    MacBook Pro A2338 [820-02773] No Audio (Speakers and Microphone)
    by classicandy
    Hi Everyone,

    Please, I have a MacBook Pro A2338 M2, board number : 820-02773. The speakers and the microphone of the Mac are not working and I need assistance in fixing.

    UR730 got damaged and short-circuited the motherboard. After removing the shortened IC; before and after putting the new one I ordered, the speakers [specifically the other one not affected by this IC] and the microphone are still not working. I do have sound through a Bluetooth speaker device or when I connect a headphone with microphone to the jack 3.5mm input. Also, media files do not play unless ​a...

    Bricked MSI Z370 Krait Gaming BIOS
    by lorislentino
    Hello,

    I own an MSI Z370 Krait Gaming mobo but with the last bios update I unfortunately bricked it, so I'm searching the BIOS .bin dump file for reflash the eeprom (I already have a C431A Programmer).

    I've just subscribed in this forum and I hope someone can help me to get out of this situation, it's really frustrating because I can't find anywhere this bios.
    Thanks!​

    lenovo ideapad NM-D031 3VALW issue
    by reassor
    Hi.
    I got dead one.
    3VALW is just pulsing then goes down. i removed the jumper PJ402 and it suddenly stays up but PG pin on that IC is around 0.5v and droping.
    There is no obvious shorts. Wierd thing is that on the other side of the PJ402 i have 1.4V from somwhere ...

    Injecting 3.3v there draws 300mA and nothing is heating up.

    the ic is SY8386BRHC_QFN16 (kinda uncommon here - so i do not have a spare to test it)

    any ideas to check before i order a few of these?

    Hello everyone, I come here in search of wisdom and hope.

    I got this laptop with charging problems, apparently it charged ok while turned off but it would not charge while powered on, anyways I was doing initial measurements looking at the voltaje on the ID Pin, it is a 135W DC Adapter and the pin actually measured 1.9V that looks ok, anyways, while doing that, I accidentally shorted the ID pin DETECT(ID) with one of the 20V pins, sparkles and it automatically killed the TVS Diode PD102, and also made a cute burning hole on the middle of the KBC or EC chip UE1, it is a IT8227E-128,...

    [INDENT]Hey everybody, got that specific notebook, bought it second hand. There was no ssd inside I placed the new ssd and tried to start the laptop but the only thing I get when I start up is a black screen and the keyboard is lighted up and changes the colors. No fan spinning ( but the downside is getting warm so the cpu is working I guess) and the led for charging the battery is on. Can't boot into the bios via f2. It's now looking like I bought a brick and got scammed.. can anybody help me out with this problem please?[/INDENT]

    Dell Inspiron 14-5448 - fan turns off and mobo keeps running
    by Felipe_Serra_83
    Hi, everyone. First post of an actual repair. I'm a technician but a complete newbie with laptops.

    So I got this Dell Inspiron to play with.

    No charger, so I connected to my bench PSU.

    The laptop also didn't include: hard disk (I added one of my own for testing, see below) and wireless PCB (but I doubt this could have anything to do with this particular failure).


    ------What it did (and didn't do)------

    1) I turned it on and it powered on. Powered down in 2 seconds by itself.

    2) Removed RAM, changed slot. Same...

    Hi All,
    Laptop: ASUS F15 TUF Dash FX517ZC-HN114W

    Context: When I was out the house my partner hard shutdown laptop while BIOS was updating, so my son has no working laptop now. Also as a result I know the BIOS on the chip is messed up so I can’t extract it using the ch341a and use it to perform the method explained on site to modify an update downloaded from the ASUS website to get the BIN to flash.

    If anyone can help with a BIOS BIN/ROM file for this laptop, I would be forever in your debt! Thanks if you can help!

    Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
    by aaronkatrini
    Hi all,

    Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

    Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

    LG 43LH510V Backlight problem
    by unimatrix93
    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to fix a small LG TV with wierd issue.

    So I check that the display is OK by fashing a lamp at the screen. LCD is okay OSD is showing up.
    Now since the BL is dark, I disconneted the BL from the mainboard and I injected voltage to it with my blacklight tester.
    The BL turns on, the tester shows around 80V. So the led strips are okay it seems.

    Now I started to suspect the BL driver IC which is a MP3378.
    I have a donor board (dead cpu) with the same IC, so I swapped the driver IC but it did not solve the issue.
