Recognition and Scope of Reparation Theory

1. User Manual
User manual is a guide book for customer or user. Usually, there is in one
package when you buy a new laptop.
2. Service Manual
As a technician, the service manual serves as a standard laptop unloading
procedure. Especially if there is the latest series that we never do
maintenance on the laptop, then the service manual may be in need. The fact
that there are many wrong procedures in conducting the process of
dismantling and assembling, it can cause the case cracked or broken. There
are also some other descriptions that can be our guide on the field, on the
official website of each laptop brand provides a service manual for each of
their products. Example: up screen short from DOC (Service Manual).

3. Power Flowchart
Technobook.net

Damage Case:
1. LCD display is too dark, the checking stage starts from the inverter
and check sections “AC_BATT_SYS”. If there is a problem in this
section either the voltage or the socket in damaged, then just fix it. The
execution process is finished. If there is no problem in this section, then
check and continue to the next section.
2. Signal control, note the direction of the arrow and so it goes. This
is the technique of checking with FLOWCHART media, some
brands provide this media like ASUS. From here we know what parts
to check. So the flowchart acts as a SOP for breakdowns
and checking.

4. Schematic
In general, the function of schematic
diagram are:

1. Knowing the interface/


path connection between
components (component
communication).

2. Knowing the point of


measurement and its value.

3. Knowing the input and


output points (stage & etc).
Technobook.net

4. Knowing how circuit works to


analyze the circuit.

5. Knowing the code, type and value


of a component.

5. DATASHEET
In general, the function of datasheet
are :

1. Knowing the details of component


functions and how they work.

2. Knowing the term signals on the


component pins as well as the
function and how it works.

3. Knowing the reference input and


output voltage of a component as
material comparison or equation
component.

4. Knowing the value of the voltage on


each pin component

Basic Components of SMD on Motherboard Laptop


Technobook.net

The component form is divided into two, they are standard and SMD or mini
component, and of its characteristic are also divided into two, active and
passive components. The active component is a type of electronics
component that requires an electric current to work, in an electronic circuit
that can amplify and direct electrical signals, and can convert energy from
one form to another (transistors and IC diodes). Passive component is a type
of electronic component that works without the need for electric current, so it
cannot strengthen and rectify electrical signals and cannot convert energy to
another form (resistor, capacitor etc).

Resistor
Technobook.net

SMD or mini component resistor in the laptop motherboard serves as a


resistance and if its value is 0 - 000, the resistor serves as a jumper (fuse).

The color and shape of this resistor on laptop motherboards are generally
black and green as in the example image. Often found in power jack / dc jack
and charging circuit.

In particular, the resistor functions as a resistance. However, its use in circuit


electronics. In general this component has a complex function depending on
the placement on a circuit. Resistor in circuit laptop motherboards generally
serve as a resistance, voltage divider, comparator, full up, safety, jumper and
current limiter.

The resistor also has a resistance value and its resistance to the circuit. I hope
you do not stop here, please learn more specific, either via browsing or

One type of resistor is a lice resistor, in the laptop motherboard circuit it


functions very complex depending on the layout of the circuit. Also the
amount is very much. Lice resistor is almost found in all motherboard circuit
systems. To note here, is not the form but the code. Because there are other
components with a shape that is both small and same color but not R
(resistor), but L (inductor).
Resistors are also often referred to as resistance. I will discuss it briefly, for
more advanced level please understand more deeply and more specifically
about resistor, OHM law and calculation of resistance to current and load.
Technobook.net

Characteristics of this component will break the current and voltage or


change the value of the voltage itself if damaged, especially in the input
circuit, and other problems if the resistors breaks then the input will not flow
to the system/IC. The damage caused by this lice resistor is almost all of the
characteristics of laptop damage (no charging, totally died, no display, etc)

SMD Network means, one component can contain multiple resistors that
have the same resistance value in one package or component form. This type
of resistor we often encounter in the keyboard path. This component is rarely
damaged except on the 2000s motherboard output with error keyboard
problems.

2.2. Resistor Measurement

In addition to knowing the form of symbols and functions as a material


damage analysis as well as an absolute requirement to read schematic,
technicians are also required to be able to identify whether the component is
still good or damaged, then you have to master the measurement material.
Although you do not understand the characteristic of the components of the
circuit, you can directly fix the laptop. Because of my own reset, proof that
80% of laptop technicians do not have basic electronics/technical education
background, and some of them use “street techniques” (Ask to other what is
the damaged, what part that have to replaced then without thinking so long
they immediately practice). So, you can do it! In this book you are provided
with basic provisions electronics, also at the core of this book you will learn
schematic diagram.

