    Asus X550LB power on then off fixed.Working dump

    Had this laptop, X550LB, Core i7, nVidia GT740m. It powered on then back off. No short. Remove CMOS battery and it stayed on, but with no display and WLAN led blinking.

    Cause: Corrupted BIOS.
    Attached working dump.

      Thank you very much! It's just what I was looking for.
      Notebook was turning on auto-powered and didn't initialize, consuming current about 0,5A statically.
      Power, CapsLock and NumLock LEDs were on.
      With this dump it became alive again!

        Too little, too late, but don't know, don't care.

        You are experienced enough that you know than when a no power or no picture rolls into the shop fresh with no obvious physical damage, battery missing or good condition and no burns, no smoke, no skid marks, no major electrical shorts, a fresh BIOS flash is the first thing you do.

          Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
          by GLISIT
          Hi all,

          TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


          I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

          A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

          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...

          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. 😅

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

          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,...

          Power supply Manson NTP-5561 (5661) LCD controller dead - PIC18F87K90 HEX dump required
          by Andreas_de
          Hello!

          i got a damaged Manson NTP-5561 (60V, 1,6A DC output) and and the main issue is that the controler IC for the LCD display has a short. The controler IC PIC18F87K90 is mounted on the back of the back of the LCD. Vss-Vdd = 3 Ohm. The 5V and 3,3V power line was killed as well, but that is not a problem. A new LDO 3,3V and 5V 7805 is already ordered.
          Replacing the PIC18F87K90 is necessary but that makes no sense without having the HEX dump of the new controler.

          Does anybody have such a power supply and could do a HEX dump of the Flash and EEPROM memory?
