Laptop Troubleshooting Steps
• Do not insert/apply power to the system unless you are 100% sure that there is no short/leak in 19v rail
• Familiarize with the circuit you are trying to isolate
• Identify which are
• Input signals (S5_ON, SLP_S3#, RUNPWROK, etc.)
• Output signals (PGOOD, PG)
• Output voltages (REG5, REG3, LDO, +3V/5VPCU, +3V/5V_S5, etc.)
• Use schematic diagram if available
• Power sequence
• Timing Diagram
• Power Block Diagram
• Correlate voltage/resistance/frequency measurement via
• known/working board if available
• Computation (voltage divider)
• Datasheet
• Follow the power sequence, board should have the following signals:
• RSMRST# - sio
• PLTRST# - wifi slot pin 22/44/52
• CPURST# - H_RESET#
• DRAMRST# - pin 30 ram slot (type of ram, DDR2 – 1.8V, DDR3 – 1.5V, DDR3L - 1.35V, DDR4 – 1.2V)

Troubleshooting Guide
No Power Issue (1)
• Perform level 1 isolation
• Remove all components attached to the board (e.g., CMOS battery, LCD, Wifi card, HDD, etc.)
• Visual inspection using microscope
• Perform diode/resistance test on coils and capacitors, use nominal resistance/diode test
readings as a reference
• Check Charger Circuit
• DC Jack resistance to ground should not be shorted, diode test reading should be around
400-600 mV
• DCIN current-sense resistor should be 1MΩ or higher (depending on the circuit)
• If resistance is below 1MΩ , verify that the reading is normal for this board using Voltage Injection
• If current-sense resistance is (tested) to be normal, plug in the DC supply and verify if 19v is
present
• If 19v is present and stable, your 19v circuit is working properly, go ahead and move to main regulator
circuit
• If 19v is not present, troubleshoot the charging circuit section

• ICH/PCH uses a crystal circuit to generate a low voltage sine wave of 32.768
kHz at RTCX1 pin as input to the internal oscillator
• RTCX2 pin will have the same 32.768 kHz frequency with higher amplitude.
• Both pin must have 32.768 kHz to work correctly

Critical Signal Checkpoint

© 2019 LeakyMosfet All Rights Reserved https://www.leakymosfet.com


Voltage Injection
• Important
• Check if Sense Resistor has a stable megaohms resistance.
• Applicable to No Power, Leak and Blinking LED/Charger Issue
• Resistance reading (>MΩ)
• 19v rail has no leak/short, you can insert DC bench voltage to DC Jack with
100mA current or less
• Resistance reading is <MΩ or fluctuating
• 19v rail has a problem that you must investigate for possible leak/short
• Original charger is always safer to use because of its excellent
OCP/OVP circuit protection (for initial testing if 19v is present at sense
Resistor)
19v Rail = DCBATOUT, B+, AC_BAT_SYS, VIN, etc.
© 2019 LeakyMosfet All Rights Reserved https://www.leakymosfet.com
Voltage Injection
• 19v-Rail Voltage Injection
• Initially inject 1v with maximum current (5A)
• For full short (reading is Ω), remove all warming components until 19v rail has
MΩ resistance (charger ic, mainreg, charge/discharge ic, capacitor)
• If current consumption in DC Bench power supply is 0.00A then
• Increase the voltage by 1v until at least 0.01A is consumed
• Test large coils/capacitors for any voltages (0.01v or greater), if this voltage leak increases as
you increase injected voltage, remove the high side mosfet
• Continue to increase the voltage for up to 3-4 times until no more leak is found
• Check if sense resistor will have MΩ reading
• If so, congratulations, you have successfully isolated the leaky components.
• You must remove the main regulator (3v and 5v) if injected voltage is at 4.5v and current
does not increase beyond a registered value of 0.01A
• Repeat the process of increasing the injected voltage by 1v until you reached 19v

© 2019 LeakyMosfet All Rights Reserved https://www.leakymosfet.com


Voltage Injection
Other supply rails
• Objective
• The goal of voltage injection is to quickly identify faulty component(s)
• Guidelines
• Identify the maximum voltage you can possibly inject (e.g., 3.3v in +3VALW
voltage rail, 5v in VREG5). Verify this with the schematic diagram.
• Always start at 1v, gradually increasing up to max. voltage limit if no warming
of component is observed.

Current Jump Technique
• This technique is a method used to identify and diagnose “no display”
issues
• It provides an accurate assessment where the laptop power sequence
might have stopped
• A good/working laptop would roughly have current consumption
jumps approximately 4-6 times before initializing the OS
• The number of jumps depend on several factors:
• Type of CPU
• with or without GPU
