I wanted to give you all an update on the issue I've been dealing with. Sorry for the delay; I fell behind on a project because of this problem, and once I fixed it, I got caught up in work and forgot to reply.
First, I replaced the PCH, but it still didn't work. I thought I might have either broken it while trying to fix it or replaced the wrong part.
After watching a lot of videos, I figured out that the issue was actually the Super IO chip. I ordered a new one from China, which arrived about a week and a half later.
While waiting for the new chip, I desoldered...

Re: MSI GS76 STEALTH 11UG No Power (Please tell me I didn't kill my baby!)
Thank You for your reply. Im going to have to research the pch and figure out my next steps. At risk of sounding like a complete moron. The pch is the chip to the right of the bios chip correct? Is it just a single chip? And how big of a deal would that be?
Wanted to include a big thanks for your help I know everyone is busy with their own stuff and I really appreciate you taking the time to looking at my issue...Last edited by Digighost; 09-09-2023, 09:47 PM.Leave a comment:

Thank You for the reply the #8 pin on BIOS chip is reading 78 Ohms to ground....Leave a comment:

Re: MSI GS76 STEALTH 11UG No Power (Please tell me I didn't kill my baby!)
UPDATE: So i just tried to plug the battery in while paired to my power supply and it seems to be charging the battery. Im getting charging light and its drawing @ 1Amp
So at this point, I have a couple of questions i hope some of you can answer.
1. If the Super IO chip was bad would my laptop be able to charge the battery?
2. What is the best method I should use to find out why Im getting 0v readings in my upper inductors?
Thanks in advance.Leave a comment:

Here are my inductor voltages to the ground.

Re: MSI GS76 STEALTH 11UG No Power (Please tell me I didn't kill my baby!)
thank you for the reply ill do that and yes it does seem to pair with my supply just fine.
Once the Power Supply is connected it goes to 20.2v 118 mA
After pushing what i believe is the power button it drops to 20.2v 25 mA for 0.5 secs then back to 118 mA...Leave a comment:

Re: MSI GS76 STEALTH 11UG No Power (Please tell me I didn't kill my baby!)
At this point if I use a power supply to try and turn it on I'm getting some readings that my instinct says could be a shorted SIO chip. I hope that is not the case because the fastest I can find shipping for one of those is up to six weeks and I can't afford to be that long without my computer so I might end up having to buy a new motherboard which honestly sucks.

Thanks for the reply, I agree with everything you said, and have gotten a donor board and have been practicing. Impatience was my enemy there. I figure I will have to repair the pads if I want the USB to work in the future but as of now, that is secondary.
What do you think about the capacitor having the 8.6v on what to me looks like the negative side does this indicate a short? I will post the number of the USB load switch in a few minutes....Leave a comment:

MSI GS76 STEALTH 11UG No Power (Please tell me I didn't kill my baby!)
Hello Everyone Please bear with me as I'm not very experienced in electronics and board repair but I think with a little help from you experienced guys I can get this done. I do have a tech background and I believe I have all the needed equipment to complete the task at hand.
A week ago my MSI GS76 STEALTH 11UG (board MS-17M11) No easy way to say this I think I may have killed my baby. What had happened was My ALFA External Wifi was not being recognized because it needed more power than my machine could output. After researching the issue I found out that using a powered USB hub... -
