordview : https://www.badcaps.net/forum/docume...ew#post3479536

    Can you help me understand and find where the problem comes from please, I am not an expert

    SIO_SLP_A# : 0V, the processor is dead?

      Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode. Measure the resistance to ground of the VCORE power rail used to power the CPU. Share the measurement in ohms.

          CPU is not shorted with such a high resistance.

          Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode. Measure the resistance to ground of +3.3V_M. What is the resistance in ohms? U45 loadswitch may be defective.

            yes I was also surprised to have a processor with such high resistance, it's the first time I've seen that

            +3.3V_M : 0,488 MOHMS

              Check the voltage to ground of pins 5, 6, 7 on U45.

                    You have shared the resistance for the above pins.

                    Check the voltage on these pins (with the power or battery attached) to confirm the voltage is appearing at the input of the load switch AND the load switch is being enabled. Under this condition, the output voltage must be available unless the switch is defective. The output is not shorted so no reason for the voltage to be absent.

                      Yes sorry, pin 6-7: 3V3. pin 5: 0V => same with the battery connected

                        Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                        by Bowline
                        My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                        Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                        My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                        The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.

                        by F R 2568
                        Hello all,

                        this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

                        I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:

                        If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

                        When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

                        The power/battery...

                        Looking for Dell Latitude 5520 / 5530 / 5540 RJ45 network connector replacement
                        by diamon
                        I have a Dell Latitude 5530 with a damaged RJ45 network connector. See the attached pictures.

                        Have already searched on Farnell / Aliexpress / Ebay and had contact with several suppliers on Aliexpress and Ebay, but they cannot deliver this connector.
                        Is there someone inside the EU, who has these connector(s) or perhaps defective motherboard(s) for these laptop models I have mentioned in the topic title.

                        Dell 5410 greyed out BT
                        by OntarioTL
                        Well I've learned something new today. Of all the Dell laptops I've come across I have never seen bluetooth greyed out, and only to learn this is during the build from Dell factory. I've tried to pull the original BIOS and fix with another dell with the same issue on the forums, however the original was not recovered from the forum upgrade so I cannot do a comparison to attempt the fix on my own.

                        If someone could help me out with this unit and I'll try the next one as so far I have 2 on my desk with this issue. Thanks in advance!

                        Dell G5 SE 5505 - "Invalid memory installed" after BIOS update.
                        by lalle-
                        Hello!

                        I have a problem with a Dell G5 SE 5505 laptop that I hope someone can give me a few pointers on.
                        [OK, it's not really a laptop, I'm running the motherboard on my desktop with only cooling, RAM and an M2 drive attached.]
                        I had some performance issues, so I decided to update my BIOS from 1.7.0 to the latest version, 1.20.0.
                        The computer restarted and the update dit not want to continue without a battery connected, even though I used dell's method of bypassing this requirement.
                        I tried updating to a custom BIOS from Reddit user Satori_Nori https://www...
