    Lenovo Yoga 3 14 (NM-A381) not powering on

    Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 3 14 (80JH)
    Logic Board: BTUU1 NM-A381 REV:1.0 2014-11-17
    Issues:
    • not powering on
    • bottom of the laptop getting hot


    Background:
    Laptop not turning on. On-board voltage from AC adapter was jumping between 3V (do not recall correctly) and 4.xV, and the fan spinning/stopping on its own.

    Initial readings:
    Code:
    PL202=4.12V  10.5 Ω   .010V drop  Hot Area
    PL201=1.06V  44.1 kΩ  .320V drop  Hot Area
    PL401=0V    55.4 Ω   .143V drop
    PL801=0.04V  71 Ω    .050V drop
    PL301=0V    112 Ω   .174V drop
    PL101=3.70V  (out of scale)  .345V drop
    Due to PL202 low resistance to ground, removed PJ206 jumper to find short after the coil, on +5ALW side.

    Replaced U56 (have some TPS22966DPUR in case of need), U101, U8 that were bad. Short still present (for instance testing C216 +5VS line).

    Injected 1V on +5VS line then (after checking CPU, PCH and EC not heating up) slowly increased voltage till 2.8V and found PU701 getting quite hot.

    Replaced PU701 (NCP81108MNTXG_QFN36_5X5). Short on +5V was gone. Soldered PJ206. Connected AC adapter and U101 smoked and PU701 shorted again:
    • Pins 2-3 (18.5Ω) and 4 (3.3Ω) of U101 with low resistance to ground.
    • PJ206: 18.5Ω
    • pin 15 of PU701: 16.04Ω


    Replaced U101. Removed PU701 (that was creating a short again) and that it is so far.


    Code:
    PL202= >79 kΩ               .331V drop
    PL201= 45.1 kΩ               .322V drop
    PL401= 55.5 Ω               .143V drop
    PL801= 50-78.4 Ω              .042V drop
    PL301= 940 Ω              .279V drop
    PL101= (out of scale)           .405V drop
    PU701 pads (NCP81108MNTXG_QFN36_5X5):
    Code:
    Pin 1: 170Ω
    Pin 2: 95Ω
    Pin 3: 96Ω
    Pin 4: 106.4Ω
    Pin 5: 86.3Ω
    Pin 6: 198.3kΩ - 305kΩ
    Pin 7: 32.4kΩ
    Pin 8: 11.33kΩ
    Pin 9: 45.7kΩ
    Pin 10: no reading or out of range
    Pin 11: no reading or out of range ?
    Pin 12: 77.5Ω
    Pin 13: no reading or out of range
    Pin 14: 0.06Ω (GND)
    Pin 15: from 1.xMΩ down to 77.2kΩ
    Pin 16: no reading or out of range
    Pin 17: no reading or out of range
    Pin 18: no reading or out of range
    Pin 19: no reading or out of range
    Pin 20: 25.6kΩ
    Pin 21: no reading or out of range
    Pin 22: 1.99kΩ
    Pin 23: 1.xMΩ - 76.9kΩ ?
    Pin 24: 77.2kΩ
    Pin 25: 10.4Ω (CSREF)
    Pin 26: 130kΩ
    Pin 27: 349kΩ
    Pin 28: 372kΩ
    Pin 29: 30kΩ
    Pin 30: 1.07kΩ
    Pin 31: no reading or out of range
    Pin 32: no reading or out of range
    Pin 33: no reading or out of range
    Pin 34: 2Ω
    Pin 35: 79.3Ω
    Pin 36: no reading or out of range
    Suspecting of [PQ802](https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datash...D/AON6554.html) but maybe I'm wrong:
    Code:
    Diode check:
    Drain-Source: 0.065V
    Source-Drain: 0.071V
    
    Resistance check:
    source-drain: 57Ω
    drain-source: 77.5Ω
    source-gate: no reading
    gate-drain: no reading
    drain-gate: no reading
    Any help on how to proceed / what to check?
