    Toshiba C660 no power

    Hello, i have a Toshiba C660 with motherboard LA-6842P.
    There's no lights or fan when i power with my bench supply.
    No voltage at the power switch, but i have tested it is working.
    I can find 18.90v around the charging section but no 3v or 5v.
    18.9v is also present at PQ21 and PQ22 but there are no other voltages.
    Is that suggesting PU6 ?
    Any other suggestions ?
    Thanks.

    First check the rails for shorts to ground. PU6 could be faulty or many other things around it. Download it's data PDF to discover things to check.
    pin13 needs to see 2.4v or higher.
    Also check for any movement on the rails as you apply power. I had a fault in a Samsung that was causing the ALW5v to go higher than 5v at power on, then drop back to 0v, all in a few milliseconds. Need a CRO to catch this.

        There could be a fault with the resistor divider. Also check for 19v on VIN pin16. avoid measuring this directly at the IC pin. If your probe shorts to an adjacent pin, you will have more trouble.

          Yes, there is 18.9v on pin 16.

            Can you advise me where to check for 3v and 5v ? I am unsure which component/s convert the 19v down to the lower voltages.

              Re: Toshiba C660 no power

              Did you see the data PDF for the UP6182? There are 2 sets of regulators, linear 3.3v and 5v, and SMPS 3.3v and 5v. When power is applied and before the power button is pressed, the 2 linear regulators, pin8 and pin17 should be up. When the power button is pressed, the 2 SMPS rails are supposed to come up. These can be found at the 2 coils, PL4 and PL5.
              pin13 EN needs to see 2.4v or more before anything else can work.

                Thanks rievax, i'm fairly new to diagnosing and reading diagrams.
                I have downloaded the pdf and now understand a little better.
                I only have 1.7v on pin 13 can you tell me where that feed comes from ?

                    Re: Toshiba C660 no power

                    Well, I cleaned up the area around PU6 with some ipa and have measured again. I am now getting 3.14v and the power LED.
                    I have connected up the screen and it's booting. I shall reassemble and report back.
                    Thanks again for your help.

                      Re: Toshiba C660 no power

                      Hello again, i'm back with this one.
                      It seems that it has has some liquid enter at some point judging by the stain on the back of the keyboard.
                      All is working well apart from sound. The device is installed and shows in Windows. The sound driver installs ok, however there is a pop sound on turning on the laptop and then again as the screen goes black before the windows desktop.

                      I've tried headphones and alternative speakers and still the same pop

                      I'm not sure what to look for but i have checked some voltages on the ALC259Q chip.

                      Pin1 3.3v
                      Pin25 5.15v
                      Pin38 5.15v

                      As always your knowledge is gratefully received. What do i need to check ?

                        If it's popping it's trying to do something, but there seems to be something stopping it from outputting sound. Do you have sound with external speakers? And what happens when you unplug the build in ones and plug in only external ones or headphones?

                          No sound with any combination of speakers or headphones.
                          Nothing happens when i unplug the built in speakers, or plug them back in.

                              you need a scope on the chip.
                              you can check the output
                              Just cook it! It's already broken.

                                Would a simple scope like a DS201 be suitable ricoh ?

                                  yeee
                                  i got this ! i fix headphones, all types of audio ports;
                                  i had a asus that non of the out work i check on the chip; nothing show but when i inserted a jack in front the internal speakers power up check on the chip , there was a short with the jacks so i left the short in jack to activate the internal speakers. the guys was happy me happy moved on.

                                  it will do the trick!
                                  the main thing i use it for is to see if BIOS chips active before power button press

                                      I bought an identical faulty board to swap components from to try and fix this.
                                      On power PU6 gets red hot instantly so i was going to replace.
                                      It is marked 51125A although the schematic indicates a UP6182.
                                      I've done a search on here, that indicates they are compatible, is one better than the other ?

                                          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. 😅

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

                                          Hi all,

                                          TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                                          I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                                          A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                                          Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply

                                          I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                                          One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
