Re: Asus K53E wont boot up

I got same problem here.. Asus K53e.. at first it was orange light blinking.. try to charge bat, no joy! disassembled, checked all voltages (not turned on but adapter plugged in) from input checked 19v was present then checked for standby power 3.3v, checked for 5v and 1.9.. all is there... checked all component for abnormal heat (while turned off but adapter plugged in) none was found (good sign). turned it on, noticed that the supply-in dropped from 19v to 16v... unplugged it, checked whole board for shorted caps or resistors, found 6 caps near chipset...
