    Dell E5550 no power up

    Hello!
    I received a E5550 today with shortcircuit in DC input (charger went off when plugged in)
    I found shorted cap ( PC714 ) removed it, not replace it and short went off, charger remain lit but still no power on laptop (led power on for only 0.5 sec)
    Then i noticed another short on cap PC5 but the cap is good, not shorted so i assumed PQ6 is shorted but schematics confused me.
    They state PQ6A and PQ6B (page 40) but on boardview and board it self i only see PQ6.
    What am i missing?

    Thank you!

    PQ6A and PQ6B = 2 x mosfets inside a single package (ie. Dual mosfets inside the package).

      So basically it's the same component?
      Ok thank you!

          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...

          Dell Latitude 5310 2 in 1 Laptop does not power on, shorted capacitor replaced but not solved
          by im_trying
          Laptop does not power on but has a fix white light on power button, when connected to power.

          I found, while trying to diagnose, a hot spot in the motherboard and found it to be a shorted capacitor (see photo below) on the 2.5v (2D5V_S3 on schematics). After replacing it with one from a donor board, still, the board does not turn on...

          The usb-c meter reads upon connection 20.1v and 0.00a, with some occasional flashes to 0.03amps. After 10/15 seconds circa, it goes to 5.2v and draws an almost constant 0.07amps. (same behaviour as before)
          To my fingers, nothing seems...

          Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
          by PantherDave
          Hi all!

          I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. ๐Ÿ˜…

          I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

          Dell Latitude 5501 LA-H181P shorted power rail
          by guizmo1967
          Hello,

          This is my problem:

          Laptop: Dell Latitude 5501
          Motherboard: EDC51 LA-H181P

          I have two power rails shorted to ground, +1.0V_PRIM and +3.3V_ALW_PCH. I removed solder on PJP302, +1.05VALWP (pad1) not shorted but +1.0V_PRIM (pad2) shorted.

          I also cleaned PJP38, pad1 not shorted, pad2 (+3.3V_ALW_PCH) shorted to ground.

          I measure the resistance of all the coils on the motherboard and they all were not shorted to ground except coil PL301 before I removed the solder on PJP302.

          I injected +1.05V - 2A...

          Dell Optiplex 7490 AIO - red power led after flash
          by Mark01
          Hi guys,

          This is my first post! ๐Ÿš€
          I have no idea what Iโ€™m doing, but Iโ€™m learning by trial and error.

          Iโ€™m currently working on a Dell Optiplex AIO 7490โ€”one of a bunch of AIOs that mysteriously failed to POST just a few days after the warranty expired. The original issue was that the PC worked fine until it was rebooted, after which it got stuck on a black screen (no backlight), with fans spinning at normal speed and a solid white power LED. Forcing it off by holding the power button would just cause it to switch on automatically and get stuck again on...
