    Interesting finds

    Hello guys

    I was playing around with a working board, i removed the bios and soldered a dead bios chip, guess what happened...

    The laptop came on and quickly shuts down

    Sometimes we struggle with such cases where the laptop is coming on and quickly shuts down, not only shorted to ground 5v creates this but even a bios chip causes such thing and some other components.

    Please guys you can share some other experiences as well they might help someone

    Thank you 🙏🏿

    It obviously turns on and shuts down immediately. It turns on, tries to read the bios rom, fails and shuts off.

        Asrock z97x starts then shuts off after 4 seconds, sometimes more, no post
        by chaos-theory
        I have a really weird problem, this motherboard was working normally, someday it just started and all fans were running but didn't want to post, tried resetting bios, checking CPU and it was getting warm tried external gpu, flashed bios with programmer, but same problem.
        Next day after several attempts the board goes into protection mode, no more staying on, I turn on the PSU fans starts directly turning, it used to not start until I press the pwr button, now it starts directly and fans spins, and shuts off after 3 seconds sometimes less, then won't start again unless I unplug the PSU and...

        A1706 820-00239 - Works, but sometimes shuts off when the charger is disconnected
        by baglaivlad
        Hello everybody!

        Have in work A1706 820-00239 model. Originally no power, shorted PPBUS_G3H because of corroded C6403, C6404. Some water damage around this components, but nothing major.

        After replacing this capacitors the laptop came back to work, I reinstalled MacOS and had no issues until I started to test Type-C ports. Sometimes the laptop shuts off immediately when some action with Type-C ports performed (charger disconnected or USB device inserted/disconnected). I checked Type-C port flexes, they are okay, but I cleaned them anyway. I can't see any signs of liquid...

        Dell inspiron 15 7567 sudden shuts down
        by samuelphirik
        Hi. I have a pre-owned Dell Inspiron 15 7567. It worked fine
        During the first 3 days of owning it until Dell Update software popped a notification about a latest Bios version 1.15.0 and latest Intel ME Software update of which I updated. It rebooted and firstly, Upgraded Bios from version 1.8.1 to 1.15.0 then it started upgrading Intel ME firmware. After that update, my laptop shuts down without notice (Like thermal shutdown)
        I checked Thermal Paste on the processor and the Graphics Chip and it was dry. Replacing thermal paste has not helped me.
        Now I've noticed that laptop...