There are 3 stages of correct component identification process


procedure:

1. Check the condition of the component (bad or good).


This identification is the easiest execution technique, such as improving
the mechanical system (readable and visible) with the characteristics of
cracked or burned components. In this case the thoroughness and
quietness is the key. There are many cases, technicians have checked
Technobook.net

many components, and it turns out only the power cable is detached.
2. Check with chip detection technique
Touch/hold on component body, If the component feels hot, 70% there is
a problem with the component.
3. Measurement (advanced method)
An execution technique that is invisible to the eye, not heard by the ear,
and cannot be touched, because it must use other media, such as
measuring instruments and we mastered first one gauge called digital
multimeter.

Measurements are divided into 2 stages:


1. The measurement without voltage
By removing the component or tensing one component of the
circuit/motherboard or the component legs on the lift next.

Measurements without voltage with special


tool SMD TESTER, measurement of this method to measure the
suitability of the resistance value of component and schematic.
Note:
The use of SMD TESTER tools will be accurate. This technique is to
measure the value of a resistor where the result is to match the
component resistance value in the schematic (if there is no resistance in
the component body). Because of over time or due to the weakness of a
circuit/damage circuit Component values may change.
2. Measurement with voltage
This technique is used to measure the value of input and output voltage).
This method of measurement provided that the input has a voltage (use a
PSU 30V - 5A only, because the current consumption can be seen on the
display for ease in further engineering methods). And measurement
techniques like this, to identify the magnitude of the voltage before passing
through the resistor and after passing through the resistor. Large input and
output values before or after the resistor pass must be the same except the
Technobook.net

ampere value.
If the output value after passing the resistor differs more than 3 digits, then
it can be sure the resistor is damaged/problematic, the problem is resistor
on most motherboards and almost used in all circuit systems. Do not worry;
the damage of the resistors is in the characteristic of complicated damage,
and from 10 laptops only 4 where the resistors cause damage.

Technique of measuring:
Black probe standby on ground. Scale the multimeter at DC 20V (which is
important that the value of the voltage we will measure must exceed the
scale of the multimeter). Notice the arrows of numbers one and two, is the
first measurement on the input before passing the resistor and the second
after passing through the resistor or output. Whereas 1 and 1 written steps
may be measurements on the IC pins directly because of one output line
after the resistor, the important thing is that no other component passes the
output path after the resistor. Resistors in the VIN line is one of causes of
damage with the characteristics of voltage loss, protect switch and light up
briefly then die. (IC does not work because it does not get power supply
disconnected because of resistor)

3. Capacitor
Name Symbol Code Shape
Elco C
Capacitor (Polar) PC : POWER
CAPACITOR

Capacitors are a component that has many types and also forms. One of them,
Technobook.net

which are in use in laptop motherboard. Such as in the picture (type SMD
elco), in addition to its function as a charge storage in the laptop
motherboard, also serves as a filter in the series of switching and decoupling.
Elcoalso has a resistance value with the symbol μF (microfarad) and the
voltage on the component body. More higher the value of μF on the
capacitor in the filter circuit will be better, and the voltage value on the
capacitor must exceed the number of voltage values to be passed.
The weakness of elco is the leakage of components that causes the value of
the output voltage to change drop, even short circuit is often found on the
problem of 3V and 5V circuits as well VCC core.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor
Name Symbol Code Shape
Tantalum Capacitor C
(Polar) PC : Power Capacitor

Capacitors have different shapes and series, just like a resistor. One of them
is like the picture beside (type SMD Tantalum). In addition to its function as a
temporary load storage. In the laptop motherboard also it functions as a filter
in switching and decoupling circuits. If we look at the symbols and shapes,
the components of elco and tantalum have positive and negative poles, so the
installation on the circuit should not be inverted. (Elco may be replaced with
tantalum vice versa). This type of component is widely used for alternate
NEC/TOKIN replacement on the VCC core in case of no display, with the
characteristic of no display total voltage VCC core drop 0v - 0.9V. It should
be noted that NEC/TOKIN is also included in component capacitor families.

