    Help: HP Spectre Convertable Power IC Identification

    I am trying to identify what I think is a buck-bost chip that creates what might be 3V
    There are no markings on the board.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    This is the computer info:
    HP Spectre X360 Convertible
    Model 15-eb0043dx
    Product ID: 9GB29UA#ABA
    Mainboard: DA0X3BMBAF0
    MB Part Number: L95650-601
    MB Description: MOTHERBOARD DSC MX250 2GB i7-10510U 16GB WIN

    What I have done to diagnose and testfor the problem and why I think it is this chip:
    Mainboard will not POST or turn on when power button pressed.
    With the power cord plugged into the computer I get a battery charging LED, Amber/Orange when power plugged in with battery.
    USB voltage check shows 20V going in and 2+ Amp draw with battery plugged in.
    Main Voltage rail does not look to be shorted as expected since battery looks to be charging.
    Searched coil voltages and found 5V rail, but the coil/rail next to it was only giving 0.1mv
    I would expect this to be my 3V rail.
    Under a thermal camera I can see the chip responsible for making this rail's voltage is getting hot, unlike the 5V.
    It also looks like it is trying to start, but fails then tries again. The chip heats up then cools then heats up again.
    Measurements:
    Coil on the output measures 0.346 in diode mode
    Input voltage is 13.21V
    Missing 3V on what might be gate, diode mode 0.596?
    4.97 volts on what might be power good?
    No voltage out.

    Again I am trying to identify what I think is a buck-bost chip that creates what might be 3V
    ID markings on the chip are L8=7G then P0C​

    Any chip with xx= is Richtek. L8= is RT6256BGQUF. QUANTA X3A DA0X3AMBAG0 schematic uses the same chip for reference.

    More likely to be a load issue. Direct resistance checks sometimes are misleading, as a short can be after a diode or load switch.

      ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
      by DynaxSC
      Hi

      I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
      The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
      The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
      The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

      I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

      HP Spectre x360 -DA0X36MBAE0 wont turn on after battery change - Chip identification required
      by AJ847.63e
      i all,

      Cab anyone identify this chip? Pics attached. It's marked L8=6E 74L.

      History: laptop came from a e-cycler. Dropped off a few laptops wanting to get rid of them so he asked if we wanted them, apparently he tried swapping the battery on this one and acidentally broke the tip of the battery connector and plugged the battery in upside down.
      All readings on the battery pin seem normal though (comparing to a working same model board).
      Connecting the charger you can see the above mentioned chip pulsing so it looks like its going into protection mode, but checking...

      Need help with GIGABYTE B550 UD AC REV 1.0 chip identification
      by Sunday1302
      I removed this chip with markings "14 8A SA4" between an HDMI port and a USB port that was faulty. I need to replace it, but I have not been able to properly identify this chip using the markings provided on the chip itself. If anyone is able to provide information regarding this chip, I would greatly appreciate it....

      Common SPI bios chip programming Questions and Answers
      ----------------------------------------------------------

      Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

      A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

      Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

      A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

      The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

      Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

      Bad...

      Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
      by Nagy Daniel
      Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

      I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

      I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

      So, I generated a table with AI so I can...
