    Ailenware 17 R4

    Hello,

    I am working on an Ailenware 17 R4 M/B BAP10 LA-D751P Rev 1.0
    I am getting a two red and one blue code on the power button which said CPU fail. I tried removing the battery connector and the bios batter reset, no help. I also re-flowed the CPU and I still have the same error. I believe that the CPU overheated and failed, is there anything else I can try?

    Thank You

    try to check all the voltage rail.. specially the voltage for the processor..1.2 or 1v is good.. but try to see if it overheats.is the processor fan spinning? did you check the fan? reflowing the processor without the proper tool can kill it.. if there is no processor voltage.. try to look for short circuit in the processor side.. short circuit meaning 0 ohm. it is not common to have a defective processor because it has a built in protection for over heating and over voltage..but of course it has always an exception. my opinion.. its likely to have a failed chip if the processor have a built in gpu..

        Thank You for your feedback and troubleshooting tips, I will look into this.
        I need to figure out where is the voltage rail at.

        What happened was the owner never cleaned the cooling fans and they were full of dust and hair until she got a CPU overheat code. When it is powered on now, the cooling fans come on for 7 seconds and goes out for 3 seconds. It does this several times until the power led flashes 2 red and 1 blue code, then the cooling fans go to full speed.

        When researching the CPU failure, this has been a common occurrence with this laptop and some were within a year old.

        Thank you

          You need to check voltage on all big grey coils.

            experienced that symptoms in Lenovo laptop the fan is gummed up, laptop always power off for 10 minutes but the costumer keep on using it for almost a year. see how reliable intel processors are then this symptom came.. no display the fan spins at full speed. all voltage rail are at the correct values.. what i did is clean the processor fan put some fresh thermal paste and i reflash the bios.. that solves it.. maybe try to reflash the bios.. the frequent on and off state of the unit must corrupted the bios..

              Thanks for all the info,

              I tried using the SOIC clip and got errors. I will de-solder the chip and read it and save original Bios. Is there any specific Bios that worked well for this board. It is a Winbond 25Q80DVS1G chip.

              Thank You

                The bios you want is marked 25Q128 . https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=85876 .You can try the bios from post #12 ,if you want your own service tag adding you should post your own bios backup in that thread.

                .

                  Wow,

                  That was a really quick response. Went to take it apart and just found the 25Q128 labeled UH4 and was going to update my findings and you beat me too it. Thanks for the information and the link

                    Hello,

                    I flashed the firmware, no help. I found a leaking inductor at the CPU. The inductor measures 4.18mm LxW 1.83mm H. I believe that it is a series 4020 chip. The part I found is SRP4020TA-1R0M, would this be the correct one and will this cause the CPU overheat fault code?

                    Sorry for the noob questions. I'm new at this.

                    Thank You very much for your help

                        Dear members,
                        I have a problem with this machine that still I can't solve, I hope some of you can suggest me something.
                        I was the first one to open the machine and touch the mainboard, in fact the Lenovo seal was intact the first time that I unscrewed all the internal screws.
                        The ower told me that it was working very good until Windows kicked "something like a firmware update" (owner's words) then the system started acting weird.
                        When you try to start it, some seconds after having pressed the power button, Lenovo splashscreen appears, then after 1 second, in the...

                        Surface Laptop 1769 SSD Failed KUS040202M-B000
                        by gurj1979
                        Hey guys,

                        I've got a Surface Laptop 1769 (the nasty cloth type palmrest) which has a failed 512GB Samsung PM971 (KUS040202M-B000).
                        These are on BGA291, but I don't know which is equivalent to KUS040202M-B000.

                        AliExpress has this but it's expensive.

                        Can anyone help me find a reasonably prices equivalent which I can use as a replacement ?
                        Or which NVMe can I remove it from ?

                        Hi

                        I have a QN65QN90A which was purchased around launch I guess making it about 1.5-2 years old... had been working fine until a few days ago, simply went black and would no longer turn on (at all). No standby light and no typical PSU relay click etc. Absolutely dead.

                        Pulled it apart without doing much research first, suspecting the power supply as it had a faint buzz (I guess due to the forthcoming found short), investigated PSU for some time and concluded there was no fault that I could spot with the board removed.

                        Came to learn after a bit more research...

                        Lenovo NM-B891 (X390/T490 etc..) failed PU1001
                        by TheDJVG
                        Hi everyone!

                        Got a Lenovo X390 with a NM-B891 motherboard. When USB-C connected it negotiates 12v without any problems but no current is drawn. Inspection of the board shows this failed component:

                        Based on the boardview I was able to find this is a MP86901. I've removed this component and cleared the pads.

                        Connecting the charger again shows no improvement (12v, no current).

                        Resistence around this component (near the CPU) measure around 2.1 and 3 Ohm, probably acceptable for the location of the components being CPU related?

                        So far...
