    Asus M3500QA R2.1 missing 3.3 and 5 volts

    Hello. Main power rail and secondary power rail working, but 3.3 and 5 volts is missing. the ec chip has 3.3 volts except that all neighbouring components around ec chip either 0 volts or half volt. tested for shorts can't find anything. i have also included picture of 3.3/5volt chip. there is missing ac detect signal. any help? When pressing power button the 3.3 v drops and then goes back to 3.3 vafter letting go of the button
    5 v coil and 3.3 v coil has very high resistance.

    Hi. The enable for the always on rails is often created by the main 19v power rail and resistor based voltage dividers or driven by the ec. The ec is often powered by a local rtc / coin cell battery. Is there one on this board? Check and confirm if that rtc battery is depleted. Replace it if cr2032 style which die after a few years. We fixed at least 3 units with replacing only this EC battery.

    The always on rails will usually provide a switching leg for the higher currents and also a low current LDO rail. Review the datasheet for these regulators and confirm that the LDO rails are not shorted.

    Are they on? Which regulators exactly are onboard for the 3v3 and 5v0 legs?

      Hi everyone .
      I have model g712l And In stuck.
      Originally this laptop has a short on main Power rail . Thé main short is gone, i have found 2 pea16b mosfets Next to the SN51285ARUKR shorted , and the Chip Intself was Also shorted , i have removed them and main Power rail IS not shorted anymore , but right Now im still eating for this parts And in checking rest of the board . But pin 14 od the SN51285ARUKR when this chip od removed is shorted to ground Its +5VSUS has 6ohms , And that can not be , i have check mosfets All over the board And i have found ONLY one tahat ís shorted its...

      Asus TUF F15 (TUF506HC) – RTX 3050 not detected, missing GPU rail and low VRAM voltage
      by Moddingscreen
      Hello everyone,

      I have an Asus TUF F15 (TUF506HC) on my bench. Originally it had a broken display, so I replaced the panel with one taken from a Lenovo Legion, which uses the same 40-pin connector.

      After replacing the screen, it still remained black. Later I discovered that the display power fuse was blown. After replacing the fuse, the display started working again and now shows the image correctly; everything appears to function normally.

      However, the problem is that the laptop no longer detects the dedicated GPU (RTX 3050). It does not appear in Device...