C
Ceramic Capacitor/ PC : Power Capacitor
Biopolar

Capacitors have different shapes and series. One of them is like the picture on
the side (SMD Ceramic type). Works as a filter noose, if we are Pay attention
Technobook.net

to symbols & shapes. Ceramic type components have no poles, so the


installation may be reversed. Often we find on the 19V input bypass path in
all circuit systems and one of the causes of the most dominant motherboard
short circuit (this type of component often suffered damage, especially in the
case of short circuit).
Technobook.net

3.1. Characteristic of
Capacitors in the Circuit

Shorting = A meeting between positive and negative poles, and the


characteristic of this component if it breaks it does not break the current/
voltage like FUSE or RESISTOR, but connects/matches the two poles that
should be separated (positive and
Technobook.net

negative). This event is often called short circuit.


Note the picture on the side, the bipolar
capacitor component is arranged in
parallel and connected directly to the
VIN (source voltage of the circuit
system) and on the foot after it is
connected to ground. And what happens
if this component is damaged/short?
Then all VIN lines in all systems will be affected by short. Although the
damaged it only one component.
The more mounted capacitors in this circuit, it will be better.
But unfortunately in the laptop motherboard series only installed 3 - 2 pieces
only. And this component is the top score of total dead laptop damage from
past to the present, almost in all electronic devices without exception, laptop
motherboard as well. If we find the short circuit and it has been narrowed in
just one circuit by removing the jumper/disconnecting the jumper path or the
inductor component.
The techniques to find a shorting capacitor arranged parallel as in the picture
beside, remove the capacitor whose value is the largest in the schematic
diagram because it is usually the most damaged first. Parallel arranged
capacitors serve to flatten currents and voltages (currents and voltages are
always directly proportional). The basic principle of capacitor is the charge
storage and then releases it. While the capacitors are arranged in series then
the characteristic will be different, if the input voltage goes up he fills the
charge and if the voltage drops he will dispose of the charge. The capacitor
will conduct electricity when the input is off or in AC mode and charge if ON
or when in the DC mode. There are 2 functions: the first function to block the
DC voltage and the second function to smooth the AC voltage.
Technobook.net

The characteristic of the components in


the polar capacitor switching circuit regulator act as AC signal filters
generated by the coil/inductor in the switching process. These components
are BOXES & ROUNDES (tantalum & elco). Unlike tantalum, elco as time
goes by its value will decrease faster, and the use of elco that I know on the
motherboard circuit is not nice, but cannot deny the price is cheap.
It's almost the same as the type of ceramic capacitor but it does exist
additional cases, if these components are damaged especially those using elco
then the output value will change. For example if the image beside 5V then in
fact can be 0V or 1V + often occurs in 3V and 5V circuits.

3.2. Capacitor Measurement

Capacitor measurement using


voltage
Note: This measurement is only for
measuring the safe voltage point,
because the shape and scope of the
capacitor is wider. For the tip of the
multimeter probe, we can also modify
Technobook.net

the multimeter tip with the needle.


The black probe does not always have
to be on the ground pin of the
capacitor. Can be in the screw hole or
any part as long as it is safe and is a
ground path.

Measurement and identification of


capacitor
Because of the capacitor has a positive and negative pole, if this component
is damaged, it will result in short circuit (the negative and positive poles
occur due to the leakage in the capacitor). Although only 1 component of the
capacitor is damaged in one circuit, but it affects the other circuit.
The measurement it is almost the same as the voltage measurement, the
difference is only the position of the scale on the buzzer and the position of
the motherboard is not fed by voltage. If the component is damaged: check
the probe, the diode mode value is below 0.10 (the measurement requirement
is to lift the leg of the component).

4. Inductor
Name Symbol Code Shape
L
Inductor PL : Power
Induktor

The inductor function in the laptop's motherboard is used to switching


circuits. The inductor in the switching circuit system serves to store the
charge. And utilized for saving measurement point as well as capacitors, but
Technobook.net

the measurement results more accurate to the capacitor than the inductor.
Basically in circuit, switching inductor and capacitor function is same, to
save current when switch is connected and release its charge when the switch
is released, but there are advantages of each component. Inductors are widely
used as circuit breakers one and another, when the execution process narrows
the characteristic shorting of the motherboard. And in other techniques,
inductors are used as short-chip detectors and short circuit.

