Ene 9010 c4 replacement

[mcplslg123]

Friends, Anybody have datasheet for Ene9010 C4 or is there any equivalent for it?? Ene9012 can be used?? Need it for HP Quanta U82 Mb and i dont have 9010 in stock though i have 9012 in stock.

Please confirm guys..

Re: Ene 9010 c4 replacement

kb9010 and kb9012 are pin compatible. but kb9012's datasheet says:

"ENE KB9012 is a customized IC based on KB9010 for specific application of minimizing
power consumption. Several pins are provided for external power-latch to save power consumption. IO characteristic and cells are also improved."

Therefore, kb9010 and kb9012 have at least some minor differences in power consumption, IO characteristics and internal cells. therefore, the external capacitors required to connect to them may be different.
However, I have no experience in replacing kb9010 by kb9012. So they may work in behalf of each other. I am not sure.

Re: Ene 9010 c4 replacement

Thanks caspian for the feedback. I have gone through the datasheet of KB9012 but couldnt find it for KB9010. I too never did it and am not confident to replace it without being sure. Thats why i seek others opinion if anyone had experience with it. Else, i"ll prefer to wait for the new chip to arrive as i"ve already placed order for new one. I checked for pin compatibility by using schematic for HP LA-A994 and Quanta U82 and since it was pin compatible thought whether its replaceable.

Someone asked the same question on VLAB ,one user said yes, but ymmv .There`s no mention of the Quanta U82 in the other 19 page thread .

There should be a few local distributors of major Laptop ICs in every country so that Laptop repairshops be able to receive the ICs quickly. ordering them overseas takes a lot of time.

Re: Ene 9010 c4 replacement

Although kb9012 can work in behalf of kb9010, it may not be a long lasting replacement on some particular mainboard. It depends on the mainboard's circuit design. Therefore, such a replacement is generally not recommended.

I dont need to order overseas. Its available in my country but not in my city. I've ordered new 9010 kbc and it will take 4-5 days to reach me. Asked for other options as customer was in hurry. Now she has agreed to wait-so lets wait for the chip to arrive.

As per the vlab post, its specific to Quanta U82 and one of the members said should work but the original poster did'nt confirmed anything. So we cant be sure.

No ,it wasn`t confirmed, and its not worth the risk with a customer board. They`re always in a rush .

Will update once the new kbc arrives

Re: Ene 9010 c4 replacement

Sorry guys, i forgot to update about this thread. New kbc 9010 arrived and soldered. Dc jack light came up after flashing the new kbc. It switched on but no display. Flashed main bios from hp official update and got display.

So to sump up kbc was ba+bios needed to be flashed.

Thanks all for valuable inputs.
