      Now, discovering the faulty component requires more thinking and analysis of the mainboard, because the mainboard is complicated and any unexpected fault may be there. Do not replace PCH or SIO in a hurry.

        I agree,
        interestingly, I have replace Q39,Q40 Mosfets. both seemed to be fully working though. but the board powered up normally for 1 min and I was able to enter the bios and check the info. then the board turned off. and the same problem started again. I tried to replace the mosfets again but I got nothing. I am now very confused of what might connect the mosfets with the problem and why it worked. was it the heating near the cpu or the mesfets or a cut in circuit near the mosfets??? like you said Caspian "it might be anything"

          If so, turn it off and measure resistance on PQ39 and PQ40 and pin1 of PU908. check whether there is any short.

            I have checked it. there is no short to ground and the mosfets are ok.
            between the two mosfets and the ground = 32ohm


            while between mosfets and pin1 = 1.65K

              Had you replaced PQ39 and PQ40 before starting this thread?
              If so, you have probably damaged PU908 or the SIO.
              If not so, which post have you replaced PQ39 and PQ40 at?

                Yes I replaced the two mosfets before starting the thread.

                What I did so far are the replacements below in sequence:

                Replaced UL1 as it was getting warm.
                Reprogram the bios and the EC
                Replaced the PQ39,PQ40
                Replace PU908
                Replace PQ39,PQ40 again
                Replaced PC989 and PC708
                Reprogrammed the Bios and the EC again.

                Only when I replaced the 2 mosets at the first time I got it worked for about a 1min.

                Can I know why would these mosfets damage the PU908 or Super IO. ?

                  Re: Cpu_core signal missing. Lenovo g50. Help?

                  Is the voltage stable on 3VS, check Q24 and +20VSB .If its ok check PR617 and PC621

                    The 3.3VS is not flactuating while checking via multimeter. But I don't have osciliscope to check the pattern. So I assume it is stable.

                    ###########
                    At Q24:

                    Pin4 =19.8v
                    All other pins = 3.3v
                    ############

                    PR617 have 0V.. and measures 5ohm
                    PC621 have 0v ... and measures 39ohm at non-grounded pin.

                      But at PU602 pin7 the multimeter flactuate between 0.696V and 0.702V does that mean it is not stable?

                      Also, the same happens at PU202 pin6.

                          Check PU908 pin 1, what voltage do you get when you press the power button

                            Actually whenever I connect to 20v power supply the power led gets on. And when I press the power button to turn it off it doesn't. In stead, it just restart. So I just see a one time blinking led.

                            But as you advised, I measured the voltage at pin1 exactly at the moment when I connect to power supply. Interestingly there is an increase in the volage at pin1 which come and gone in a matter of milliseconds. The same thing happens when the power led blinks when I press the power button for a while.

                            The max my multimeter reach during those milliseconds was 0.370v.

                              now continuously monitor voltage on PL9 to see whether it has a rise or it is absolute 0. If it has a rise for a millisecond, how much is the voltage rise?

                                Doing the same procedure, No there is nothing at all on PL9.

                                  Redo PU908, do the same tests afterwards .

                                    first, remove PR9146 and measure voltage on both sides of PR9146 and PR9343.

                                      Ah yes, to see if voltage is on EC_VR_ON,CPU_VR_ON or both. If the voltage is on both check PC620 next ?

                                        I just did the measures.
                                        PR9343 already not installed by the manufactur.but I removed PR9146.

                                        Interestingly , there is a raise in voltage on PU908 pin1 to about 0.9V as soon as drops to zero then raise again and so on.

                                        But there is nothing on the other side of the resistor. So the CPU_VR_ON & EC_VR_ON are both 0V...

                                        I Shared a short video of the voltage with you on the following link:

                                          do not solder PR9146 back on the board until you fix the CPU_VR_ON signal. Since there is no CPU_VR_ON, it seems the PCH is faulty. that is not good. to make sure, reprogram the Bios and the EC using the original dump while PR9146 is removed.

                                            Lenovo Legion 5 missing EC_ON_5V signal (5v_AWL)
                                            by questore
                                            Dear all.
                                            I have a Lenovo Legion 5 that come to me as faulty.
                                            The problem was that Adapter_ID pin was shorted by some liquid... killing the EC (there was a hole in the EC) (therefore 3.3v was shorted)
                                            I have removed shorted EC it and tested that if i short EC_SBM_CK1 to ground, then the BQ24780SRUYR power IC lets 20v pass the first and second mosfet.
                                            Nothing else seems shorted when checking 3V,5V, 1.1V, battery or 1.0v coils, so I have ordered the new EC chip.

                                            I have ordered a preprogrammed Chip for NM-C921 and soldered it on. (No pins shorted after checking...

                                            Hey guys.

                                            Need help with this one.
                                            Fan not spinning due to missing PWN Fan signal.
                                            Also 5 seconds from powering up it freezes, unless in BIOS.
                                            But as soon as Windows starts to load, it will freeze.
                                            CPU is COLD / Room temp when it freezes.

                                            I've replaced the CPU, same problem.
                                            Replaced SIO/KBC IT8987e and reprogrammed - same problem.
                                            Replaced fan - same problem.
                                            Replaced flex cable from board to daughterboard (which has fan connector on it) - same problem.
                                            Checked the Thermal sensors around CPU and Board to the SIO/KBC and...

                                            Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH - BIOS Serial number missing

                                            Hi all,

                                            I got a Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH on the bench with a botched BIOS (somehow my client blanked it). I restored the laptop and got it up and running with original BIOS from Lenovo Support website.
                                            My problem is now that the machine details are missing in the BIOS (Serial Number, MTM, etc.)
                                            I tried to write the details with the Lenovo Uone Tool but had now luck. It is giving me an error: "ERROR: Locate protocol with LenovoEeprom, Status=[e]. EEPROM fail when reading or writing data."
                                            I am now asking here for help if anyone knows how to do this in...