4.1. Characteristic of Inductor

In a switching circuit system, the


inductor serves to store the charge. When the switch is connected and
discharges its charge, when the switch is released, in this way the current
constantly enters the load. This component is in fact never damaged, unless
the type of small inductor is shaped like a lice resistor in the LVDS & GPU
system. As well as capacitors, inductors are utilized for safe measurement
points. In addition, inductors are also used for syringes point and integral
circuit breakers between one series and another (narrowing the search for
short tracking on standard execution methods).
Note: There are many repetitions of the same word to be easier to remember
and faster to understand until you are bored with the repetition means you can
already remember it.

4.2. Inductor Measurement


Technobook.net

Identification of inductor measurement for determines good or bad is very


simple.
Techniques:
The term is do not use voltage and scale position on buzzer/diode value
mode. If the multimeter rang, it means the component is still good although
its value is below 0.10

5. Diode

Diode Rectifier PD: Power Diode

Diode has different form and series, one of them is like the image beside. In
motherboard laptop, general function of diode is for rectifier and alternating
current protection. Diode is an active component of semiconductor which
consists of junction P-N / A / K. The characteristic of the diode is that it can
conduct current at forward voltage and inhibit current at reverse voltage.
There is another name for the circuit diode also known as rectifier. You can
develop more specific later. But on component delivery materials for
motherboard focuses on memorization codes and symbols for applications on
the material, because initial requirement of reading schematic is memorize

the form and the next symbol function and circuit analysis.

The function of LED Diode in motherboard laptop is almost 95% for light
indicator. Because power consumption is very low, lot of product
motherboard using SMD DIODE LED type. Damage on diode in
motherboard is very rare, it is like just 1 in 10 laptop. Because if diode
broken or damage it will be break the charge/voltage/current. To measuring
diode, equate measuring diode with inductor measurement techniques. And if
the three leg diode, watch the direction at diode symbol A to K.

Jack, which functions as protection circuit to close or passed the voltage of
19V / S5 circuit. While outside the bypass line DC jack and charging, this
component is not in use. In the Input Voltage circuit and any output, the
value is the same except the gate which is ½ value of input and output values
(generally) although not all of them like that. Because the characteristic of
this component decided payload and only move on the positive track which
works as ordered from the gate between pass the voltage or not (switch). So,
if this component is broken, the input will find the voltage and at the output
Technobook.net

do not find. With the condition on the gate there is voltage. In reality the
damage characteristics of this component are: Cannot use batteries, cannot
wear adapter, batteries cannot charging. Must Plugin the adapter even
though the battery has full.
In addition, the protection system will be active if there is a short in the
output path after the charging circuit, result the voltage is only at the mosfet
input only (but the mosfet is good condition). So, do not directly fix the
mosfet, mainly on total dead short damage. First make sure the output path of
the mosfet is not the short way by measuring the diode value mode (buzzer)
the position of the motherboard does not use Voltage.
The red probe on the output leg of the mosfet and black probe on ground, and
if it beeps sound, can be sure there are short in the lane output after mosfet,
especially on VIN path. So all you have to do is checking on VIN line.

Transistor Q
Mosfet N - PQ : Power Transistor
Channel

The shape of mosfet N-Channel is same with mosfet P-channel, but has a
different function. N-channel in laptop motherboard is many used as lowering
voltage and Current amplifier in the process of switching (step down) inside
switching/SMPS circuit. This component often found and in use for VRAM
circuit, VCC CORE, GPU CORE, 3V &5V. After memorizing shapes,
symbols and codes develop more specific in theory about this mosfet because
of this component very important both from the pin and the system it works
with datasheet. Because in the latest motherboard there is a double name of
mosfet and designed mosfet in BGA chip system. If you are basically having
missed much, we can catch up on this and there's no word too late to learn.
Technobook.net

6.1. N-Channel and P-Channel Mosfet Characteristic

Mospet P - chanel is often found in DC


jack and Charging circuits. Character and the function of this component
serve as a protection circuit. Example, If there is short after output (pin 5678)
then automatically gate on pin 4 will open the gate as ordered from
SYSTEM, consequently the voltage is only present on pin 123 only.
And if not found short circuit on the output then 90% certainly this mosfet is
problematic. And other problems are also sourced from mosfet underneath
(we call it a small transistor 6 legs).

