    HP 6830s no power, orange light blinking

    Hi,

    I am beginner in motherboard repairs, and I am troubleshooting a laptop which suddenly stopped working.
    When battery or charger is connected, charging port light up as blue and orange light starts blinking. Power button does nothing.

    I disassembled laptop, and measured all power rails and everything seems fine.
    Then I located this problem to LM393 "Low Offset Voltage
    Dual Comparator".

    When I touch pin 3 on LM393 (or anything it is connected direclty, see circled points in photo) with anything conductive (probe, tweezers, finger, screwdriver (plastic has no effect)), voltage on pin 3 rises from 2,27V to 2,33V after i touch it, blinking stops and then i can boot laptop.

    But after shutting it down problem persists.

    I cannot figure out why this happens




    Should I replace LM393 (U4)? Could it be that simple?

    Yes could be LM393 but i doubt resistor connected to pin3(the other end of this resistor is connected to pin1). Either the resistor it self is bad or there is damged track. inspect it carefully to find out.

          macbook A2918, orange light off when shut off
          by mosfetratus
          When i fully shut off mac, orange light goes off and wont react to power button. I have difficult time resetting with combination "shift+control+option and power button", because it rarely works (reason unknown), when i manage to get orange light and then press power button macbook wont turn on and orange light goes off. When i hold combination with power button it turns on, and works fine if put it to sleep mode.

          Works with battery and charges, but when i shut off i get this problem.

          It had liquid spill. Board has no corrosion, keyboard is working, power button...

          Nintendo 2DS XL – Orange light, no blue light, signs of overheating
          by Tomylee
          Hi everyone, I have a Nintendo 2DS XL that shows the orange charging light when plugged in, but nothing happens when I press the power button — no blue light, no screen, no sound.

          Here's what I've observed:

          All ribbon cables are properly connected

          Battery is present and in good condition

          No reaction even with screens disconnected

          There's a visible burn mark / overheating sign on the metal shield, right above the CPU


          I’m suspecting an issue with the CPU, PMIC, NAND, or a power...

          820-3115-B No Orange Light, Won’t charge battery
          by Rezendes
          Hello, I have a MacBook 820-3115-B board that never shows an Orange light and goes straight to a green light and turns itself on when the ac adapter is plugged in. System won’t run off battery and turns off immediately when ac power unplugged. I believe the battery should be ok as it was a replacement not too long ago but it’s possible that’s the issue as most anything is possible I guess. I don’t have any spare batteries or donor boards although I have ordered 2 on the way. I have replaced U7000 and same results. I have also applied flux and reflowed the SMC IC and no change. Nothing...
