    DELL Alienwere P48E LA-K472P, power rail error

    I am working on "power rail error". No shorts, spill liquids, visible damages. Just a pure failure somwhere. So, where did I get to?
    if you look at page 5, there is a power sequence diagram. All measurements up to sequence number 19 are ok. The process stops at sequence 20 PCH_THERMTRIP#. The PCH is separate and operates normally on power 3.3V ALW and 1.8V ALW. Where is the hack?

    Shematic and BV link
    Need schematic or board view GDS70 LA-K472P DELL ALIENWARE X17 R1 thank​

    Looks like a temperature measuring resistor is probably broken or gone.

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
      by Victor Moreira Silva
      Hello everyone,

      I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

      Well, my decice specs are the following:

      Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
      CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
      GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
      Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

      The symptom:
      When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

      Dell Optiplex 7490 AIO - red power led after flash
      by Mark01
      Hi guys,

      This is my first post! 🚀
      I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m learning by trial and error.

      I’m currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490—one of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...

      Dell inspiron 17 (7786) - DP/N 09P7JP - odd power issues, starting with no power LED
      by zlr8r
      hey guys, hoping for some pointers to repair an eBay bought "faulty" laptop.

      Ill try and give as much info as I can.

      Dell Inspiron 17 (7786) Laptop
      Service Tag: 5J0NHT2
      Bios: 1.9.0

      When I received this , it would only flicker on the KB backlight for a second, then off and on.
      Then it started getting weirder!
      Sometimes when attaching the AC power supply, and pressing various pre-boot diagnostic keyboard keys... it did try to boot, in fact out of a hundred attempts, the laptop did actually boot into the Bios ! but never has...

      Acer TravelMate P214 - N19Q7 main power rail shorted to ground
      by mkdj
      Dear all,

      I have taken out the motherboard of a Acer TravelMate P214. There is a short to ground on the main power rail (19V). I don't have the schematics or boardview for this board (DAZ8IMB1AA0 REVA). But I have found 4 MOSFETS close to the main power rail : 2 N-Channel and 2 P-Channel.

      I have checked resistance across each of the 4 MOSFETS. I have the following readings:
      Both N-Channel Mosfets: nothing odd

      P-Channel MOSFET number 1:
      source - drain : 117 kOhm
      source - gate: 96 Ohm
      gate - drain: 117 kOhm


      P-Channel MOSFET...