N-Chanel Mosfet in parallel arrangement


(HIGH & LOW), on a continuous basis simple, works for the switching
process that its function is for decrease voltage according to gate command
voltage from DC or IC 3V & 5V. This is the conclusion of the difference of
N-channel and p-channel mosfet. If N-channel is identical to parallel circuit
while P-Channel identical to the series.
Consider one of the legs of the MOSFET that connected to the ground. If this
Technobook.net

component is damaged, consequently SHORT CIRCUIT, even the damaged


underneath or above the mosfet. Gate on the N-channel mosfet is rarely
problematic, because in this path there is no component to pass (toll roads).
Except, the absence of gate or command voltage of the controller itself in this
case IC 3V & 5V problem.
The characteristics of toll roads can be to narrow down the identification of
measurements on the circuit. The characteristics of this component if
damaged will be short circuit. And its effects to all circuits is almost equal to
capacitor, although only one component is damaged the others components
will be affected of short notice.
The solution may remove one by one of the affected components subject to
shorting indications or more quickly by injection technique. May take off the
adjacent inductor to bypass the connection between the circuits. We develop
later in material system 3V and 5V. (If you still are confused with the
material of functions and applications to the circuit, we as technicians simply
hold on to how to test/check the components either good or not, that is
enough).

6.2. Good and Damaged Component Testing


Technobook.net

K1 is a scale on multimeter, and remember that technique is simple no need to make


complicated and dizzy because technique is an art. Jump to the measurement, we
divided it into 2. They are the measurement of voltage and component
measurement. The measurement of voltage is the measurement using voltage,
while component measurement does not use voltage. And that we will discuss from
sample image above is the component measurement. Do not read this material first,
if the previous material about the components of the form, symbols and functions
have not memorized yet.

And if already memorized, we go again slowly. The point is if the component is


damaged note the picture G3, the measurement is enough to reverse the probe with
K2 scale and we are pegged on one theory only (if we have reverse the probes, and
there is a sounds then component is damaged).

The rest of the results, that the component is still good or worthy use, the
measurement may be inside or outside circuit. And only applies to DIODE,
MOSFET, CAPACITOR, while the special one for F (fuse) if we have reverse the
probes, and there is a sound, its means the components are in good condition. How
to measure for resistor and IC? specifically for resistor measurement wear a special
tool called SMD tester because its accuracy. As for measuring IC later we will
explain through the method of measuring the voltage. Accurate measurement by
removing the leg component next/side lift.
6.3 Testing of Legs Components

Measurement of 3 Legs Components

1. Red probe on single leg and black probe on the right leg (must have value on
display multimeter).

2. Then we reverse the probe position, the red one on the right PIN and the one
black
on single PIN (there should be no value on the multimeter display).

3. If the measurement results are not as described, then the component is damaged
(or
else failure).

4. Testing should be without voltage and remove the components.

This serves as a clock pulse producer. Crystals are an important component in


Oscillator circuit and RTC circuit. In use within the scope of the component
high speed. For example, PCH and EC as a series of generators/working
conditions of the chipset component is the point. Crystal in oscillator circuit
can only be measured with oscilloscope/counter at least 100 mHz. But do not
worry, this component is rarely damaged except on the system itself or where
the component is in place it on a circuit like input circuit before entering it,
like resistor / comparator capacitor.
8. CMOS
Name Symbol Code Form

CMOS RTC

It functions to save BIOS settings and time/date in the motherboard. Before


the mandatory voltage, there is actually a voltage on the motherboard called
CMOS. There are 2 terms of the same name but different functions like RTC
and RTC circuit crystal oscillator. Later we will encounter in schematic what
is RTC circuit.
If the CMOS is corrupted, then the time setting will be always changing. On
windows will be an error especially when browsing. In other cases, if the
CMOS battery is damaged or discharged when in the adapter plug, the laptop
immediately flames itself. I often forget to reinstall CMOS after the execution
process, it is a mandatory law, when the CMOS execution process must be
first off to avoid fatal error (in CMOS there is a voltage 3V, there is a
description in the component body).
Testing the CMOS in a good condition or not is easy. You measure it, if the
CMOS voltage is 3V then CMOS is ok. If the voltage drops till 1V or even 0
then CMOS is not worth wearing. So how do you measure it? We continue
this slowly.

