Common Chip-Level Faults & Diagnostic Notes
- 19V DC-IN & Current Sense Resistor (PR301/VIN) Diagnosis: If the board is completely dead, start by measuring the voltage at the current sense resistor (PR301). If 19V is missing, inspect the entry MOSFETs (PQ302/PQ303) and the Charging IC (typically BQ series) for the ACDET and ACOK signals. A short to ground on the main VIN rail is a common cause for the adapter protection to kick in.
- 3.3V / 5V Standby Rail & PWM Buck Controller: The +3VALW and +5VALW rails are critical for the EC to initialize. Locate the PWM controller (e.g., TPS51225 or similar) and verify the LDO outputs (+3VLP and +5VLP). If the LDOs are present but the main standby rails are missing, check the Enable (EN) signals coming from the EC and inspect the filter capacitors for leakage.
- Power-On Sequence & BIOS/EC Firmware: If the laptop has standby power but fails to trigger, monitor the RSMRST# signal from the EC to the PCH. If the signal is low, the power-on sequence is halted. Additionally, BIOS/EC firmware corruption is frequent on this model; ensure you clear the ME Region when flashing a new BIOS to resolve slow boot or thermal shutdown issues.
