      When I press the power button power LED glowing at the same time OFF. The standby voltage ic TPS51123RGER-GP hot and 3D3V_AUX_S5, 5V_AUX_S5 voltages are normal but no 5V_S5 and 3D3V_S5.

        If getting hot it may be shorted. What about removing it and checking pads for shorts. If no shorts replace TPS51123. The schematic is available here https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=28239. Page 41 has the voltages for the various pins with 5V.

          Now I have the same problem with a Toshiba A500 and TPS51117 getting hot and not having correct voltages.

            If TPS is hot without pressing power button, then check VREG3 and VREG5 for shorts. VREG3 is more likely (EC, BIOS or LAN). If you have lab PSU, then use it.

              Re: Dell N5110 Not Power ON

              My n5110 got shorted when I was trying to fix my touchpad while the laptop was on. I accidentally dropped a small screw on the board and it died right away. After inspection i found out that there is no 3.3v_s5 or 5v_s5 but i did have Vreg3 and Vreg5 voltage. I also noticed the whole 3.3v_s5 rail is shorted. I lifted up the mosfets of TPS51123 and TPS51123 itself but still couldn't find the short. Can anyone help me with this stupid short which I can't find?

                I think that you might be looking at an ICs short and not at a short in a MOSFET.
                I recommend tracing the points that you shorted to the components they are attached to. And testing those if possible.
                Can you also post pictures of the shorted area?

                P.S. Have you tested the power supply? And what happens to it's output voltage when plugged into the laptop?

                  3V_5V_EN this voltage is not stable sometime 0.9v or 1.09v .Normal voltage 3V_5V_EN ? What is the actual voltage of 3V_5V_EN.

                    This is a control signal to turn on SMPS, without it only the LDO outputs will have voltage. It should be at least 3.3V to turn the SMPS on, the logical low level can be anything reasonable below it. Look for short at VREG3 and VREG5. Have you measured resistance at these points?

                      I did check other IC's as well but still no luck.

                      IC's that I checked by lifting them to find a shot are

                      TPS51311 = 1.8V_S0 (takes 3.3v_S5 as input)
                      TPS51116 =1.5v
                      ISL95831= VCC core
                      Bios
                      3.3v mosfet
                      5v mosfet
                      TPS51123 = only vreg3 and vreg5 voltages. I disconnected the 5v rail and 3.3v rail by lifting up the inductors. No short before the inductor though, I think the IC is gone( it gets hot when i plug the supply).

                      The capacitor on PCH(HM67) is also showing a short

                      I feel that HM67 is causing the short and considering removal of PCH (quite expensive here)

                      Any suggestion?

                        Re: Dell N5110 Not Power ON

                        There is no short at VREG3 and VREG5. Yesterday I got display but few seconds same problem, again I check this 5V_S5 and 3D3V_S5 is 0.5v only.

                                          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.

                                          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. ๐Ÿ˜…

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

                                          Hi guys,

                                          This is my first post! ๐Ÿš€
                                          I have no idea what Iโ€™m doing, but Iโ€™m learning by trial and error.

                                          Iโ€™m currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490โ€”one of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...
