Laptop is totally dead, no charging light. I do get 20V on charging port. I am not detecting any shorts but PU601 is extremely hot to the touch. Nothing else is hot around it. Every pin is showing 0V except pin 5 is showing 1.4V. In diode mode I probed all pins on the chip and they are showing 0.4V drop which is good. So, I am a little confused since I do not have much experience.
Is it safe to say the chip is toast and it's the culprit? I am a newbie when it comes to working with motherboards at this level. Is it possible that another component causing the chip to overheat?
Your help would be appreciated.
