    Acer V5-132P 3D3v_PWR Shorted to ground

    I'm troubleshooting a laptop motherboard Acer V5-139P, 3D3V_PWR is shorted to ground, at first I thought PT4101 or PU4104 is short I remove those two parts but still got 3D3V_PWR shorted to ground, I remove the coil PL4101 to check some shorted pads, but nothing. It seems the short is after PL4101, I check PU4101, 3.3v and 5v are present. It seems a dead end to me I will not jump to a conclusion for a shorted CPU. Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

      any sign of water damage on any IC?
      If no symptom, while the 3.3v coil is removed, inject voltage at the shorted line to see which IC gets warm. It may be SIO or PCH or a capacitor.

              No water damage, I did not try voltage injection yet. mcplslg123... yes pin 8 of bios is also shorted to ground. I suspect the bios IC and remove it, still shorted. My last effort to do now is doing the voltage injection to see which parts get warm...

                  if 3.3v line for bios is short, you can connect 1v power supply and see which segment is warm .i thinks you have a short smd capacitor

                      Go with the suggestions of @kokono and@caspian. Your 3v line is shorted and it could be anything, shorted cap,pch etc.

                                  Hello:

                                  I have both these laptops that appeared to have the same fault so I thought I would have a go at replacing the PCH as something to learn, they both are using the same PCH.


                                  I started on the ACER:

                                  Up on connecting power no signs of life but current is consumed from the bench power supply and the PCH is hot.
                                  All the caps on the top of the PCH are showing 0 ohms and the 3.3v rail is shorted.

                                  I followed the videos from Sorin, Electronics Repair School on Youtube heating from the bottom to install. I practised on around 10 scrap...

                                  Acer TravelMate P214 - N19Q7 main power rail shorted to ground
                                  by mkdj
                                  Dear all,

                                  I have taken out the motherboard of a Acer TravelMate P214. There is a short to ground on the main power rail (19V). I don't have the schematics or boardview for this board (DAZ8IMB1AA0 REVA). But I have found 4 MOSFETS close to the main power rail : 2 N-Channel and 2 P-Channel.

                                  I have checked resistance across each of the 4 MOSFETS. I have the following readings:
                                  Both N-Channel Mosfets: nothing odd

                                  P-Channel MOSFET number 1:
                                  source - drain : 117 kOhm
                                  source - gate: 96 Ohm
                                  gate - drain: 117 kOhm

                                  Hi, Would appreciate some help.
                                  I have an Apple Late 2013 15" A1398 MacBook Pro with Logic Board 820-3662.
                                  Get charger light but no fan spin or chime. No liquid damage.
                                  Found PPBUS and VCORE both shorted to ground. Other rails were ok.
                                  Removed VCORE MOSFETS U7310, U7320 and U7330. Found U7330 was in fact shorted.
                                  With the 3 MOSFETS removed, get PPBUS and fan spin. VCORE is still hard shorted to ground (0 ohms).
                                  Attempted voltage insertion on VCORE to locate short using bench supply set at 1.0 VDC and 4.95 Amps (max current for my...

                                  Lenovo Thinkpad L480 : 3VALW rail shorted to ground, but I can't find the shorted component
                                  by mkdj
                                  Dear all,

                                  Laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad L480 (boardview can be found in this badcaps topic). When pressing the power button the LED power light turns on, but nothing else happens.

                                  I removed the motherboard, checked for shorts on the main inductors. I found that there is a short to ground on the +3VALW_P rail (@PL201). I soldered a wire on the PL201 inductor, and I injected up to 1.3V with my power supply. Current drawn is approximately 3.2A.

                                  I used a small thermal camera to locate the shorted component. But nothing on the board heats significantly, except the...
