    elitebook 840 G1 - dead, need help

    hello all,

    need help for an elitebook 840 G1, MB : 6050A2560201
    The laptop worked perfectly untill the message "hardware failure" appear on the screen
    sins, it is dead : no charging led, no power, no fan spin
    already try to do reset bios and discharge caps, the same

    measures :
    main power rail : 19V
    L6100 : 3.3V
    L6150 :5V
    Power btn : 3.3V except LED_PWRSTBY 2.6 on off course button led is not comming on
    L6300 : 1.05V
    L6000 : 1.03V
    L6200 : 0V
    L6600 : 0V

    on the other side :
    Q6050 1V on drain, 0,654 on source
    Q6051 : 0,654 and 0,937
    Q6012 have 19v on drain and gate, and never drop gate when pwr button pushed

    i have verified that power button does on/off goes to 0V from 3.3V

    so i think this couls be SIO, but something strange, if i plug the charger partialy, the power button led comes but blink all the time , and it shut down when the charger is plugged completely

    if i measure the lines in this setup, all lines are egal except on Q6051 the voltage is oscillating between 0,654 and less

    no short find on any coil or caps
    nothing went hot when plug in, just cpu very little warm

    what can i check now ?

    thanx

    hello
    some other informations
    all the tries were made without battery
    so i try with :
    with battery , l6000 rise to 12V, and so the mosfet too
    but all this area is really hot! and power button not blink with charger partialy plugin.

      Seems like something wrong in dc in or charger area. Check U6000 Pins for voltages and make sure Q6000/Q6001 mosfets are not shorted.

        Hello
        thanx for help
        voltages on u6000 seems to be ok
        i measure diode and resitance for the two mosfets
        Q6000 seems ok
        Q6001 seems strange :
        in diode mode i have 0,135 red probe on source, black on drain, 2.99 if i red probe on drain
        in Ohm mode : 155 ohm red probe on source, and very instable measure red probe on drain, oscillating between 6 and 20kohm never stable

        other weird things :
        xx if i touch u6100 with my finger, i heard a bzzzz sound and then the 3.3 and 5V shut down. all measure are ok near this chip
        xx the u6600 have no voltages except 3 and 5V, but if i understand it is a chip for control of cpu , so if the laptop not start it is normal, right ?

        thanx guys

          Remember that you skin is conductive. Touching it is most likely messing with the feedback circuit and the buck converter is shutting off.

          If you mean the buck converter for cpu vcore that is completely normal. There will be no vcore if the board is off.

            ok thank you
            as the voltages are ok (3.3 and 5V for one, and OV shut off for the other) this part is ok
            great

            i think the variation of resistance on mosfet Q6001 and the fact that is the area which is hot, there is probably a problem on this line ? the value of resistance is normal ?

            thanx

              Desolder Q6001 and measure the resistances:
              Gate to Source should be a high resistance.
              Drain to Source should be in the MOhm range.

                hello
                some news : desolder Q6001 , looks fine, not short
                i have alxays the same issue, no led no fan no power nothing but 10V 3.3V 5V 1.05V ok
                i have extract EC.bin from winbond chip, seems ok compare to one given in the specific tread
                but bios chip can't be extract ,right ?

                can my problem could due to bios ?

                  If any paricular part of the mobo is heating up, its not likely bios issue-so leave that untouched and rather find out what is shorted.

                    Ok. Copy that.
                    But what i find strange IS that this part cet warm only if batterie IS plug in.
                    And although thé voltage : it slowly rise from 11v to 12.5v

                      some news
                      i decided to give up, nothing find short or something
                      after assembled the entire laptop, i decided to try another time to power it on
                      i pressed the power button, and LED turn on !!! but for only 4 seconds, then caps lock led turn on once and the laptop shut down.
                      nothing since
                      it's the first time it shows me a little bit of life

                      what could it be then ?
                      i understand nothing on this one

                      thx all

                        and more news;
                        try to put lab power supply directly on battery port (of course without 3V rail)
                        when i push power button i have the charging led that shines 9 times
                        but not start at all

                        i read that there's a one wire circuit on this board, which voltage should i have on middle pin of charger ? mine got 19V

                          hello, some other news, more interesting i think
                          i've left the laptop for 24H without battery or anything
                          i have charged the battery with power supply
                          now the laptop gives me a error code i think, when i plug the charger or when i put the charged battery, the leds flash like this :

                          charging led : orange-white-orange-white-orange-white-orange-off in cycle
                          and at the same time with the last orange one i have : power led, caps lock ledand a white led near charging led that came on ONE time and then shut.

                          this loop untill i remove charger or battery.

                          this one could help you ?
                          thank you for your hellp

                            Dead Dell Latitude 5420 not receiving 20 volts from USB-C charger
                            by BTubbs200
                            Hello,

                            Dell Latitude 5420 P137G
                            Board: LA-K491P REV A01

                            I have received this laptop which was described as "does not power on or accept charge." Battery shows no sign of charging when charger is plugged in, nor does the board show any signs of life when battery is unplugged and charger is plugged in. No light from the LED at all or any other indications of activity.

                            Board seems to have no shorts, all power rails are fine and show high resistance.

                            When charger is plugged in, voltage is present in 3.3V rail but absent in others....

                            ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
                            by flat-earther
                            The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

                            Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

                            This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
                            Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
                            If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...
