Hi!
This is a funny one!
Board is dead no sign of life, no liquid damage.
19V are present, and I noticed a buzzing sound.
Tracked it down to the IC PU8102 PWM CONTROLLER SN51285ARUKR
TI QFN-20 , and he was also getting hot.
I also noticed I had +3VAO but not +5VAO (no short though).
Both enables to this chip are also low (0.06V something around that, also no short)
As I had this chip, I replaced it with a new one, but still the same.
Some more inspection and I found out the +3VA_EC line shorted. Injected some current and EC was getting hot. Ordered it and replaced it just a few minutes ago. short gone in +3VA_EC
Plugged the charger. same buzzing sound from PU8102...and getting hot still. Disconnected charger, measured +3VA_EC shorted again...lifted EC, short gone... had another IT8585VG chip, replaced again. No short, doublechecked.
Plugged, the charger, same thing, and +3VA_EC became shorted once again.
What could be the reason to get the EC shorted each time I plug the charger?
PU8102 is also a new chip, so kinda lost here...
Anyone could share some ideas about this?
Thanks!
