    asus x550l wont react to power button

    It has 5V, 3.3V. No shorts on coils. Power button works correctly, when pressed voltage drops.
    One time turned on. Not sure how.

      When requesting help, please attach a picture of the board with voltage and resistance to ground measurements on all the large inductors after triggering power button.

        ..but resistance checks are to be performed always with the power OFF and with NO battery.

          fixed by removing cmos battery and waited for some time, after few tries it worked. BIOS went mad i guess.

          Other problem. trackpad doesnt work. I have second trackpad, and it doesn't work too.
          Under windows 10, device manager is not detecting any trackpad. Doesnt work on latest ubuntu and windows 7 install setup.
          Asus smart gesture driver is installed (W10).

            Review the voltages on the J3102 connector.

            Most interested in the voltage readings of pins 3 & 4 which are the TP I2C interface pins (SDA & SCL).

            Meter in DC volts scale (5 volts or higher is ok).

            Red meter probe on pin # 3 of the connector; Black meter probe to ground.

                Pin 3 : OK
                Pin 4 : something is wrong here. This should also be ~3v3.

                Remove all power -> check your cabling. Remove the cable for now.

                Power up and check the voltage on pin # 4 again. Still 0v ?

                If yes, power down again -> meter in resistance mode (lowest scale is ok).

                Check the resistance to ground of pin # 4 of this TP connector J3102.

                Post the measurements.

                  i measured connector only, without trackpad attached.

                  Resistance of pin 4. is 0.1ohm - shorted.

                    Resistance of pin # 4 = ~0 ohms to GROUND ?? (no power when testing resistance)

                        Ouch! Review if you have a visible short on this line. According to the boardview diagram, this is a signal line and should be ~3v3 with no activity. This is common to I2C bus interfaces - the local pull-up performs this task.

                        The resistance is very low so suspecting that there is a solder short or a bad cap. Hunt the area for clues.

                        Possible short could be to pin # 5 = GROUND on the same connector.

                          your boardview file is wrong.

                          pin 4 is ground. Which is correct. No problem with pin 4.

                          pin 5 is TP_DAT
                          pin 6 is TP_CLK

                            Ok. So the TP connector = J3101.

                            What are the resistance readings for pin # 5 and # 6 to ground ?

                            Also measure the voltage on each pin.

                              pin 5 and pin 6 is 11kOhm
                              pin 5 is always 3.34V
                              pin 6 is 0V when bios, windows 7 setup. And 2.8V when in linux.

                              C3004 is OK
                              RN3034 is OK

                              only suspect is U3001

                                Was bad trackpad + bad cable.

                                Working trackpad had broken cable [From the laptop with BIOS problems].
                                Not working trackpad had good cable [From the laptop with trackpad "problem"].

                                  Hi all!

                                  I've got an Asus FX517ZC on the bench at the moment and I just can't figure out what's going on with it.


                                  Here are its various numbers and identifiers:

                                  The laptop's charge light comes on, but when the power on button is pressed nothing happens. No fan spin, no caps lock, no screen or keyboard backlight, nothing.

                                  Hope someone can give me some suggestions on this because i'm at my wits end with it...

                                  I have an Envy 13-BA1565na here with an Intel Core i7 i7-1165G7 CPU (board is a LA-J475P Rev 1.0) which has an intermittent power button issue. The power button is integrated into the keyboard, and I have ruled out the keyboard, BIOS and battery as being the issue.

                                  Basically, on mains power, the power button works fairly well. The first time you come to it after leving it sitting (either on charge or not on charge), it might take 2 or 3 presses of the button, but then the laptop boots...

                                  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.

                                  ASUS TUF X570-PLUS doesn't power on: no VRM_EN signal.
                                  by ShadowAi
                                  Hello, I have an issue with the motherboard. Specifically, it doesn't power on, more precisely, the POST initialization doesn't occur.

                                  Let me start from the beginning, the motherboard suddenly stopped working one day. There are no beep signals from the speaker, and the debug LEDs are not lighting up. After inspecting it under a microscope and using thermal imaging, I didn't find anything that could be damaged.

                                  After that, I began voltage measurements, in which I noticed the absence of VDDQ, VDDP, VTT, and VPP lines. Later, I checked if there is an EN state on these lines,...

All other keys are working...but when you press power button it doesnt short 3.3v to gnd...so you can only do it manually on the keyboard conector with tweezers or similar.

                                  Has anyone with more expirience figured where is that power button line getting broken? because...
