    820-00840-a 00875-a SMC compatible?

    Hi,

    anyone knows if SMCs from these boards are compatible? I have 820-00875-a with bad smc, and a 820-00840-a donor board. They are very similar, same ram amount, 00875 has 2,0 i5, 00840 has has 2,3 i5.

    Not sure, 00875 is the 2016 model while 00840 is the 2017 model. They are very close so it may work. RAM and CPU don't matter.

      Dell G15 5515 RGB Keyboard Not Detected (Compatible Keyboard, Possible BIOS/EC Issue?)
      by NotEnough
      Hi everyone,



      I'm working on a Dell G15 5515 (Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050 Ti) and recently installed a compatible 4-zone RGB keyboard and controller (for Dell G15 5510/5511/5515 models). While the keyboard functions for typing, the RGB lighting is not detected by Alienware Command Center (AWCC), which displays “No AlienFX devices found.”



      What I've Tried So Far:
      • Reseated the cables.
      • Reinstalled AWCC and AlienFX services.
      • Attempted BIOS downgrade but no improvement.
      • Inspected ribbon cables for damage.
      • Explored the possibility of BIOS or

      I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
      Initial Findings:
      • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
      • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
      • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
      Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
      • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.

      List of compatible laptop motherboards
      by Deby

      This is a list of compatible laptop motherboard information that I have been collecting for some time.
      And it's still ongoing.
      Every time I come across information that a board is compatible with another, I write it down.
      Anyone who wants to, can continue to expand the list.
      Packed in the rar, is an excel table that has additional information.

      BD35231 compatible replacement
      by m4a2t0t
      Anyone know of a compatible replacement that has an adjustable output? The BD35230 has a fixed output of 1.0V and would be acceptable but I cannot find it anywhere. There is also the BD3523 which has an adjustable output but its also nowhere to be found. I could probably source them from alibaba but I dont have that much time and I dont want to make a huge order.

      Or perhaps you know how the BD35231 can be modified to output 0.95-1.0V? The board does have empty pads for an adjustable IC but Ive only been able to make the output go up.

      Thanks for any help...

      Help identifying AMCH073 regulator or finding a compatible replacement
      by taurtnt
      Hi everyone,
      I’m trying to identify a step-down regulator marked AMCH073. It’s used on the PEX power rail of a graphics card. I can’t find any datasheet or info online.
      Here’s what I’ve observed:
      • It has a QFN-16 footprint, similar to NB670.
      • Pins 1, 2, 15, 16 are connected together and go to the inductor, so likely SW (switch node).
      • Pin 9 is connected to GND, which doesn’t match NB670 (where pin 9 is SW).
      • Pin 8 also seems to be tied to the same GND plane.
      • The chip only says AMCH073, no manufacturer logo or other markings....
