Hi,
I received Samsung NP680Z5E laptop for repair. It is charging the battery (charging light on, the voltage on the battery confirms the charging process), but the laptop won't switch on. 3.3V present on the BIOS chip. Power switch checked (however the voltage on the switch is just below 1V - I have no clue if this is the right voltage). Cable connection between the power switch/USB logic board and the main motherboard was checked and is OK. I have no schematic or boardview and I'm also not the greatest specialist in motherboard repair.
I'm thinking that the NO POWER problem might be related to the BIOS problem, so before going further with diagnostics I would like to reprogram the BIOS chip and check if it's going to solve the problem.
Does anyone have a BIOS dump for Samsung NP680Z5E?
Laptop model: NP680Z5E-X01UK
Motherboard: NIKE2-15-DC
BIOS: 64Mb (8MB)
