HP V6000 WILL NOT POWER ON WITH SOLUTION

-

 


Machine: HP G6000(same mainboard as V6000) Laptop will not power up The machine has been water damaged. It does not have system standby power, which are 3V and 5V. 

HOW TO REPAIR THE ABOVE FAULTY PC:
Check Max8724(the battery charging chip) first, because to make system has standby power
this chip must work correctly. This is a 28 pin chip, we only need to test 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 11 pin. They are VIN(main power for chip), LDO(provide 3.3V for chip itself in order to set REF voltage, also provide signal to drive 2 MOS to charge battery), REF(set reference voltage of the chip), SHDN#(enable/disable chip, a switch), ACIN(indicate the power supply has plugged in), ACOK#(power adaptor ok with mainboard). Everything ok except 10 pin, ACIN is 0V. This is incorrect, mainboard doesn’t detect there is an adaptor! Trace it backward and find it is very simple – mainboard use 2 resistors to pull the input voltage(19V, directly from dc socket) down to about 4V, so test the first resistor and find it opened. Change it and 3V/5V power come up and mainboard be able to switch on.
Then the trouble start when I try to charge the battery. The charging current never go beyond 0.15A and after 10 seconds the charging light start to flashing. Also can’t switch on from battery. First, change Max8724, still same problem. Next check all the resistors around max8724 and change it if it has any sign of watering, still no good. Then change KB3926(EC/KBC, chip monitors the statue of battery), still same. This is the fault that I never dealt with before.
Decide to check MBDATA and MBCLCK, 2 signals that send battery information from battery to
KB3926 before I give up. I find the MBDATA is short! Finally, find there are 2 pins stick together on CN10(the connector of multimedia switch board). Fix it and it start to charging battery. Switch on with power adaptor, ok. Remove the power adaptor once switch on, battery keep the mainboard running, ok. But still can’t switch on from battery once remove the power adaptor. Think, think, do I miss something here or there? Oh, the CMOS battery not installed, put the CMOS battery back and everything work
perfectly. The battery part of troubleshooting takes me about 3 hours.
Remember, system may not run if you don’t have CMOS battery or CMOS battery is low for some
AMD cpu mainboard.

 If you are having an issue with installing a printer or getting other issues dealing with a printer or printer setup on the computer, try this troubleshooter.  If a step doesn't apply, skip to next step  1. Turn computer off  2. Turn printer off 3. Disconnect power to printer for 2 minutes  4. Turn printer back on  5. Wait one minute  6. Make sure all connections are good  7. If your printer has both parallel and USB connectors, only have one of the two connected and not both. The USB is faster. (most new systems do not have parallel connections)  8. Turn computer back on  9. Make sure the printer has ink  10. Is the printer networked? If so is it connected to the network via computer or router. If it is connected via a computer and the computer is off, the other systems will not see it.  11. Make sure the dependencies to the print spool is started  12. Check the manufacturer of the printer to see if there is a newer driver for the printer.  13. Check the manufacturer for any patc

RESISTOR TESTING

1- Visual inspection: Checks for missing or any burning on resistance.   2- Using Digital Multimeter: You can check the resistor resistance by selecting the ohm range in the digital multimeter, If the resistor is in circuit, you will generally have to remove the resistor so you are testing only the resistor value and not the other components in the circuit.   Connect test probes across the two points of the resistor as shown in the photo, polarity isn’t important, value of resistance shown is 9.86 kΩ. Note: All resistors have a specific tolerance rating. The tolerance rating is marked by a color band on the end of the resistor’s body, normally the band is gold indicating 5 % tolerance. If the tolerance band is silver, then the rating is 10 %. How to test SMD Resistors: Because of the small size of SMD resistors, there is often not room for the traditional color band code to be printed on them. Therefore, new resistor SMD codes were developed. The most commonly seen codes are the three

IP Address: internet protocol

-
   What is an IP address?     An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.     It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network. Types of IP addresses:     IPv4: This is the most common type of IP address used today. It consists of four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.0.1). IPv4 allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses.     IPv6: With the increasing number of connected devices, IPv6 was introduced to address the depletion of IPv4 addresses. It uses eight sets of numbers separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 provides a significantly larger address space. How IP addresses work:     When a device wants to communicate with another device over the internet, it needs to know the destination device's IP ad
