    acer la-e921p shorting mosfet

    Dont know history of the laptop.... but the laptop was completely dead and will not power on..
    Checked and found short on 19vb line... and found pq1402 mosfet shorted pin 7 (NVVDDS_SW1) and 2 (+19VB_NVVDDS), second mosfet pq1401 was ok.
    When replace it i get 19v but when powering on i see fans spin then nothing...then i checked again...short on same mosfet.

    Then i investigate more and found very low ohm resistence between pin 1 and 20 on pu1401 so i replaced it, also replaced pr1401 (dead, showing 60 ohms)...and started motherbaord again..this time the laptop did several times restarting...i cen felt cpu heating...then again nothing..so i checked again short on pq1402!?

    Dont know where to look more? what is shorting mosfet? any ideas?

    PQ1402 PIn 2 and 7 are shorted with what? With ground or with each other? If there was Continuity beetween this Pins, there was probably 19V going straight to your GPU...

    I don't know the correct Resistance between this two rails in PU1401, but a new reading after replacing the IC Would give us a hint.

    What is the exact Resistance of PL1401 to ground in Ohms?

      Yes, they are shorted with each other...and yes my thoughts exactly, probably 19v going through gpu...but resistence to ground on pl1401 is arround 2 ohms....?
      And why they keep shorting?

        Maybe you're Lucky and the GPU is still Alive. However, Something Is wrong in this area. You Said PQ1402 is fine. So did you compared voltages & resistances on the Gate-Pins between PQ1401 and PQ1402. Maybe the high Gate is Open all the time. Checked the "shorted" Mosfet Out of the Board to confirm the short? Did I Understand it right that you already have replaced PU1401? If you don't find Something obvious, i believe We need a complete measurement if PU1401.

          i checked mosfet outside board and shorted...This two mosfets are in parallal and they have the same pins for gates, source and drain...I wrote it wrong..it is allways pq1402 that is shorted..and pq1401 stays alive (probably this proteced gpu...if it is alive)
          Yes it seems that i will have to check every pin, resistor...near this area...

            Acer vx5-591G I removed Mosfet and it works without it?! could it cause problem?
            by ipn00tic
            Hello everybody,

            I'm learning alone at home (with you) of course.

            I have an Acer VX5-591G laptop that was given to me as scrap where I was training and diagnosing.

            The Laptop turns on and starts to boot for a few seconds but before displaying any image it short circuits the main 19V power supply and turns off.

            I managed to "repair" the laptop and it turns on and everything works, I even did game tests for the CPU and GPU and everything works but what I did was remove a Mosfet (PQ807) from the VCC_GT power supply.
            The VCC_GT power...

            ACER PEW71 LA-5894P CPU_B+ MOSFET NEED HEPL
            by jermac0711
            Brand : Acer
            MOBO: PEW71 LA-5894P
            Issue: initially no power. PQ73 mosfet is busted. (AO4466) . Unit has power now but PQ87 is heating up too much (observerd under thermal camera) causing to shut down the system. I tried to remove the removable CPU and the mosfet temperature went normal. I have a replacement CPU from same model but everytime there's a CPU, mosfet PQ87 temperature is rising rapidly.
            I hope you guys can shed some light. Thank you so much in advance.

            Acer: No power after first MOSFET no short? Looking for guidance.
            by vexarvf1s
            Looking for guidance in tracking down missing main power rail.
            I have an Acer that I am working on. It runs on the battery, but does not charge. I changed the power adapter and same thing battey not charging, and continues to discharge. So I opened the computer and started looking for the problem to fix.
            First thing I checked is if the power form the charger is getting to the mainboard. I found that 19V is going all the way to the first MOSFET. So DC jack is fine. However I do not have power past the first MOSFET.
            So checked for voltage on the gate of the first MOSFET and...
