    ASUS G731G power on loop after repair attempt

    Hello everybody, I replaced the power plug of my Asus G731GW-EV123T (i7 9750h - 16gb - RTX2070) because the plug would overheat if not kept pressed in with a finger.

    After soldering the new connector and checking for shorts on the soldered feet the pc has a new problem.

    The pc starts up as soon as i plug the power, even if I disconnect the power button, but i get no video signal and after a while it turns off.

    Where can I start troubleshooting?

    Thanks

    Hello, here's more details on the board:

    G531GW REV 1.5

    I started checking the board and found that with power plugged in the main coils (8v, 5v and 3,3v) seems to carry the correct voltage, same goes for the CPU coils.

    GPU side things do not look good. I get 0ohm on all the inductors, what can I check next?

    on a side note I noticed that the first mosfet after the power plug has a deep scratch on the top surface (see pic), I must have damaged it while removing the old power plug, checking source and drain in diode mode gives the same value of the neighboring one, should I consider replacing it

      Hello,

      I think your mofset is fine.
      If you take out the battery and maybe cmos battery, that's normal laptop start automaticly.

      Gpu Line have a very low résistance near 0ohm.


      check ram, edp câble, are well plugged. (Test With one stick Of ram / one slot after another…
      be patient, post can be very long after removing battery
      You can try With hdmi without edp câble (don't Forget to plug out battery before touching edp câble)

      send more photos of D.C. jack area to see if everything is in the right place

        Thanks for the reply and the information on the gpu resistance.

        I'll try what you mentioned in the next days and I'll update, I really hope I have not broken the edp cable, or worse connector, I've been very careful with it.

        Here's a picture of the soldering made on the power connector, it is a bit rough since is my second dime soldering on a board, the small pin in the center looks shorted to positive but is not

          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.

          Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
          by PantherDave
          Hi all!

          I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

          I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

          ASUS TUF X570-PLUS doesn't power on: no VRM_EN signal.
          by ShadowAi
          Hello, I have an issue with the motherboard. Specifically, it doesn't power on, more precisely, the POST initialization doesn't occur.

          Let me start from the beginning, the motherboard suddenly stopped working one day. There are no beep signals from the speaker, and the debug LEDs are not lighting up. After inspecting it under a microscope and using thermal imaging, I didn't find anything that could be damaged.

          After that, I began voltage measurements, in which I noticed the absence of VDDQ, VDDP, VTT, and VPP lines. Later, I checked if there is an EN state on these lines,...

          Hello, I have an asus Z97-A motherboard and it doesn't start which was working properly before, the problem isn't related by ram, ram slots or psu (I changed all and nothing work), the exact problem is when you switch it on , it starts and after 1 seconds (no boot or display picture) it's off and then on cycle continuously until you power it off from psu also it's responding to the power switch for turning it off if you keep pressing it 3 or 4 seconds (power button pin has 3.3v) , also when you start it with eatx 12v socket connected this is happening (power cycle also all voltages are resetting...