IC PU

IC (Integrated Circuit) is Component active electronics consisting of


composite hundreds or even millions of transistors, resistors and other
components being integrated into an Electronics Circuit in a small packaging.
Forms of IC also vary, ranging from 3 Legged to hundreds of legs (terminal).
IC functions are also diverse, ranging from amplifier, switching, and
controller to media storage. Generally, IC is electronic components are used
as brain in an Electronics Equipment. IC is a semiconductor component that
is very sensitive to ESD (Electro Static Discharge). For example, IC that
function as brain on a computer called as Microprocessor, consists of 16
million transistors and that number has not yet been included other electronic
components.
Technobook.net

All components with PU code are IC, but the code function is different. A lot
of PU on the motherboard. So, for beginners, you should creative to take one
sample motherboard and see how much PU in the motherboard, then take a
look datasheet to know the function and how it works.
As time passes you will know the function of each PU with its code, because
it is only a few IC manufacturers use in laptop motherboards like Realtek,
Broadcom, Atheros, TPS, Maxim etc.
IC is the brain of each circuit (controller). Let us simplify easily, only if IC
for voice then we call IC sound. If IC for 3V and 5V then its name also i3 3V
and 5V. And the location of IC is not far from hardware that will be enabled.
Identification of a good or bad IC should be with schematic to know the input
pin and outputs. Measurement techniques must also use voltage not like other
components in general. We continue on series later. The IC shape is a box
like the picture on the side, there is also a square and always identical to the
number of pins it’s a lot. And there are also shapes such as a mosfet. So we
are in demand from symbol codes or their respective forms component. We
describe some common IC for advanced knowledge on some IC component
materials below

For basic measurement techniques please on


the input and its output first.

Technobook.net

11. Amplifier and Digital Logic Gates


The form of PU in symbol schematic shaped like digital gate, it is
components are almost similar to 6 or the word amp is identical to the
amplifier on old home-based electronic devices, such as radio.
But in a laptop motherboard, amp is functions as a regulator of
power/Regulation of power, which in general already specially designed in
IC system although there are some who do not. We will find OP-AMP on the
diagram IC work system in component datasheet. Knowledge for digital
system little important & for beginners this material you can skip it first. The
symbol resembles a logic gate digital, even there is a resemblance to gate
notes and Schmitt trigger ones. Its function is to clean up and amplifies the
signal before it is sent to output and advanced circuit. There are characteristic
also in the gate system logic like Schmitt trigger gate, there are inverting
(almost the same With NOT gate) and some NON Inverting. 8 legs mosfet.
But just calm down, this type of component is rare in damage.

DATASHEET
Datasheet is a complete description of a component about it function,
Characteristic, How to Work, work system, pin description, etc.
Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datasheet
So with Datasheet we will easily know the functions of each component in
the motherboard more specific and complete. How to read datasheet? The key
is Learn - learn and learn, read, read and read and you will understand the
key.
Technobook.net

In technicians worlds, especially in IC usage datasheet enough to know the


source of incoming voltage and function, to make sure the component is good
or damaged, that's it. We will see the description below and the points: There
are terms of input voltage and the most common in use is VIN and VCCP.

How to Read Datasheet


Lots of websites that provide document datasheet or component data, for
example: https://www.ti.com/ or http://www.alldatasheet.com/

The code used for searching is the top Or can use schematic because the
most code on the component body. If code and brand IC is more clear
not found go to the code in the
middle.

Or by directly to google. When we

Image 1.1 Motherboard Structure

Motherboard functions as a place for components and the path that connects
it. You can see at image 1.1.
Image information: note the first picture
Image 1 (Schematic)
Is a layout, path and information about components in motherboard
(schematic is a motherboard map)
Image 2 (Design)
In the world of electronics engineering, motherboard design is included
into the scope of the material engineering drawings. If we look at
simulation schematic - design - layout on image no 2, there is a
difference of path form (art technique). However, on the basis of its
function is the same as conductor

Image 3 (Layout)
Form a perfect circuit that has been installed components and ready to
enable. Please simulate, and then look at the next 3 sample images in
the table. And i hope you already understand for this theory.

