I have a Asus X555LD that does not show any life at all. It is only 1 year old and had very little use. I have looked at the motherboard for any idication to any bad components (only a visual look) but on looking I noticed a chip that had 2 pins soldered together.
I have attached an image of the chip. The markings are 4955N RAX90, this flags up as 'Power MOSFET'.
Should these pins be joined? It looks well joined to be honest I just thought it was strange....
The board pictured is the one from eBay, It has the exact same markings stamped (model number and revision) but has the extra black plug bit on (circled in orange).
Zomi has said he believes the original board (back in the unit) will have the green cap missing.
I was asked if I could have a look at the above tv, there is no display, sound, leds, or anything showing any sign of life before I opened it.
I took the unit apart and couldn't see any obvious damage. Not having knowledge to check voltages or anything I suggested that it was more than likely the power supply board that was dead seen as though there was no standby light lit. After discussing this we purchased a replacement board from ebay and fitted it, I then tried the unit again, -same result no power.
Ok, i have put the board back in today, i replaced that bad mosfet, but the tv did the exact same thing, so i attempted to get the Vscan voltage.
I did this on the yboard side not on the psu, im not sure if my meter was making a very good connection as they have plastic all the way to the very end. i got a reading of -0.80 down to -0.30 when i powered the unit on at the wall.
if the reading i got was correct could it be an issue with the psu?
I have not yet checked the voltages as the tv is not with me at the moment.
I have did not replace the 10 chips in the kit, i have done this check on them not sure if this is the correct way to test them.
See the below picture, all of them read 0.21 on the multimeter apart from the one i have marked red this reports OL. when i remove this one from the board all the others then read .870+.
Upon that test i presumed the it was bad and wanted...
I have the above tv that has gotten a line down the screen. i have removed the back panel and done a visual inspection. On first glances i don't see any damaged components.
