    Ok, Thank you! In this case it did. I hope the same trick works again. I found a caps kit on Amazon for that board, hopefully it is low ESR as it didn't specify...I do know they are heat rated.

      My neighbor was throwing one of these out and I grabbed it after seeing this post. Upon speaking to him about it, it has this same issue currently and he stated that he had already sent it in once.
      After opening it up, I saw that the 2 suspect caps were replaced with Sanyo 1000uf/35v ones. They didn't even bother cleaning off the flux they used for the repair. I reflowed the two caps and cleaned them up really well to see if there would be a difference and unfortunately, no change.
      I am not getting any lights or any response from the unit, I am going to try to replace those two caps and see if that helps anything.
      It's nice to see that I am not the only one who really likes tinkering.

            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...

            Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 Power-On Issue (Troubleshooting Assistance)
            by justice171
            I am seeking guidance on an Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 that does not turn on when pressing the power button.

            Below are the observations and troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: Observations and Tests:
            1. Verified that all critical voltages are present:
              • 3.3V and 5V are always present if DC is plugged.
              • 1.8V on the BIOS chip is present.
            2. Checked the power button functionality:
              • When pressed, the voltage drops to 0V, indicating the button is functional.
            3. Inspected the flex cable connecting the USB, audio, and power button to JUB1:
              • Confirmed connectivity is intact, ruling out issues

            lenovo flex 5 14itl05 power sequence issue
            by claws77
            hi guys, my motherboard will not start no matter what
            when connected to ac power, the battery does get charge, led indicator glows red when discharged and turns white as it is fully charged.
            but rest nothing happens no sign of life.

            this laptop has one preexisting usbc power issue - so i use DCIN jack for charging my laptop.
            with this issue my laptop was unable to power ON only sometimes i just had to wait some time.
            but now nothing happens no matter how much i wait/ charge/ press and hold power button.

            i have no knowledge of motherboards ....

            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...

            Dell G3 17 3779 Weird power cycling and shutdown/restart issue
            by SuperJames
            This one's a weird one, and still unsolved despite it having gone back to Dell once.

            Specs

            i7-8750H, GTX 1060 Max Q, 500GB SSD & Seagate 7mm 1TB HDD. 17.3 IPS screen. This has the fingerprint reader in the power button.

            Backstory

            I bought this from eBay, from a wallpapering shop. £650 in 2020 which was a good price considering it's a gaming laptop. Physically it's in perfect shape, apart from the hinge mounts on the palmrest failing in the time I've had it (I have a new palmrest for it). The usual thin plastic crap modern build quality!...
