    ASUS UX31A won't start. Black screen, no LEDs, buzzing sound coming from motherboard.

    Hello, I need some help here.
    My ASUS UX31A won't start anymore after a fan cleaning session. At first, after reassembly, there were the power LED, F2 LED, and Caps Lock LED all lighted up but with a black screen. Now, it became worse, black screen, no LEDs, and a strange buzzing sound coming from the motherboard when AC adapter is plugged in. AC adapter LED is green and sometimes, is orange but if I unplug it and plug it back, it becomes green again.. I tried all troubleshooting I could find on internet.
    Here's what I did yet :

    · Electrical discharge - unplugged battery, pressed and hold power button for 1 minute, plugging AC adapter and test.
    · Trying to boot without battery.
    · Unplugging and plugging back all motherboards connectors.
    · Checked from burnt or damaged parts on the motherboard. Nothing found there.
    · Pressing and holding power button for 30 seconds.
    · Remove SSD and tried to power on.
    · Disconnected IO board and tried to power on.
    · Verified keyboard and power button connector. Nothing is loose there. I reseated it just in case and still nothing.

    Nothing worked there so I need help.

    Maybe the power button has gone bad, so if you know what pins to short to power on the laptop, im interested.

    Here is a schematic if needed : schematic link here
    Motherboard model : UX31A2 MAIN BOARD REV. 2.0

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    remove everything from the motherboard (ssd, wifi, keyboard, cooler, cpu radiator, battery, etc) turn on the board and see what happens ... measure voltages..19v, 5v, 3.3v, etc, maybe you did some Shortly when you installed the radiator, or other component ... check this.

        Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
        by LEECH666
        Good day ladies and gentleman!

        I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

        This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

        I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

        LAPTOP HP 15-DY2059LA / i3-12gen has stability problems in vccpu coils, BUZZING SOUND. ¿Coil whine?
        by valente222
        Hello friends, I just received this equipment, it has a strange hum on the board. The computer works fine, outputs an image and starts Windows. But the problem is when charging the battery, a constant loop to charge. In short, it never charges the battery. When the charger is connected, the stability of the CPU is stressed and it seems that the coils make that electrical sound louder. This board is modern and I don't have a schematic. I have checked with a microscope and the pcb is completely new. Has anyone had this happen to them before? defect in driver ic?...

        Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
        by Christos Tsiligiannis
        Hello to the forum.

        My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

        So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

        To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

        So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...

        Corsair K70 LUX RGB dying LEDs
        by Pipolups
        Hi there !

        I'm having an issue for several weeks with my quite old K70 LUX RGB keyboard. I haven't used it for few months, and once I setup up again my desktop computer, I got several dead LEDs on that keyboard. I tried the Corsair troubleshooting thing (disabling options in iCUE, ...) but nothing changed so I conclude that for some reason some LEDs went in retirement...😅
        Decision taken to change these LEDs as I have access to desoldering iron and binocular magnifier, I wrote a ticket to tech support, hopping to obtain the LEDs reference and... They refused to tell me 🙄...
