    Hp 15-n267sg Strange behaviour CMOS reset (502) , not a battery fault!

    I have a problem with an hp 15-n267sg .
    The device was not turning on because a faulty superIO.
    After replacing the ITE chip it's working fine but the bios not at all, date and time keeps restarting (00:00:00 /01.01.2013)
    and I am not able to make any bios settings change...
    I didn't see this kind of strange behaviour on other devices , superIO is soldered properly and tried different bios dumps but same...

    The CMOS battery is ok , what else can cause this?
    Please help.
    Thanks

    The bios flashed is from hp website or random dump from internet?? Check RTCRST# & SRTCRST# to start with. No power attached to the board, only cmos cell inserted.

      i dont think its a bios problem because the original bios was also working, but i can give a try with a bios from hp website as well.

      where are RTCRST# & SRTCRST# located in this board , i cant find anything...

          Didnt know its AMD Platform as you just gave model number. AMD' RTC circuit is bit different. You can use search and type RTC in your pdf file and proceed to rest voltages. To begin with voltage on pad G1?? As far as bios is concerned, i too dont dount it but its always wiser to flash with bios from manufacturer's website to rule out bios issue.

            When CMOS cell connected D2 diode measurements one side 0v dropped in diode mode, that cannot be right,
            but without the cell is reading 0,2V dropped...

            How can short the cmos cell the D2 diode?

              G1 is present 3,2V
              But when CMOS battery connected C607 also shorted to ground....

                C607 shoul'nt show shorted to gnd. What is the voltage on D1/D2-Both pins and C607 cap??
                01.measure without power, only cmos cell inseted
                02.Measure with adapter connected, cmos cell also inserted.

                        What else may be faulty?

                          It could be U18 is faulty. You need to check all the pins. You can try removing caps connected to RTC line one by one and see if it helps. The mb can be powered safely without these caps. Worst case scenario could be AMD APU is faulty.

                            Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this post belongs in this section? If not, please kindly move it to right section Mod/Admin.

                            I have a Gigabyte G5 KE laptop and I have forgotten the BIOS Admin password. I can enter BIOS menu but when trying to enter BIOS settings it ask for my password which I have forgotten. I can boot also in to Windows 11. I have tried to clearing CMOS by removing the CMOS battery for 10h. I have tried also to remove both power battery and CMOS battery and bridge the CMOS 2 pin connector on the motherboard. Then when booting I get a message that NVRAM has been...

                            AMD Desktop Kit - no display, no POST (?)
                            by seppde
                            Hey,
                            I've recently sold a PC and (trying to reduce e-waste) told the buyer to bring me his old setup, and I'd take a look at it. Recently I've been trying to repair laptops, mainly, with so-so results.
                            I'm now looking at an AMD Desktop Kit with no display. Apparently this board reuses (possibly defective) Playstation 5 chips 4700s. It does not provide an internal GPU, or better say in any case it doesn't provide an output for the internal GPU.

                            There was one obvious fault: One of the caps of the CPU power rail was missing, that happened when the previous owner was changing...

                            Gigabyte B550M AORUS SuperIo
                            by BoBtimus
                            Hi i am currently trying to repair a Gigabyte B550M AORUS. One of the fan headers was handled wrong (fan splitter plugged wrong).
                            So far i found a short on the pwm line coming from the SuperIo (ITE IT8689CXS). I compared that to the other pwm channels they are not shorted to ground...
                            After removing the fan driver the short remains so i suggest the superio is faulty.
                            The board draws about 200 mA in idle and shows no reaction at all to the power button.
                            My next guess is to remove the superio to see if the short is gone afterwards but i wanted to check before because it sits...
