Thanks man. I repaired dell inspiron 11 series 3000 using your methode with IPA. I spilled liquid on the motherboard. Rapid evaporation of the fluid was observed.

explained well

Hi thanks for this video. I have the same laptop from a client and the problem is it's turning off by itself. Your video helped me test for shorts, test the 19v, 3.3v and 5v which are present. Now I can come to the conclusion that the fault can be with the pch because this one gets hot when I touch it, or the fault can be with the cpu but I don't have a spare to test it. If it is a faulty pch can the laptop still be repaired? Thank you! :)

[@LaptopDisassembly]

The PCH can be replaced but will cost the same like the price of that laptop. How long the laptop work before power off.

[@user-rn3eb2jn5t]

@@LaptopDisassembly it goes off after a few minutes

[@LaptopDisassembly]

I doubt you have a voltage issue. Check the cooler is it heating evenly. Also did you replace CPU

[@user-rn3eb2jn5t]

@@LaptopDisassembly yes cooler is working evenly. It's the original CPU but trying to get a spare one to test

nice and thanks

I have the same laptop. When I try charging when the laptop is off it lights charging then after a while it's off. I have failed to charge it when it's on. It can't even power when I've plugged in without battery. Any help?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Probably the middle pin of the adapter is bad. Check do you have any voltage on it and try good known adapater.

[@shawnd567]

I have the n5010 and it says it's charging but doesn't send any charge to the battery. Everything shows as if it's working but it doesn't charge the battery. Any ideas?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

First try with good known character. The one you are using can have a faulty id pin and may not work properly. Also can be a faulty battery. Try to charge the battery with the laptop turned off.

[@shawnd567]

@@LaptopDisassembly Tried 2 different chargers. Both work fine on other laptops. Battery is brand new. Was doing this with the old battery too. It detects the battery is there and says it's charging but doesn't send any current to it

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Can be a charging ic problem.

[@jessiedimaiwat3172]

Hello i made the same procedure on my n5010 inspiron i remove the capacitor then try to switch but its nothing. Not working as is same problem no indicator lights no lights at all.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Well it may be a different capacitor that went faulty. Just measure for a short.

[@jessiedimaiwat3172]

If the problem is about power i must be focus in this part? Or i need to look at the mother board? My laptop is completely dead no lights and sounds.

[@jessiedimaiwat3172]

I'm planing to buy new io board. But i do not sure if this is the right place with faulty circuit..

[@LaptopDisassembly]

The short can be on the main bord, not the power bord. Separate the two boards and plug the power adapter. If the light of the adapter go off the problem is the power bord, otherwise the short is on the main board.

[@jessiedimaiwat3172]

I bought a new io board but no luck it doesn't power on no lights.. I think the problem is on the mother board. Surely

[@rupeshdeokar7353]

Same lapatop 3.3 v ground in mother board . When Power adapter connect light gose off please suggest me . Problem is in mother board how to trace it .

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Any visible damage on the board.. Look carefully. Also measure the resistance to ground after the second mosfet. do you have a lab power supply ...

[@shirishpatel6943]

I also have a problem. What is the specification of this capacitor and where to buy it?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Any ceramic cap at 25v should do the work. It has to be the same size. You can go without it, is just a filter cap.

[@shirishpatel6943]

Thank you so much..

[@shirishpatel6943]

what is the value of this capacitor ? please suggest me alternate remedy.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Did you try to power on without it... About the value.. Try 22uf at 25v

[@shirishpatel6943]

Thank you very much again. Yes I turned on the power but I was afraid there would be another problem. But don't be afraid of your Suggestion anymore.

[@Ubdrone]

Can u help me fix Dell 7567 which is not charging battery? I need your help on fixing this motherboard

[@LaptopDisassembly]

First try to power on the laptop only with charger and with the battery disconnected. Most of the times is broken middle pin on the charger. Test with different charger.

