    Identifiying this component on a ASUS X512JA board

    Hi,

    I have what a X512JA with no backlight. This is caused by the screen not getting any voltage on the backlight pins. This IC, which I believe is a load switch, is not taking the Vin and sending it to Vout. Vin in this instance, being the AC or Batt, and Vout being the rail going directly to the 4 backlight pins on the edp connector.


    I believe the markings on the first line is W07T, second line 2176.

    I would like more information on this IC, or a boardview if available (I have looked for this speicfic model and could not find it. I also looked for boardviews of other ASUS models, but could not find one with the same backlight circuit)

    Pins:
    1 - Vin (AC or batt, it's at 19V with AC plugged in)
    2 - (Not sure)
    3 - GND
    4 - Ven (or I believe at least, it's at 3.3V)
    5 - (Not sure, it seems to have a 200k pull-down to GND)
    6 - Vout (When the laptop gets plugged in, this pin goes from about 4.5V, up to 6.5V, until it drops down to 2V, while the pin I premuse to be Ven stays constant at 3.3V)

    To test, I bypassed the IC using the jumper pads above it to test the backlight, and it did in fact work properly.

    Thank you very much for any information you have on this IC, the board for this model, or a board with a similar circuit for the backlight.

    Have a good day !

    Hi. Perhaps GW2176 ?

    See attached datasheet.

      See attached datasheet.
      I love the guess, thank you very much. Unfortunately, as pin 1 is at +19V, it is not plausible per the specified absolute maximum ratings in the datasheet. Thank you again, it's much appreciated.

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        by Tynan Dill
        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

        Assuming...

        Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
        Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

        ASUS STRIX Z490-F GAMING - No POST, stubborn board
        by DynaxSC
        Hi,

        I have this very stubborn ASUS mobo on the bench, and I already face the wall with it. It just refuses to POST, although everything seems to be OK.

        The situation looks like this:

        After connecting the board to the power supply on Nuvoton (SLP_S3#, pin 64), the Low signal (50 ohm resistance) appears immediately. PWRNTN# signal goes through Nuvoton to the chipset (confirmed after removing the chipset). The following conditions are then met for the chipset to generate the SLP_S3# signal:

        1. RTC oscillates normally (32.768KHz).

        TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
        by howardc64
        All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
        • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
        • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

        ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING — Board not powering on properly
        by ShadowAi12
        Hi,
        I recently bought an ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard that was listed as "dead, not powering on." However, it does show some signs of life. I've performed several basic measurements and would like to share the results.
        • The board enters a "ready to power on" state after plugging in the PSU.
        • Pressing the power button increases power draw.
        • Sometimes, touching the RSMRST_L pad with a multimeter probe causes the board to shut off and return to standby.
        Measurements:
        (taken after pressing the power button, while the board is attempting to start)
