    lenovo 80nj motherboard short to ground

    Hi Guys need some help please got this laptop to repair and it would not power up so i removed the mother board from the laptop and tried to power it up i noticed that pu401 3.3v power ic was getting hot so i removed it and also the output capacitor as it was short to ground thinking this was the fault but in further investigation i have more power supplies shorted to ground.I have attached some pics with the shorted to ground parts in red and the removed items in yellow any help to trouble shoot the motherboard would be much appreciated Thanks in advance .

          Stuff near the CPU is most likely not shorted to ground. CPU Vcore line will have a very low resistance to ground, it's perfectly normal.

              short means resistance lower than 2-3ohm, higher is ok walue for high current ICs like CPU and GPU

                      Lenovo X240 - motherboard replacement for X250, no image.
                      by andrhouseolly
                      Friends. I beg you to help me in this situation.
                      Lenovo X240 with a video problem. Native Intel drivers are not installed,
                      after installation, a black screen. It works with the standard Microsoft driver.
                      Understanding that there are problems with the video core,
                      I ordered a motherboard from Lenovo X250.
                      The laptop turns on, starts up, there is no image on the internal display.
                      The image is output to the external monitor.
                      I ordered another motherboard from Lenovo X250.
                      The laptop turns on, starts up, there is no image on the internal display.

                      hello everyone , working zebronics power suply 450 watts , 5v ,3.3v givin short to ground black wire, also in circuit at output, resistor was charred but shows right values , after removing resistors 39ohms, 51 ohms, there was no short , no continuity beeps with ground , but after replacing new resistors (now i am not switching it on) ,again short still exists . when i put bigger ohm resistor like 100k ohm , no short beeping sound comes , lower ohm resistor gives continuity beeps ,other big ones donest , as its a working psu , i am confused what to remove now or how to go further now .

                      Need help interpreting schematic of Lenovo B470 motherboard
                      by rddube
                      Hello everyone,

                      OK, so here is my issue.

                      This Lenovo B470 motherboard I am troubleshooting died and I identified it is the discrete Nvidia graphics chip that has lost it's ways!

                      So I removed it and now I am trying to change this motherboard to use UMA graphics, but I am having an issue interpreting the attached diagram. I have a 10K resistor in at the R2013 position and another one at the R2012. R2010 and R2011 are empty.

                      The motherboard starts, the fan spins but no display. It turns off by itself. I restart it and it does start but stays on...

                      Asus ROG ga401IV motherboard - AC Short Protection resistor getting hot
                      by gaelican
                      Hi,

                      I am working on an Asus ROG laptop repair. I was able to find that there is a short on the motherboard, and the 20 volts from the charger only gets to the first mosfet before disappearing.

                      When looking around with a thermal camera, I noticed the chip marked "14C" in the picture was getting warm. Nothing else was receiving heat.

                      I found a boardview diagram and schematic for a motherboard that looks nearly identical, that has the same component. This appears to be marked as "AC Short Protection" with a value of 13.7KOhms.
