    Hp cq61 doesn't turn on (+vgacore)

    I am not too expert on laptop motherboards but i have the knowledge to handle them.
    i have this laptop which doesn't turn on. After testing i found that Vin is shorted
    and following a schematic diagram i noticed that the cause is +VGACORE.
    I removed L5 (CPU coil) which is connected to +VGACORE and short disappeared.
    i used BGA machine to reheat BGA ic but short is still there.

    is it possible by reheating BGA the short remains or do i missed something.

    Thanks

    By "Vin" you mean the +VIN line?
    If it's true, it means that you have a shorted high-side MOSFET on the +VGACORE regulator.
    It would help to know which motherboard you have inside the computer
    Assuming Quanta OP6, I'm talking about PQ58 shorted between source and drain.
    Also if the GPU itself is shorted, reheating it will not make it work. A GPU power line will look like a short when measured on a multimeter, ie. around 10 ohms, but that's fine. A shorted GPU will usually show a resistance lower than 2 ohms.

    Also I'm not sure what does "L5 (CPU coil)" refer to.

        Hello, i have some issues with my laptop Lenovo Y700-17ISK (motherboard BY511 NM-A541), it started when i turn on the laptop, but the lcd wont turn on, i then connected it via hdmi to tv and screen was ok. So i thought maybe lcd stripe is faulty, i removed the bottom cover, disconnected main battery, reset the cmos by disconnecting battery for 1 min, then slighty move the lcd stripe. Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on. Removed power supply, waited...

        MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX (MS-16R6) LAPTOP WON'T TURN ON AFTER RESTARTING
        by RdeveLabs
        To all the members here...

        Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.

        So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But...

        Acer Aspire 4520 won't turn on after reboot
        by robante15
        Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 4520 from a couple of decades ago and I want to repair it solely for nostalgia.

        It happens that when I turn it on after having been disconnected for a long time, it turns on without problems, it tells me that the BIOS has been reset and that it will load the factory settings, if I tell it to continue, the computer turns on and everything works fine.

        The moment I turn it off and want to turn it back on a second time, or restart it and try to start it again, it no longer gives an image, and it no longer responds.

        If I remove the...

        Dell latitude e7470 not turn on .power buton on off and Run Power problem
        by masoksian
        Hi everyone,

        I am dealing with the problem of turning on and off my Dell e7470 notebook.

        The battery charge light is solid white, I press the button, the power indicator and the light on the button are solid for 1-2 seconds and immediately turn off.

        The system does not turn on, there is no post.

        I removed the RAMs and changed them, changed the battery, RTC battery, AC adapter, removed them and waited, tried again, it does not turn on.
        The problem continues in the same way.
        I tried to turn on the Fn key, nothing came to the screen....
