    Fujitsu Lifebook A512 power issue

    Hi guys,

    I have this laptop that with battery on and ac adapter on only shows the orange light of battery charging. If I push the power button, nothing happens.

    If I remove the battery and the ac adapter, then push and keep pushed the power button while I put the ac adapter on, the power button blue led shows for an instant, then it disappear and nothing happens.

    For both the method nothing works (fan, screen, other leds, etc.).

    Can anyone help me? Thanks!

    EDIT: solved removing the CMOS battery for a while (15 minutes), then hitting the power button for a minute. Then I putted the CMOS battery on and it turned on without issues.

    Now there's another problem: I have no backlight on the LCD LED! :-(

    Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
    by GLISIT
    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...

    Fujitsu Lifebook Power IC gets hot
    by bytefarmer
    Hi everyone,
    I'm brand new to the forum. I've found this site because I have a very similar problem like this guy. It's also a Fujitsu Lifebook and has the same symptoms: LEDs briefly flash when connecting the power adapter, battery doesn't charge. Same behaviour when connection 14.4V to the battery pins.
    I have 0 experience with motherboards but I do have an electronics background, I am an electronic engineer but I have to say there's some dust on that knowledge although I play with Arduino's from time to time.

    I was measuring the mosfets like the other post and when...

    Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 Power-On Issue (Troubleshooting Assistance)
    by justice171
    I am seeking guidance on an Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 that does not turn on when pressing the power button.

    Below are the observations and troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: Observations and Tests:
    1. Verified that all critical voltages are present:
      • 3.3V and 5V are always present if DC is plugged.
      • 1.8V on the BIOS chip is present.
    2. Checked the power button functionality:
      • When pressed, the voltage drops to 0V, indicating the button is functional.
    3. Inspected the flex cable connecting the USB, audio, and power button to JUB1:
      • Confirmed connectivity is intact, ruling out issues
