Dell inspiron 3521 la-9104p dead

[mcplslg123]

Model-Dell Inspiron 3521
M/B-La-9104p rev 1.0(A00)
Problem-Dead

The ene kbc was shorted, so i replaced it with a new one and programmed it as well with Rt809F. unit still has no 3.3v

I have tried the following:

01. Replaced another new kbc and programmed-still same
02. Replaced Pu200 with TPS 51125-still same
03.Replaced Pu100(ISL88731)-still same.
04. There is no short on 3v and 5v coils(PL200 & PL201)
05.Tried flashing both Eprom's-still same.

I have noticed one thing which has left me puzzled--If i connect pin16 of Kbd Connector(which is connected to pin 42 of KBC) to Ground-all voltaged appears on the board-3.3v at battery terminals and power switch. Mb wont turn on simply coz connecting pin 42 of kbc to Gnd means KBC is in programming mode.

So whats wrong???
Please advise friends as i have run out of ideas.

I remember a similar issue on a thinkpad solved with a pch reflow but in this case you should , In this case you should try to separate 3.3V 5V block from its loads

Check at PL600 & PL601 for short circuit. And also PU600.

Check at PL600 & PL601 for short circuit. And also PU600.

Both the coils are not shorted to Gnd. Checked with a working board. Pu600 is fine

i had the same issue on a motherboard. but i don't remember which resistor is damaged. so check resistors around pu200.

Re: Dell inspiron 3521 la-9104p dead

Can u run the laptop only on charged battery?? Check for shorted caps on battery output lines. What about PS_ID??

This sort of "hit and trial" approach makes things worse and sometimes render the mb unrepairable. Identify the fault first, understand the circuit or seek help in the forum instead of killing mb's.
