    very challenging issue! lenovo G50-80?

    I have a Lenovo G50-80 motherboard. aclu3/aclu4 UMA NM-A362 REV1.0.
    the board is not turning on. no +3VALW, or +5VALW.
    the charging IC is BQ24737. there is 20v in pj302 jumper, however. and it goes inside pu904. but PU904 is not providing the +3VALW.
    what confuses me is the short between +3VL and the ground at 51 ohm. i tried very hard to find the cause with no luck.

    i have two main question:
    1- the pu904 ic should receive the EN signal from the IO. but it does not receive any. can i know what is the main power for the IO ic. because it seems that the ic is not receiving any power signals?

    2-i have removed the IO ic from the board now. but still the is a short between the +3VL and the ground at 51 ohm. any suggestion is appreciated so much.


    please help?

    and thanks in advance

    You are not getting EN1 signal on PU904 coz of missing ECON signal from IO(Most Likely). First you check whether io is getting power. Check PIN11(VCC) and PIN74(avcc) of IO. Both should read 3v. If you are not getting any voltage here then io will not work at all. Also check whether PIN11 and pin 74 is shorted to gnd or not.

      Thanks for reply

      That is exactly what I needed to know.. there is no short to ground . And there is no pOwer getting to these pins. I mean there is no 3v present on both pins.
      Now can I ask which ic should provide the 3v for these pins ?

        Hi, PU904 provides the +3VL, what voltage do you have on pin 5 of the PU904?

          There is 20v entering the ic through pin 7. But there is 0v on pin 5

            Can you remove the jumper PJ304 and measure pin 5 again?

              I already removed the jumper to avoid the short but still 0v on pin 5!

              I also removed the IO chip.

              can the pu904 chip provide any output in the absence of both EN1 and PG signals?

                I don't have the datasheet for the PU904 (SY8206BQNC), on page 47, PU904 provides the + 3VLP to the EC and the EC allows the EC_ON for the PU904 to provide the + 3VALW. To check what I said is true, you should have + 5VLP on pin 7 of the PU905.

                  You are absolutely right. There is 5v at pin 7 pu905.
                  I reattached the picture and show the voltages I have on that area.
                  This all without IO chip. I also attach SY8206CQNC datasheet and SY8208BQNC.....

                    The capacitor with the 3.3V is connected to what?

                        If you have 0V on pin 5 of PU904, the PU904 is defective or the PC1055 capacitor is short to ground.

                          there is no short to ground in the capacitor but when I put the jumper back the short will come to the capacitor. I mean the jumper PJ304.
                          but I replaced pu904 and it was just like your suggest (Thanks a lot ). the 3.3v appeared on the capacitor PC1055. I wasn't suspecting the pu904 as I had already replaced it with new one. but it seems that the short in jumper PJ304 defected the new one as well. however, now I replaced it again and have the 3.3v back to PC1055. now what could cause the +3VL side to short to ground with 51ohm. I don't want to test which component is heat by putting the jumper back because I believe that it will defect pu904 again.

                            If you have a bench supply, you can inject 3.3V across the PJ304 and look for any component that gets hot.

                              I don't have a power supply. But can I use the motherboard bios battery for that purpose. Or it needs a higher amper.

                                  The +3VL is connected to 12 components via PJ304 from +3VLP. You will need to remove them one by one to determine where you have the 51 ohms.

                                      i could not figure out the short place. But what made me confused is that there is no short to ground in the line from +VL to the IO chip. however, according to the schematics then it had to. but in reality all other +VL signals are shorted except for the Signal to the IO.
                                      but i could not figure out the place of the resistant RE1 and RE3 to check if RE1 is the cause.

                                        Maybe that's because the motherboard is revision 1.0 and the schemas are revision 0.4, they made some changes.

                                          by db80
                                          Hello friends,

                                          I've been racking my brain over the past few months on the following issue:
                                          I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ARE05 laptop that basically works fine as long it starts up at all.

                                          If you shut it down, often you hear the HDD still spinning and the Power LED remains on, it only shuts down if you force it (pressing the power button for like 15 seconds).
                                          Then, if you want to Switch it on, nothing happens, only the Power LED lights on, nothing else. If you leave it, then after like 30-60mins it turns on itself.
                                          I tried all the common alleged „fixes“...

                                          Lenovo P43s won't boot with internal battery connected – looking for help diagnosing battery issue
                                          by code share
                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I'm having an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad P43s. The laptop does not power on when the internal battery is connected, but it works fine on AC power alone (battery disconnected). Once the battery is reconnected, the system becomes completely unresponsive — no lights, no fan spin, nothing.

                                          Here's what I've tried so far:
                                          • Power/EC reset (held power button for 60 seconds with battery and AC disconnected)
                                          • Booted successfully on AC power only with the battery disconnected
                                          • Visual inspection of the battery — no swelling, burn marks, or connector damage
                                          • Battery
                                          ...

                                          Lenovo ideapad 3 15IL05 - ram issue
                                          by Nagyesz
                                          Hi all,
                                          I've encountered an issue I've never experienced before..

                                          The Lenovo works perfectly, it has 4gb soldered ram and an additional slot. With just the 4gb the laptop passes all tests, everything is working. However no matter what frequency or capacity of ram I add to the extra slot the display starts artifacting completely randomly in both in the bios and in win and the only solution is to shut down.

                                          I've inspected the pins of the extra slot with a magnifying and didn't notice anything unusual. I've also tried multiple ram modules, but the issue is the same....

                                          Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen6 (NM-B48) Thunderbolt issue

                                          Hi!

                                          My Thinkpad X1gen6 (NM-B48) have had issues with thunderbolt for over a year now. No TB3 or HDMI working and the screen randomly flickering sometimes but going away other times. As if there was a glitch in the connection.

                                          When it was starting to fail I switched between assist mode and the non assist mode a lot because I didn't understand what was going on and some times it helped. (but really it probably made it worse by writing more to the flash) At one point when it had failed a switch like that hung the laptop with a black screen and I had to hard reset. That...

                                          reading EC with svod4 Lenovo NM-D271 issue
                                          by Pfudaniel
                                          Hello, im trying to read the EC of lenovo NM-D271 butthe files come up empty after read.
                                          Im using pinout provided from online database made by Adytia.

                                          Pin detection is succesfull and i read in 384 size.
                                          I was hoping to have some help to get the EC read succesfully. might be a pinout issue ? if anyone got more info on this id love to hear it.

                                          Thanks.
