    ASUS X555LD Rev 3.3 Dead laptop motherboard

    Hi everyone!
    I'm trying to troubleshoot an ASUS X555LD Rev 3.3 motherboard which gives no signs of life (no leds, no power on, nothing at all).

    After disassembly I followed the repair guide from another thread and tested several points for shorts, I found shorts to gnd on:
    PCE8301: AC_BAT_SYS
    PL8100: +3VADSW0
    PL8101: +5VSUS0
    PL8502: +NVVDD

    When connected to the charger I noticed that PU8100 (which is an UP1589Q dual step down chip) was abnormally overheating so I removed it and tried to replace with a new one (which did not fix the issue, also, being my first rework I was not totally sure it was correctly soldered so I removed it again )

    After this I also noticed that when plugged, +19V only reaches PQ8801 mosfet and no voltage is present on PQ8801 nor PR8806.

    Is anyone willing to help a complete newbie bring this laptop back to life? Is that even possible or I screwed up? Any help/comment/suggestion would be gladly appreciated!

    Hello Gaaat,
    sadly I just have a very similar Problem except that my board does not have problems in the +19V area its just that
    PL8501/2 are grounded on the +NVDD side aswell as
    PL8003 on the +VCCIN side
    PU8100 is very hot for me aswell
    But I saw how it died my Laptop was just running doing some workloads and suddenly shutoff I'm not sure if that has something to do with it charging while having a workload running.
    I don't really have any knowledge of electronics in anyway sadly but for me it seems that on of the chips that shuld deliver power to cpu and gpu are fried but couldn't find anything that schouldn't be grounded around them (PU8501 | PU8000 | PU8100)
