    Lenovo 15IMH05 Power Issue

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my laptop. I just short circuit the eDP cable by an accident. Then i try to open it. i press the power button it was powered the rgb keyboard but after a few seconds and it just shut down. When i opened it up and unplug everything from motherboard i can't see any physical damage from ICs, capacitors and MOSFETs. I found a broken fuse FG3. But it just powers up LCD Display. I try to power it on with DC Adapter and feel some heat from an IC. IC is repeatedly power on and off. I tracked the schematic and i found some MOSFET and main 5V/3.3V controller. After that i figured there is short circuit from 3.3V MOSFET side. When i check the MOSFET and IC, there is no problem with it. I followed the tracks and i found the which side has short circuit is. I desoldered J7 jump and short circuit was gone. But i can't find where is it. I checked capacitors, fuses, resistors and ic's (+3VALW track) but i can't find it. I suspect PCH chipset however i can't be sure and i don't have equipment to desolder it and check. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Which side of J7 jumper is showing low resistance to GND(after desoldering it)? Very likely its +3VALW_PCH side. What's the exact resistance to GND with no power attached?

    If my doubt is true, very likely PCH is shorted.

      Lenovo L490 Ram voltage circuit malfunction
      by rddube
      Hello friends,

      Looking for some guidance here. The RAM voltage circuit on this motherboard keeps burning out PU301 which is a RT8231AGQW. Copy of the board with the burnt chip attached with some voltage measurements and copy of the schematics also included.

      I think I've checked almost every component in the circuit, but when I change the RT8231, the laptop starts I have 1.2V on the inductor for about 10 seconds and then the RT8231 goes south and no more voltage on the inductor. All other voltages on the laptop are good, this is the only one conking out for a reason I...

      Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
      by aaronkatrini
      Hi all,

      Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

      Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

      Nintendo Switch lite charging chip heats up and does not short circuit
      by fab13
      Hello everyone


      Small technical problem on a Nintendo Switch lite
      Here's what I noticed: the USB port has been damaged internally, with a short circuit on the power supply line to the small fuse.

      After replacing the USB connector, the short circuit went away and I can't see any other short circuit in the whole motherboard.

      When I charge the console, it seems to be charging: I get 15 volts and an amperage of 0.450 A.

      Then, after a while, the amperage increases to 1.1 A and the BQ24193 charging chip starts to heat up, as evidenced...

      Short Circuit tester
      by Tarot Superstars
      Hello.
      I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
      The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.
