    Hp 15 - la-a994p

    Can anyone confirm whether I'm doing a good diagnostic. I'm total beginner in these things.

    I'm working on the HP 15 board number LA-A9945.

    I have only the cable for the power button and the DC jack, RAM and the processor
    connected to the board.


    On chip U301 RT8243AZQW pins 15-LD03 and 14-LD05. I did not have any voltage.
    At 11-VIN pin I had 19V. The rails +3VALWP and +5VALWP were not in short circuit.
    I replaced the chip. And on pin 15 I had 1V and at pin 14 5V.
    After 20 seconds the chip stopped working.
    And now, as soon as I connect my laptop to power, it's U301 is getting very hot.

    And I see that +3VALWP is in short circuit, at pin 14 and 15 I have nothing.

    +3VALWP is going every were, is there simple way to find short. and what about U301 what I did wrong?

    PU301 should not get hot. If it gets hot, he might be the culprit of your short-circuit so try to unsolder PL302 and check which side is shorted.

      PL302 is on 5V rail. You think on PL303.
      I have unsolder PJ302 jumper and short is not on the PU301 side. It is somewere. U18, PU1801... how can I be sure? Is unsoldering components and jumpers only way?
      Under microscope everything looks OK.
      Is there boardview for this board? I can't find some caps present on schematics.

        Unmount the chip. Then find out short on +3VLDO, if not then unmount the coil OF +3VALW rail. Check the capacitor and also the two MOSFETs before the coil of +3VALW. I hope you'll be able to find the short circuit.

          Short is not on the chip side.

              HP EPK50 LA-G07EP short on +3VALWP and +1.0V_PRIMP
              by johnbeton
              Hello,

              Working on a board HP EPK50 LA-G07EP. Owner tried to replace LCD display without disconnecting battery. Afterwards, the notebook turns on for a few seconds and shuts off.
              Mainrail looks fine, battery charges. I have +5VALWP, but that's it.
              I measure short to ground (0.03Ohms) on +3VALWP and +1.0V_PRIMP.

              Injecting 1v at 3A on PL1001 and PL302 only slightly warms up the cpu after several minutes.

              Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
              by DynaxSC
              Hi Folks

              I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

              I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
              After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
              The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

              Acer Nitro 5 3valwp short 1ohm
              by Thomas8607
              Hi all!

              I have an acer nitro 5 notebook. The 1,05v, 1,8v and 3valwp were short.
              I injected 3v on 3v rail and the pch was hot,i desoldered it.
              The 1,8 and 1,05v are ok now, but the 3v still shorted.

              The 3v to ground resistance is 1ohm (not zero).

              Where do i find the fail?
              I have schematic and boardview too.


              Thanks!...

              MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
              by Stephen
              I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

              HP Victus 15-fb dag3pamb8d0 Short on VCORE – How to Confirm CPU Fault?
              by adelfr2009
              I have a laptop HP Victus 15-fb with motherboard DAG3PRMB8D0, CPU Ryzen 7535HS, and GPU RTX 2050. The laptop has a power issue: it does not turn on at all, and there is no light on the DC jack.
              After inspection, I found that an NMOS near the charger input had a short. I replaced it, but the short remained on the 19V line. I checked the charging circuit and it was fine, but the short appears after the current sense resistor near the charger. The charger does not pass current when connected, so I inject 3V–4V after the sense resistor. No component gets hot, except the CPU which becomes...
