    Acer 5742G, PQ88 MOSFET blowing..

    Laptop stop working. LA-5891P shematic. Missing B+ voltage, reason was that PC326 was shorted. I removed and try again no powerled star and stop quickly. Then I find out that MOSFET PQ 88 and PQ 92 (TPCA8028-H) was broken so I removed both.

    After that without CPU and RAM and any other devices laptop start, leds go on charging working. I measured all PJ voltges:

    pj23 0,0V
    pj6 3,37V
    Pj8. 5,1V
    pj11. 19,1V
    pj14 1,833V
    pj7 0,761V
    pj2 and pj4. 0,0 V
    pj5. 1,518V
    pj9 and pj10 0,08V
    pj15 and pj16. 0,0V
    pj22. 1,5V
    pj20. 1,5V
    pj18 19,4V

    I need some helposti, what Componenta I have to check before replacing MOSFET?
    What is reason that MOSFET blowing?

    I find another motherboard some MOSFET what of them I can use I have pair of

    FDS6676AS

    SI7686DP

    79NO3S

    4634

    What about missing +1.0VSPDGPU and +1.05VS_VTTP. Is it all voltges on or not?

    I understand that VGA_ON trigger those two missing voltgess after I reassembling laptop
    and start again after all Componenta are installed. I also removed battery from mainboard.

    Is it possible yhä GPU or CPU is fault. Laptop running quite cool, GPU temp. is running 50-70 degrees.

    When I replace MOSFET next, Is it good idea to try first without CPU, RAM and other components and check voltages again before final assembly.

    Please help me soon.

    well cetainly there many reasons to blow fets , possible cause , capacitors in that section are in short , regulator is pulling high a gate or vice versa making it to bypass to gnd...well many thing can make this happen , but first of all wich board model is it

    la-5891p ???? 5742 have 2 type of boards , and bit different from each outher , so give us correct board code for we can help you oout to solve this problem

    well cheking online on both schemtic , your must be la5891p , so therefor your cpu controler is the ADP IC

    sofirst thing , remove cpu , and access this site , in this moment i cant put attachments , but you can acess schematic here https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...0cbac68b75.pdf

    so , remove cpu , and test all mosfet attached to the ADP IC , you can see it on page 54 of the schematic for you can know wich mosfets you need to test , and also capacitor to test to gnd to see if they are in short .

    quick way to test mosfet (outisde board)
    IF N channel , black probe on drain side (pin 5 6 7 8) and red proble pins 1 2 3 , in this way (on diode mode ) you must have a value showing on your multimeter . now keep black probe on drain side (5 6 7 8) and touch one time with red probe on pin 4 GATE , now if you touch with the red probe again on any pin 1 2 3 it must make NOISE indicating continuity , swap probes black probe 1 2 3 and red probe in any pin of 5 6 7 8 and it must make noise as well showing continuity , then keep red probe on pins 5 6 7 8 , and black probe touch pin 4 gate , and now chek that there is no more continuity .if ok final test , now red probe on pins 5 6 7 8 , and black probe on pin 1 , and it must display on multimeter infinite or else (1).

    for P channel , its the oposite , gate is activated with black probe instead of red probe
    test all fets , if all ok , good ,
    chek on schematic main capacitors for main cores lines , test them like this , black probe attached to any ground spot , like USB shield or holes . red probe , touch negatice side of mosfet it will make continuity , the outher side of the fet CANNOT make continuity ,if it does , means it is shorted .

    any doubt's just ask , and we will go further with the repair , first test fets and capacitors
    cheers

          I remove CPU, RAM and all other components and check all Mosfets near to ADP IC by Fluke 87 True RMS meter. I also measured all ADP 48 pins resistance to ground with and without CPU installed.

          I am not sure, how to measure Mosfet on the Mainboard. Resistane to ground and clear shortcircuit is quite easy to see, but turning Mosfet on and off is not.

          I learning to check one big tree pin Mosfet by your info and it works. I cannot still check sameway 8 pins Mosfet, why?

          Near ADP is 4 Mosfet, bottom side has PQ87 and PQ90, PQ86 and PQ91 is not installed. Topside has PQ88 and PQ92. PQ89 and PQ93 are not installed. As I say before PQ88 and PQ92 are 100% sure broken so I remove them before any measurement. SO topside near to CPU socket has not any Mosfet, only two working i hope are bottomside.

            No lucky, ADP3212 IC is very hot now and it is possible to change. Thanks anyway, I give up to try fixing this mobo..

              hi, cannot make new posts yet, so sorry if i use yours. i have a power off issue with this board, i'm pretty sure it is not cpu overheating.
              even on a cold start it stay on 10/20 seconds then power off, no components on board seem to overheat, and it power off randomly, after 20 seconds, or even 10 minutes. pressing powerbutton it restart normally then power off again.
              i have many broken spare boards of this kind (new70) where i can pull components. any suggestion on what i can try first?

                Asus GA502D keeps blowing mosfet
                by Scotchmist
                I have an Asus GA502D, it had a blown mosfet which I replaced and the laptop booted into windows, a few mins later it shut off, the same mosfet was blown. I thought maybe just a bad mosfet but same thing happened again, a few mins in windows and shuts off.

                I have removed the mosfet and can run the laptop no problem

                The MOSFET is FDPC5018SG

                Can anyone point me in the direction of what could be the cause of this, could it be the controller rt3663bc?

                Thanks

                How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
                by Jane
                I tried to use this method:

                Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

                Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
                Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
                Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

                Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
                Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the

                VGA MOSfet permanently shorted and loss of MOSfet pad
                by Nooy
                Hello everyone, I recently found this badcaps site and super Learn Electronics Repair youtube channel. And I wanted to learn how to troubleshoot power supplies and VGA cards and how to practice soldering, since I already have a properly defective piece of them. I am currently trying to solve two problems:

                I have a Gigabyte GV-RX460WF2OC-4GD type card. I managed to find the faulty MOSfet (AON6414A) on it, which I replaced. The card starts up, but after about half a minute, the MOSfet in the same position will be shorted again. Is it possible that the PWM controller driving the MOSfet...

                Asus X712EA 3 volts after the first mosfet
                by AppleLover123
                Hey guys,

                i have a asus motherboard here and as the title says after the first mosfet (in the picture) there is nothing more than 3.15v.
                I injected 19v and max. 1 amp at the charging port and there is not voltage drop or smth. It's just taking 19v and 1 milliamp.
                Then i tried to inject 19v and max 1amp after the current sensor and there it first takes 19v and 4 milliamps and after 2 seconds it is taking nothing (no current).
                I measured on the coils on board everything seems fine. Also the main power rail is not shorted (infinite resistance).
                Now i thought something...

                ASUS ROG Zephyrus GPU Mosfet repeat failure
                by MicroSMD Lab
                The board number is GU502DU. I repaired this a couple weeks ago and it came back with the same issue, same mosfet failed (PQH9201). I'm hoping that the GPU was spared this time.
                I used the same replacement part (purchased from Mouser) and I'm certain the soldering was done properly since it took just as much effort to remove as before. What could cause this same mosfet to fail? I'm thinking if it was unsuitable then the others would fail too. I looked for similar failures on YTube and the mosfet was replaced with AOE6930 in one instance and AOE6932 in the other but it's possible that the...
