Hi, I am working on an ASUS ChromeBook C434T, not powering on at all. The motherboard in it is C434TA_MB REV:2. Does anyone have the Schematics or Boardview for this model. The amp meter is stuck on 5v & does not turn on, no liquid spill., & it look clean, this model is with the USB-C charge ports. Any help will be great appreciate. Thanks

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
@LarrySabo - start a fresh thread in the laptop forum. This is an Asus so schematics are in the witness protection program.
However, perhaps you can locate the DCin connector -> post pics of the mosfets that follow and the charger IC onboard. Often, the fault is with the DCin mosfets unless there was some liquid or other damage to the unit.

I had the same fault. I was able to fix it. The 3.3V converter and the usb control system were damaged. Everything works except the sound on the speakers (there is on the headphones). I am looking for a schematic or application for the max98927 chip.

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
The laptop came to me dead - 5V on the power supply and nothing else. The LED does not light up, does not start, does not charge the battery.
A short circuit in the 3.3V line was caused by ANX7447 (3ohm relative to ground). After replacement, no short circuit but the chromebook still did not start. Replacing the TPS62125 converter restored proper operation. The PA (audio amplifier) is still damaged, after replacing +98927 the speakers still do not work. There is a burnt path from the chip that I can't locate - I need a layout app or a schematic for Chromebook Asus C434TLast edited by gobo; 11-12-2022, 05:07 AM.

That burnt trace leads to the bottom of the left resistor in the area you circled.
If the system is still in your shop, hopefully this gives you audio back again.

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
Thanks for the info, even though it's out of date. The identical PA works in some Xiaomi phones, I found a Redmi 6Pro diagram. In fact, this broken path connects one of the IC pins to ground through a 0 ohm resistor. Unfortunately, after repairing the connection and replacing the IC, the speakers still do not work. Headphones work.

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
Hi guys, i have also this laptop for a repair... it's charging only at 5V 170ma, looking atthe board there is a broken component near the type-c connector
there is also another type-c at the other side of the laptop but i think it's not a charging port (or is it?) because it s not taking any milliamps
... one of the sides of the component is connected to ground , and the residual parts are black (resistor? diode?)
if someone can measure o identify if is a diode7resistor thank you!

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
For the record, the Chromebook I was trying to repair "magically" started to work again when I was trying to find which circuit was responsible for the almost short that I measured on the 3.3 V near ANX7447. I started by injecting 1 V/1 A from an external power supply, and the current consumption was very low, i.e. didn't seem like a short. When I upped it to 2 V/1 A from the external supply it suddenly jumped to 3.3 V, which I guess must've been coming from the battery, even though I suspect state of charge was low since it had been "dead" for several months. Anyway it went from being dead (no charge LED, only consuming 5 V/0.12 A from the USB) to booting. When booting I had a screen saying the OS was corrupted and needed to be restored, and when I pressed Tab I could see that it was caused by a TPM error. Performing a battery reset cleared that error and the laptop now seems to work normally. Very odd, I have no clue why injecting the external voltage made it come back to life. Anyway good thing that ANX7447 wasn't broken.

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
Hi All
New member here with a friend's C434T not powering on or charging. I suspect the battery is too flat for the charging circuitry to work and for some reason (probably safety, given what these batteries can do...) that prevents charging.
@y00kileet - please can you be more specific about where you injected the current?
I did wonder if it would be better to remove the battery for charging, when I did so I measure < 1V between red and black leads. I assume these are + and - battery connections - but I'd love to know if this is an appropriate place to start injecting charging current before trying it!
Thanks
Richard

Re: ASUS ChromeBook C434T not powering on
Hi guys. Help! I have two of these C433T dead. Only pulling 5V and 0.5A and other one is 0.1A I have thermal camera but can't see anything get hot. One I am finding caps shorted around this IC. I'm trying to learn laptop board repairs, would appreciate any help.Last edited by Andyd1970; 10-30-2023, 04:58 AM.
