    How to read and understand schematic diagram.

    Good morning engineers, I'm new to laptop motherboard repairs, I want to be good at what I do and will like to learn how to read and understand laptop schematic diagram.

    Any link to videos, books or direct teaching will be appreciated. Thanks

      It is not really possible to directly learn to read electronic schematics. It is necessary to first understand basic electronics, then progressing to understanding how various electronics components function and interact.
      And also to understand how logic functions are electronically represented. Maybe you do already?

        I have done that, I have some videos but most of them are demos.

          I know the basic electronics and their functions like diode, lead, capacitor, coil, mosfet etc.

          Concerning how they interact and how they are electronically represented is what i don't understand too, I don't know if I can learn that together with reading schematic.

            Schematic is actually only graphic representation of component interconnection,you must really know how it works first...in schematic you only see how are this components together connected,nothing more..

              Thanks for your contribution, I know the basic components and their functions, the interconnection or how they interact is what I don't get, pls can you explain better?

                i found this . http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/ i looks like good point to start with electronic and schematics..

                  Try understand the power in/charger circuit first! Search for the datasheet of the charger ic type! Read the datasheet, and understand how the sample circuit works. Search for how switching power supply works! That would be great basic knowledge for reapir.

                    In my experience about understanding a laptop schematic the core that you need to understand is the electronic array of components, like voltage divider with resistors and what funtion do in a motherboard. step down converters with a PWM and power mosfets in synchronous configuration. Understand that an IC is like other PC inside the motherboard that made an specific funtion and learn how to test it. Understand that some IC power up with an enable signal and learn to trace it back generally to the EC KBC and so on.

                          Great, I'll read about the voltage divider and also understand component codes and abbreviations.

                          Thanks.

                              mine has an ic above sata has removed and i can't guess the number or if it was a regulator
                              please if you know let me know the type of this chip
                              computer work except to recognize hdd or ssd disk ,normally i can't install windows even if disk shows up or run windows

                              by Kirve
                              "Hello friends. My Asus X556U laptop is not charging, not turning on, etc. I wanted to repair the motherboard, partly for learning purposes. One of the capacitors is giving a 24V output, and one of the MOSFET pins is also giving a 24V output, and honestly, this surprises me. I think I need to replace the capacitor, but I don’t know the capacitance value. I tried searching for a motherboard schematic but couldn’t find anything. Can you help me find the schematic or diagram?"

                              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
                              by Bowline
                              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

                              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

                              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
                              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
                              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...
