    Component heating up

    Good day guys. I'm a little bit lost as of this moment I got and old Fujitsu Amilo laptop with a heating component. Motherboard has power but does not boot. Found IC U31 very hot after pressing power button.

    Please check attachment. As you can see I got voltage on all PINS. I notice pin no 8 is very high. and pins 3 and 4 are low. I already replace ic with same value. I laso removed c904 which I thought was faulty but same thing. Need to know if which pin is causing IC to heat up. thanks to all.

    Re: Component heating up

    That's a linear regulator:

    It works by dissipating the difference between input voltage and output voltage as heat, so it's natural that it would get warm.
    It could get hot if there's a component after the chip that uses a lot of current or a component that's faulty and causes a short circuit, forcing the linear regulator to output up to its maximum capability.
    Get a multimeter and check capacitors for shorts after the linear regulator, or maybe whatever is connected to that 1.05v VS is dead.
    If there's a short, it's not uncommong to see the regulator overloaded and showing a much lower output voltage than the confgured one, which seems to be the case here.

      one of the 4 output caps could be bad - or something it feeds not on that diagram.
      before you solder anythnig, repeat the test without the cpu & ram etc - just incase

        Thanks for the input. I forgot to mention that I found short on output rail. I already removed C281 and C358. C243 and C371 are empty. Short still there, don't know where +1.05vs goes after. I'm looking at Q45 as the output of +1.05vs. But not so sure. I attach schematic diagram. Thanks again for the help.

          In order to find the short you have to supply the power rail with external power supply at 1V.
          The short will heat up and you're able to track it and remove the heated part.

            no lab psu for now. Does this have something to do with low reading on R785 and R786? Both have 37k ohms on my meter. Different from what is indicated on schematic. thanks again.

              uP0109: 2A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator equivalent substitute
              by bilux
              Hello everyone,
              I want to find a replacement for uP0109 8pins, and i found this parts:

              uP0109 is "2A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator"
              RT9199 is "Cost-Effective, 2A Peak Sink/Source Bus Termination Regulator"
              FP6137C is "2A BUS TERMINATION REGULATOR"

              can replace uP0109​ by RT9199 or FP6137C ?

              The best way to drive a heating element?
              by EasyGoing1
              I've got this circuit that I've been playing with on a breadboard. I'm not happy with it mainly because the MOSFET gets too hot and generally controlling the temp of the heating element with the Arduino has proven to be a little more cumbersome than I would like.

              What I would like to know, is what is the best way to set up a circuit like this? The heating element is just a PCB and its going to be mounted under a 3D-printed enclosure that a lizard will use to warm his belly.

              This is the general setup that I have now.

              MacBook Pro A1707 Motherboard Diagnostic Help – CD3215 heating and Fluctuating Rails
              by Cemal Odabasioglu
              Hello everyone,

              I'm currently diagnosing a MacBook Pro A1707 motherboard that does not power on. I've gathered some data but am stuck and need expert advice.
              Note that i'm a beginner in electronics and i'm trying to learn while trying to repair this macbook that my work gave me. I'm really curious and love understanding how thing works and i already learned so much.

              Only one usb c port is taking 20v and have 12.5v on PPBUS_G3H. when trying other ports, 2 are not going to 20v and one is going to 20v but the CD3215 is getting really hot.

              Observations...

              3+1 Voltage Regulator for IMVP-7/VR12 CPUs

              Compliant with IMVP-7/VR12, the ISL95831 provides a complete solution for microprocessor and graphic processor
              core power supply. It provides two Voltage Regulators (VRs) with three integrated gate drivers. The first VR can be
              configured as 3-, 2- or 1-phase VR while the second output is 1- phase VR, providing maximum flexibility. The two VRs share the
              serial control bus to communicate with the CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller board area compared with the two chip approach.

              Help identifying voltage regulator on this concept 2 pm5 monitor pcb board?
              by artvandalai
              This Concept 2 rower pm5 monitor doesn't shut down. It keeps turning on and stays on after being turned off. I read on another forum by another user that replaced the same component to check the voltage regulator.
              The monitor should pull around 35mA when turned on and in shutdown it should drops to around 0.060mA. Any advice on finding the voltage regulator on this board to check if it needs to be replaced?
