Hi guys
I got this laptop some time ago, but started to check it out just now.
Friend that gave it to me says that one day, after turning it of the next day would not start. He sent it to some repair shop but they didn't manage to fix it. But they did manage to tear few traces for bios ic. That is fixed now, but i am not sure that the bios that is programmed to ic is the right one for this laptop. Found few dumps here on the site but with neither of them laptop starts.
Laptop is not starting, not charging battery. Plugged in LED is on, but charging LED does not come on. As soon as I plug it in it starts to draw around 220mA. My main question is could it be that IT8995 is corrupted and because of that is not starting even to charge the battery? Or is BQ24780s completely independent of EC and it should start to charge battery as soon as plugged in?
3.3V, 5V are present, 1.2 for ram, 0.8V for 940MX.
I was not able to find any obvious shorts.
Can BIOS or EC cause Laptop to "turn on" and get all votages except VCCGT without even pressing power button (which btw tested ok)?

Thanks
