Re: ASUS N56VM no power
I don't know as i can't find RT8206A on the boardview to test it, it doesn't seem to be listed which is where i got stuck.
The motherboard is an Asus N56VM Main board Rev 2.3, above that it says tmt YA-4A 1, E114139, 94V-0

Re: ASUS N56VM no power
I can't find 3v anywhere on the board - that's why i was trying to find RT8206A as that's what the repair guide says splits the voltage to the 3v/5v/12v rails.
I'm new at this sort of level of repair, so i may be making some sort of fundamental errors here but i have tried to read up as much as possible but it's a steep learning curve.
Oh, and i've already ordered the programmer kit. It may still come in useful and i've already read up on how to use it and it seems pretty straight forward (famous last words!).Leave a comment:

Re: ASUS N56VM no power
Thanks for that, i've ordered one and I'll post when i've dumped the bios.
While I'm here though, is it normal to have low voltage going to the bios chip? I've read 0.07v on pin 1, 0.04v on pins 2, 5 and 6 and 0v on the rest.Leave a comment:

Re: ASUS N56VM no power
No lights come on at all when plugged in.
I've never flashed a bios out of a system before, I'll look into it thanks.Leave a comment:

Re: ASUS N56VM no power
So far i've checked that the mosfets near the dc jack (PQ8801 and PQ8802) are switching ok, and that i can't detect any 5v or 3v anywhere on the board.
Looking at the repair guide i should be checking RT8206A, but i can't find it listed in the boardview on boardviewer and there isn't a search function. Can someone point me in the right direction please?Leave a comment:

Re: ASUS N56VM no power
I've checked the jack, there's voltage passing through it into the board ok and none of the pins have any movement in them.
Thanks for the suggestion!Leave a comment:

Re: ASUS N56VM no power
I can't find any mention of a fuse on the board - am i missing something?
Also, i've managed to roll my chair over the battery (crushing one side totally)- will the laptop still power on ok from the mains without it or should i just give up now and bin this?Leave a comment:

ASUS N56VM no power
Hi all,
I have an Asus N56 V8 with a N56VM Rev 2.3 motherboard that is not powering on.
There are no signs of life at all, no lights or fans spinning etc.
I have checked the board as best i can and can see no damage to any components, nor is there any signs of liquid damage.
The power supply has been tested and is providing the correct voltage, and so is the power jack and cable.
I've searched the forum and read through various posts and have the boardview and repair guide (although it only seems to be the first 5 pages?),... -
