Dell E5530 completely dead and MOSFET getting HOT! Please help.

P-channel; SOT23 package; 30V and approx current similar to original although this requirement is not critical since there is no load if working properly on these mosfets.

Perhaps the heating is due to the other parts mating with this one so best to test again when each mosfet is removed from the logic board.

Current capability of replacement MOSFET must be equal or greater for reliable operation. Make sure Rdson is low as well (lower is better).

Both look too low in the readings.

Carefully remove each and measure them when they are out of the circuit to confirm the readings are consistent. They appear to be defective based on the thermal view and the low resistance readings.

Out of the circuit these are the readings im getting.

PQ1301
source & drain = 4.3 kilo ohms
source & gate = 0.231 kilo ohms
gate & drain = 4.24 Kilo ohms
PQ1302
source & drain = 0.205 Kilo ohms
source & gate = 0.203 Kilo ohms
gate & drain = 2.3 ohms

Im battling to read any of the markings on the jellyfish mosfets on the donor boards i have as i dont have a scope. Ive managed to make out i think "WT11" and a "BK3" "K72" "702W" "34nx5" would any of these work as a replacement for PQ1301 and PQ1302?

No. The donor parts are N-channel but we need P-channel mosfets.

Do you have access to Digikey / Mouser / Arrow electronics in your region? AliExpress is an option but will take time.

I have the following donor boards. surely they must have a p-channel i can use? ACLUA/ACLUB NM-A273, DAOLX6MB, dv15 brazos mb - 10302-1.

the above options you listed will take forever where i live unfortunately.

So I just wanted to ask a question. would it be a viable option to remove those mosfets and inject voltage bypassing those mosfets and see if something else gets hot to determine if it is indeed those mosfets that are the issue. if so, where would you recommend injecting voltage from?

If i inject voltage then PU11 "CD3301B"starts to heat up.

ok so using a scope i am able to read the Mosfets that are heating up. They have the following written TR2N, If i look up this Mosfet online it is saying that its an N-channel ? Is this correct? https://alltransistors.com/mosfet/tr...ansistor=37216