[@totototototo6430]

Hi I would like to know what is the capacitor number that you changed

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Any smd cap that is 25v and the same size will do. It is just a filter cap. You can go without it also.

[@totototototo6430]

@@LaptopDisassembly Thank you, my friend, I have removed the capacitor and the device is now working. Does a problem occur later because of removing this capacitor?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

No dont worry... If you like to replace it, just tell me the number on the board and i will check tommorow when im in the office.

[@totototototo6430]

@@LaptopDisassembly You are really a wonderful person, thank you PC306

[@LaptopDisassembly]

I don see pc306 in the schematic... Can you send me a photo of the place were you remove it. The email in in the info page.

[@jhonnyneedcash2245]

What is that part that is burnt out

[@LaptopDisassembly]

It is a shorted capacitor.

[@jhonnyneedcash2245]

I have the same problem mine is burnt out

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Just replace it or remove it and test without it.

[@em0_tion]

Екстра. 👌🙂

[@drewwesley9506]

I attempted a remote bios update from A08 to A15, and user shut it off after screen went black for 5min after reboot. Now the board seems dead. No LEDs. No response. Nothing. Can a failed bios update do this?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Did you update from Windows. Also try reseting the bios

[@drewwesley9506]

Thanks for replying. Yes, I updated from Windows. I tried resetting the bios by removing the cmos cr2032 battery. I also tried the flash drive FAT (16) hdr/rom bios recovery using End key. It seems completely dead, but power adapter tests well with the multi-meter.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Well you can flash it with programmer but you have to take offthe chip.

[@alegzanderxxx]

Hy there.i have a question regarding to this.My laptop stopped working..i had DC Jack problems...i ordered a new one..changed it.and still no life in the laptop.what do you recommended?! Thank you

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Few questions 1. How did you determine that the dc jack is the problem 2. Did you replace with the same one 3. Do the laptop work on battery or not 4. Did you test with good known working adapter ( dell one, not HP one) 5. Did you messure some voltages on the board, do you have 5v, 3v etc...

[@alegzanderxxx]

Thank you for replying..the Jack on the power board was messed up already before but the laptop was working fine.I used my Laptop ( without the baterry because it doesn't hold the power anymore.about 2 week ago i connected a camera via USB (the one that's on the dc board and i think it made a short circuit because it just stopped suddenly.after a week i ordered a new DC power board but still nothing.No i didn't check any voltages because i'm not specialist in that.however i do have little bit of knowledge about "fixing Tower PC's.This was first time to disassembe a laptop.any advice or anything i could try without to much complications?!

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Check abound that usb. For physical damage. You probably have damage on the 5v power rail. If you have multimeter try messing on the big coils. Plug the adapter and messure. On some of them you should have 3.3v, 5v. If they are available than the jack is fine. Look the board for damage from that usb.

[@alegzanderxxx]

@@LaptopDisassembly I have taken out the old Power board..yes there is a little bit of physical damade,very small blackness arround the PR306 diode..but what i don't get is why is it not working with the new one i ordered?that one hasn't got any physical damage and it's exactly same model DG15 IO 09697-1 like the old one.i vould show you a picture if i could.well,i guess it goes to the graveyard and i have to buy a new laptop.i was just trying to fix it as cheap as possible but no success unfortunately.and i am sure it doesn't have a big issue.It's quite an old laptop.or maybe service might help.Thank you anyways.Good job with the tutorials

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Usually the diodes are for protection. Having a darkness around the old one, means that there may be a problems after it. If you like you can send me a photos of the board ( both sides and on focus pleace ) the email is on the contact section

[@alegzanderxxx]

@@LaptopDisassembly sorry i couldn't find any email adress in the contact section.I'm afraid that the motherboard has sufferd some short as well not just the power board.i also tried holding the power button for about 1 min.without the baterry or power cable inside the laptop and tried to turn it on but still nothing.if you could send me an email adress where to attach the photos i would be grateful.thank you again!
