    Problem with shorted GPU? or just haunted board?

    Hello,

    so where to begin...

    EA/VA70HW REV 2.0

    Laptop no power, only smoke coming out from area around adapter connector.

    One of two power mosfets where making smoke so I removed it.

    I will add a photo for reference (not my board in photo)

    Connected power supply to adaper connector and board was taking 0.200ish A and fuse "220" did heat up. I replaced it with different "220" but it caught on fire... so I used "2R2" fuse, don't know what's the difference but no fire and no more 0.200 A. Instead it goes from 0.000 A to 0.080 in 6 seconds and stays like that. (did this without having 2nd power mosfet)

    But now when I connect power supply to 2nd mosfet pins I get short and GPU is heating up...

    Why?

    Thank you for your time,

    Raitis

    uu can have shorted high side mosfet of gpu power rail, or reflowed/burned gpu

      There was a bad AON6428 mosfet, no more short but another problem showed up. Looks like you can't swap 200 fuse with 2R2

      Attached picture, want to know model of that IC.



      edit: I think I found this IC. U8800A BQ24735RGRR 06V370000005

      Battery charging IC.

        you need a more powerful microscope to read the model of that IC.

            I can power it on without this battery IC but there is no picture on a screeen only little light flicker...

              If this was an high-side MOSFET shorted on the GPU power rail, chances are that the GPU is dead… Check first what voltage you get on this line.

              About the charger IC, first check if both DCin MOSFETs are ok, then check if the resistance to ground of the +AC_BAT_SYS line is high enough.
              Check also the current sense resistor R8808 marked R010.
              If everything is ok then the charger IC could be dead, but first measure pins 1 to 11 and 20 to be sure of that.

                That charger IC is damaged caught on fire
                Removed it.

                Attached photo with mosfet I replaced 1 2 3 pins are 0.88 V but 4th is 1.10V, 5-8 are 19ish V, "330" cap under GPU gets 0.88V another near GPU gets 1.50V.

                So we have fallen Nvidia gpu...?

                Can I disable that GPU and use Intel HD Graphics?

                  If you find and upload the mainboard's schematics, you get better help to see if the conversion is possible.

                      probably it is possible to convert, but I do not know how. you have to search the Internet to find if someone did it before.

                        HP Victus 15-FA1025NL , board DAG3PAMB8D0 REV:D, shorted CPU DrMOS and n-mos
                        by modtool
                        Hi to all,
                        the owner of this machine gave it to me after having opened it to take off the dust from the inside, telling me that after that it didn't start anymore.
                        I found that one of the DrMOS (AOZ5016QI) on the CPUCORE was shorted between VIN and VSWH, and that one of the two n-mos connected to the power jack was shorted aswell.
                        I unsoldered the two shorted components and verified that there were no other short circuits, then decided to power the mainboard, firstly with the lab power supply, then with its original HP 200w charger, but the behaviour is the same, the board starts...

                        by Yanleb
                        Hi every one. I just want to share the successful repair of my shorted Panasonic TNPA4782AB SC board.

                        I don't usually do it but so many parts were shorted that I decided to buy the ShopJimmy repair kit instead of sourcing each components individually. Here is the list of components the kit contained, with a remark indicating if I needed that part or not :

                        D608, good
                        D618 RF101L4S, good (See warning 1 below)
                        D619 RF101L4S, good (See warning 1 below)
                        D865 RF101L4S, shorted (See warning 1 below)

                        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                        by Tynan Dill
                        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.

                        Assuming...

                        Problem

                        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                        Alienware M18x Shorted CPU Mosfet
                        by chestercc
                        I've got an old Alienware M18x R1 which shorted out the charger whenever it was connected. Tracked down the short to two shorted caps and burned CPU power controller caused by a shorted mosfet on the CPU's graphic power supply.

                        I've replaced the faulty mosfet, two shorted caps and the CPU Power controller (NCP6151S52MNR2G).

                        Issue is now whilst there is no short if I attempt to power the system on the fans spin for a couple seconds there are no lights and no further action - the PCH is heating up but there is no CPU power coming out but there is an enable signal...
