    HP Notebook With Strange Defect Does Not Turn On

    Hi Guys, I have a HP DAX12AMB6D0 REV.D with a strange defect, that is on the 2nd mosfet on the power supply, the gate voltage does not reach 25V but pulses... if I try to touch some capacitors with my fingers, the voltage on the gate reaches 25V and the notebook turns on.
    I have already tried to change the charging connector, PU1 and PQ20 but I have not obtained any result, the problem still persists.
    Here are the voltages that I find ON PU1:
    Pin 1 - Pulses between 2 and 3v
    Pin 2 - Pulses between 2 and 3v
    Pin 3 - Pulses between 2 and 3v
    Pin 4 - Pulses between 2 and 3v
    Pin 5 - 0v
    Pin 6 - 2.6v
    Pin 7 - 0.07v
    Pin 28 - 19V

    Here is the link to the diagram and the boardview:​

      Which capacitor are you touching? Customer is against this idea as a solution?

      Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode.

      Measure the resistance across the mosfet @ PQ20 (2nd DCin mosfet):

      source / drain
      source / gate
      gate / drain


      Post each measurement. Each measurement should be hundreds of k ohms or higher else could be defective.

        Thanks for the reply, I confirm that they are all very high resistances, I also tried to change the PQ20 mosfet but the result does not change, I also changed the charger... same defect

          Asus X532FL 3.2V at source and gate
          by Lvsitano
          I am having some trouble with troubleshooting a Asus X532FL rev 2.0 motherboard, which does not power on. So at the first MOSFET, I am getting 19V at the drain, and then 3.2V on both gate and source (compared with ground). Of course, the 2nd MOSFET's source will have 3.2v at source.

          First MOSFET is a QM3056M6 and 2nd MOSFET is a QM0930M3

          I already checked first MOSFET and source and gate are not shorted (drain with source not shorted either). Also I have 1.7V at the LDO rail (measured at the keyboard connector, as the power button is on the keyboard).

          First...

          Macbook Dust-Gate Preventive Cleaning
          by howardc64
          Just did this on my 2021 13" MBP M1. Dust-Gate design flaw still present. Depending on cleanliness of the operation environment (often eating while using MB is probably the worst). Periodic cleaning is probably warranted.

          Note this is quite challenging effort. One misstep will damage the LCD flex and render it useless. So take it to someone more experienced if uncertain.

          MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A 5V Rail Pulses (on & off)
          by junda
          hi, i also have the same (P5V_S4RS3) MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A 5V Rail Pulses (on & off) The strange thing is when I kept machine for 1 day and connect the power It powers on with Chime and booots half way with Apple logo and stuck. at that time when I power of and try power up Fan spins for few seconds and goes off with no P5V_S4RS3 and also the P5V_S4RS3 EN pulses on and off with 3,24 V. Plezzz doesn any one can help me

          MOSFET no voltage at gate Quanta G7HA DAG7HAMB8EO
          by irfan karatela
          I'm working on a HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15-eh1508sa that is missing 19v. I've looked at the schematics and want to know what conditions the ISL9238C checks before it enables the gate for MOSFETs PQ8200 and PQ8201,

          I havent found any shorts on the board.

          I get 19v at +PRWSRC but around 1.7v at the Drain of PQ8201(+vin)

          On Page 82 of the attachment. Link to schematic - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ilion-laptop-p...

          Sharp LC-55LE643U, bad gate drivers?
          by wagivem657
          Just received a busted Sharp 55" Aquos (LC-55LE643U) from a coworker. He tried swapping all three boards (power, main, TCON) to fix the problem, but it had the same issue. He was kind enough to give me the TV and both sets of boards for free, so I can try to get it working for myself.

          Unfortunately, I think I may have made the problem (much) worse, but I'm interested to see if the original problem was fixable at all regardless...

          Pictures show the issues:
