    Asus x55vd Rev 3.1 wont power up

    Hi All im trying to repair a Asus x55vd,

    first power on led but no display no access to drive etc...
    on boot, fan speed its high and after few moment its turn off itself.
    and can't power up again until waiting many time not connected to charger and battery removed
    otherwise led power up for 1 sec and shut off immediately.

    i have flashed bios with arduino+serprog.
    it boot and display working windows start but the problem speed fan high
    an power off itself still.

    think its a capacitor problem i read where https://www.elvikom.pl/asus-r503v-mb...7m-t50576.html
    same motherboard whit same power problem the guy solved it replacing capacitors around rt8207m the mine is a rt8206L.

    i have the great idea remove power source and short ceramic capacitor around rt chip to see if i can boot without waiting an identify the bad capacitor.
    now it no power up anymore nothing happens wen i press power button .
    i have only 2 pins with voltage :19v on Vin pin 6 of rt8206l and 6v on pin 4 LDO control.

    any idea.
    Thanks

    are you sure you had removed all the batteries and power sources? now, check resistance to gnd on that capacitor and report the resistance value. In addition, find where that capacitor is connected to.

      hi Caspian thanks for reply

      not all i don't have removed cmos battery,

      i have 5 oms on this capacitor (1uf_16v) connected to pin 19 (Vpp) of the rt8206L.

        this means it is shorted. now you have to find which component is shorted. I hope it is the capacitor and not the rt8206L. first check if the capacitor is connected to any other point on the board other than rt8206L. then remove the capacitor and check if the short is gone or not.

          its just connected in parallel to a resistor connected to pin 7 of rt8206L
          i go to try unsolder capacitor an test it ,i hope its the capacitor too .

          in motherboard the rt8206l its the primary source of the 3v,5v ?

          thanks

            I do not know. just remove the cap. If the short remains, remove the resistor too.

                it would be very useful if you find schematics or boardview of this laptop. that capacitor is probably connected to another part of the mainboard which is away from rt8206L. In addition, a high quality photo of rt8206L and its surrounding components would help. I think it is not required to remove that resistor. measure the resistance that exists between the two sides of the resistor.

                  Asus Z97-a power cycle, no boot no cpu voltage
                  by meraklinetx
                  Hello, I have an asus Z97-A motherboard and it doesn't start which was working properly before, the problem isn't related by ram, ram slots or psu (I changed all and nothing work), the exact problem is when you switch it on , it starts and after 1 seconds (no boot or display picture) it's off and then on cycle continuously until you power it off from psu also it's responding to the power switch for turning it off if you keep pressing it 3 or 4 seconds (power button pin has 3.3v) , also when you start it with eatx 12v socket connected this is happening (power cycle also all voltages are resetting...

                  Asus laptop won't boot (no power) - possible bad caps?
                  by jrodefeld
                  I would like to see if anyone could help me salvage a very expensive laptop that is no longer working.






                  The model:
                  Asus Zenbook Pro Duo UX582L

                  I have used this laptop lightly since I purchased it new in 2022. I have always taken precautions to take care of it the best I could, and have never done anything that would risk causing damage to it or shorten it's life.

                  However, around six months ago, the laptop stopped working on battery power. It continued to work fine when plugged in, but as soon as power was disconnected,...

                  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...

                  Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                  by PantherDave
                  Hi all!

                  I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                  I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                  ASUS TUF X570-PLUS doesn't power on: no VRM_EN signal.
                  by ShadowAi
                  Hello, I have an issue with the motherboard. Specifically, it doesn't power on, more precisely, the POST initialization doesn't occur.

                  Let me start from the beginning, the motherboard suddenly stopped working one day. There are no beep signals from the speaker, and the debug LEDs are not lighting up. After inspecting it under a microscope and using thermal imaging, I didn't find anything that could be damaged.

                  After that, I began voltage measurements, in which I noticed the absence of VDDQ, VDDP, VTT, and VPP lines. Later, I checked if there is an EN state on these lines,...
