    Lenovo Ideapad3 NM-C821 faulty motherboard

    Hello all,

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad3 laptop, that has recently stopped working. When pressing the power button, the led is going on, but nothing else is happening.

    I have checked the 3.3V, 5V and 20V - all of them seem present (checked with multimeter and oscilloscope in order to verify that they are stable).
    I have checked the voltages around PU1901 - 0.9V, 1.8V, 5V, 2.5v, 0.6V and 1.2V - all of them are present.

    Now going further in the debug, I found that the CPU voltages produced by RT3662AC (PU5901) PWM driver are missing. I can see that the 20V are present on PQ5901.

    Now I have tested the procedure described in the RT3662AC datasheet, where we have:
    Click image for larger version  Name:	image.png Views:	0 Size:	29.9 KB ID:	3738916
    I can see the pulse on the EN pin, and the VDD, but PGOOD remains 0, and of course the UGATE is also 0. That is why I am starting to think that the RT3662AC is faulty.

    Do you think that there is something else that I can test, before trying to replace the IC? The 0.8Vref from the RT3662AC are present, but looking at the datasheet diagram, this voltage is produced from another part of the IC.

    Thanks in advance,
    Mitko

    Strange battery present behaviour in Lenovo Legion 5-15ARH05 mb model nm-d041
    by ferah831208
    Hello guys, i need help with this problem, I have a NM-D041 mobo, it came with low impedance in 3v linear regulator rail, the cause was a damaged EC controller ITE8227e-192. I ordered a new one and replaced it. This laptop have a different chip for keyboard management and it8227e pins for programming ITE chips are not accesible through keyboard interface, I flashed it using i2c interface pins with vertyanov programmer because laptop was dead and SPI flash didn't have power (only 3v EC) so it couldn't access firmware stored in SPI memory. I read SPI and extracted it8227 firmware from original BIOS...

    Hello,

    I have a Lenovo MB LC40CM 19863-1 when press button is pushed the keyboard backlight turns on and off twice and the power button light keeps blinking and the fans spins for a few seconds and stops then again spins and stops (Three times) then laptop turns off. no image on screen. sometime when you leave it for few days it will turn on and work but once you restart it won't turn on.

    Tried to reball RAM 1,2,3,4
    Checked all voltages on big coils all present except 1V_VCCGT is not present I get 0V on this rail. is this voltage should be present once power button...

    Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen4 - Faulty Bios or what is going on?
    by AYsys
    Hello dear forum members,

    I own two Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen 4 laptops. One of them had a touchscreen problem, and I tried to fix it by externally flashing the BIOS. Unfortunately, I didn’t save the original BIOS and accidentally flashed it with a faulty one. After that, the device stopped working completely.

    I then had the idea to make a BIOS backup from the other Yoga X1 Gen 4 (same hardware) and flash it onto the non-working device.
    Nothing was flashed here — the BIOS was only backed up.

    I created the backup using a CH341A Black programmer and NeoProgrammer....
