    HP Elitebook Folio 1040 g3 Capslock/Numlock 5 blinks

    Hi everyone....

    please i need help; I have an HP Elitebook Folio 1040 g3 which was damaged by water.... I've replaced the 5VPCU regulator IC [Power IC] which shorted out due to the water damage.

    Now, it turns on, blinks the capslock/numlock light 5 times then restarts and repeats the blink process again and does that continuously.

    According to HP site, the 5 blinks is a System Board Failure.

    Who has any idea on how it can be fixed should PLEASE help out... No component on the board has labels, so it is hard to trace using Schematics

    [MOD EDIT] Link to schematic - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...-y0f-schematic

    What are the missing voltage on the coils ? Is your +3/5/1.8VPCU are fine? Follow the page 67 power block & update what are the missing voltage

      Okay, thanks for the prompt reply, +3/5/1.8VPCU are okay...

      only 2 coils have missing voltages

          It is not labelled on the board. Lemme try to trace it using the schematics

            Coils PL36 and PL38 have NO volts (0v).

            Which makes +VCC_GT absent

              check the Resistence to GND on PL38/36 , remove PL12 & power the MB to see if it's power up , check PQ16/17 check PU16/17 for any short & voltage of all pins PU16/17 ?

                Resistance to ground on PL36/38 = 4.6 ohms

                Without PL12, the problem is still the same, 5 blinks .....

                    check DRVON on EN on PU22 than live is ok for me ! pin 2 is not GND PWM1_2ph so test again Ohms , PIN 6 is GND so check again

                        Those readings are for PU16. Pin 2 of PU16 is PGND while Pin 2 of PU17 is PWM1_2ph

                              Yep PG is your problem how did miss it find out PR302 PR297 PR67 PR180 for any short or leak if ok remove PR302 & see if PG is coming back

                                PR302 & PR297 are short pads

                                PR67 = 2.58k ohms (3.3k ohms stated in schematics)

                                After removing PR302, PG is still 1.3v. But after comparing it with another working board (1040 g1), the 1.3v seems to be okay......

                                    PU14 Pin 3 [PG] = 3.06v [1040 g3]

                                    I haven't seen a schematic for 1040 g1. I want to try and search for a schematic of another motherboard using same power IC (3v_5v Regulator) as 1040 g1
