    Acer Aspire 5551 no power

    As this is my first Thread I would like to welcome everyone and apologize for my English.
    I have my testing laptop Acer Aspire 5551 with motherboard NEW55 LA-5912P Rev: 1.0.
    Short story of this laptop. Laptop worked fine till I wanted add some ram and did not want to power up. After diagnosing I reprogrammed bios and found out that PQ31 had strange measurement outcome so I replaced and luckily laptop came back to life. There were still defects like there was no battery charging, U70 got very hot and laptop turned off after a while.
    To make things worse, by mistake I made short in the charger PU5. Now laptop does not give any sign of life.
    I made measurements on the B+ rail.
    Given voltage from power supply: VIN 19V
    Current uptake in ST-BY: 0V
    No volt. on main coils 3V\5V PL3 \ PL4.
    Resistance to ground: PL4( 50 i 30 KΩ i PL3 (1.6Ω)
    PL1- 19V
    PU1 (LM393):
    leg.1 – (PACIN) 1OUT, 3.13V
    leg.2—RTCVREF, IN-, 3.28V
    leg.3—VIN, IN+, 3.60V
    leg.4 - gnd
    leg.8- VS vcc, 18.30V

    PD1 Zener diode: K 3.13v, A 0V
    PD2: K 18.35V A 18.98V
    PQ1 : (TP0610K): D 18.32 V, S 17.80V, G 17.63V
    PU2: (GT920 T24):
    Vin 17.80V
    Vout 3.28V
    PU3:
    Vcc 0V , rez 53KΩ
    PQ3: Dren Line B+ 0V ,PR34 0V
    I will be very grateful for any suggestions on where to make measurement and what value I should expect to locate the culprit.

        - You have a little short at +3valwp
        - Try remove U70 first, then measure again PL3
        - Or you can isolate low resistance on PL3 by removing PJ1

          Much appreciate your help! As soon I do as you suggested I come back with the outcome.

            Not good news

            Removed PJ1 and did short-test , KBC got hot in 2.2V. Also, by supplying vin 19V PQ31 got hot so I removed from the circuit.

            I have a feeling that it will be a big challenge to make this board working but at least I can learn a lot.

              I found short on PL26 and PQ3 \ PQ17. After exchanging short gone in this branch.
              Current values with supply 19v on PL26:
              Current intake: 0v
              PQ5 : 19V on Drain 1.10v
              PU4 l.8 VIN 0v
              PQ55 – shorts G to S.
              PL1 19V PL2 0V 1.6 M Ω
              Pd17 C 18.33v A 14.85v
              PD13 A19V C19V
              PD3 C17.82V A 0V
              PD1 C3.18V A0V
              PD2 C18.38V A19V
              PJ23 19V
              PL15 19V
              PQ31 – replaced.
              Values on +3VALW:
              Short on PJ1 in direction to EC ENE U26 (getting hot).
              Values on U26:
              VCC leg.9,22,33,96,111,126 -- 02.1 Ω
              AVCC leg.67 02.3 Ω
              ACIN leg,127 –55.2 Ω
              SPICS leg.128-- 08 Ω
              Coil L84 02.3 Ω

              Could anyone advice if U26 is definitely for exchange or it can be something on the way?

              Could anyone advice how to remove smd coils not damaging them as I did.

                PQ14 (4407A) is your problem... Change it and it will power up just fine
