    DELL G15 RYZEN EDITION LA-K454P disable gpu

    Hi friends, I have a problem with this laptop. It gives me a processor error, but when I measure the processor, it has power, heats up, etc.
    But at first I thought maybe it was the BIOS. I tried reprogramming it, but nothing.
    After that, I measured the graphics card and realized that the graphics card has no power.
    So I lifted the power coils and checked that there is power, but when it reaches the GPU, they go to ground.

    With a thermal camera, I realized that it apparently has a short in a VRAM. After removing the short, it goes to the GPU.
    So my question is, is there any way to disable the GPU? And that it only works with the processor.

      Seeking boardview+schematics for Dell G15 5515 Ryzen Edition LA-K453p
      by trepachka
      Model: Dell G15 5515 Ryzen Edition
      Motherboard: LA-K453p
      Service Tag# 838W8R3

      Computer is currently dead, 20V doesn't go beyond the first 2 mosfets as there is 0V on the gate. My next order of business would be to find the charging circuit, ie the charging chip.

      It would be great if someone uploaded boardview+schematics for it.

      Thanks.

      Dell G15 Ryzen Edition Display's on External Only
      by justice171
      Good day, BadCaps Technician Team,

      I hope this finds you well.

      I am reaching out for assistance with a Dell G15 Ryzen Edition laptop that I am currently troubleshooting.

      The laptop successfully posts on an external screen, but the main screen remains unresponsive. Below are the steps I have taken so far:
      1. Ordered and replaced the LCD panel and LCD cable.
      2. Verified that the 19V power rail for the backlight is present.

      Despite these efforts, the main screen still does not post. I am unsure of the next steps to identify and resolve the issue.