Image 2.2 Motherboard Structure

Image information:
Note different image 2.2 and see the difference image 1 to 3.
Image 1: Is the basic structure of the motherboard after the print
design process.
Technobook.net

Note (No 1 - 2 - 3 - 4) is a type of path that has been modified


with the art of drawing. So also in image 2 where the motherboard
has been given color. In addition to functioning to beautify
motherboard is also to prevent short circuits/shorting
materials/hardware that have conductive properties when direct
contact with paths on the motherboard.
Notice in the image 1 and 2 in the description of image no 3
where the end of the path in connection with circles, and circles
are directly related to the motherboard part board path rear as an
example in image 3 simulated the front lane and the rear lane of
the board motherboard. There is even a manufacture that designs
3 layer motherboards (front lane - middle -Back).

And note the example motherboard image in bottom table and see the
path.
Technobook.net

3. COMPONENT CODE
The component codes are contained on the laptop's motherboard. If we
apply with a map of a country the component code is the names of a
city/province as a layout hint. While the path is a name street connect it.

4. PIN 1 SIMULATION FORM


Zooming Picture
Technobook.net

Image Information:
No. 1: The position of the IC legs always arranged reversed
clockwise.
No. 2: Enlarge the image and note the order of the 1st to last leg position
following the reverse direction clockwise. But we must be careful,
when looking at the pin position on the schematic. It because on
schematic pin position in random or not sequentially unlike on the
motherboard.
No. 3: Special position for large or regular shaped IC we often find in
IC SIO/CHIPSET. The position of 1 leg is in the straight line of the
initial capital letters of the code on the component (inside the scope PIN
1 motherboard is usually marked with arrow code, Lines, and dots).
No. 4: The position of PIN 1 above is in the straight line of the initial
capital letters of the code on the component.
Note: There is a difference between the images and position of PIN 1,
between picture no. 3 & No. 4. This is possible confusing. The solution,
Technobook.net

we note the PIN 1 on the components and PIN code 1 on the


motherboard before discharging the components so that the installation
process is not reversed, because it will fatal result. Or often pay
attention to Position PIN 1 on all brands of motherboards as material
comparison for advanced understanding.

5. SIMULATION FORM CODE COMPONENTS AND PIN


Zooming Picture

Picture information:
Enlarge image & note the position of PIN1 on component and
motherboard. PIN code 1 on motherboard symbolized with the code:
triangle arrows, lines, and dots. On other motherboards as well we often
find the PIN code 1 in the form of two triangular curve lines. Take one
sample motherboard then apply this material.

Note component code on motherboard below

6. CODE BOARD

The function of code board in


motherboard are :
Looking for hardware drivers.
Looking for motherboard bios files
easily.
Looking for a motherboard schematic
easily.

7. TECHNIQUE TO FIND COMPONENT ON MOTHERBOARD AND SCHEMATIC

This technique can be apply to :


The component burns, so that when
it comes to replacing the component
code and the type of component that
is in use is not visible or burned.
Then the schematic role here will be
in need.
Find component layout for
schematic

Example :
We want to find component (C387
then that we need is schematic & after
open schematic press keyboard ctrl - F
(then well show the navigation box then
write C387 then the layout of the
components and the circuit in schematic
will open. This technique applies to all
components. And can to overcome
Lane burning. Fast watering can also is
using the software board view facility.

8. BOARD VIEWER

There are many types of software to display the layout


components directly on the motherboard. Broadview
at its development now functions more complex not
just looking for the layout of components but already
equipped with type of voltage. And we use sample
common and often in use it as a picture of what is
Technobook.net

board view.
Download its software (PCB Repair tool). Example:
as in figure on the side.

The board view extension is not like schematic, but in


the form of a file with which in general is (FZ.BV ASC
DLL) example file like the picture on the side.

If PCB Repair Tool software is already downloaded.


Double file the exe, then the software can be used and
running on windows 64 and 32 bits. Then input file
Fz.bv or asc according to brand and type of laptop that
you get then input copy file fz it In doc folder PCB
Repair Tool software. How to do:
Click setup then click preferences as shown.

Click doc file storage FZ and collect as many files

POWER MOTHERBOARD

KNOWING POWER MOTHERBOARD


The power system is used in the basic circuit structure of the laptop
motherboard circuit Is both analog and digital automation systems and power
supply circuit systems are in use 90% type of switching power supply system
(SMPS) and LDO where output result from circuit regulator serves as an
input source for a chip microcontroller and microprocessor. While the other
circuits are the sensors circuit and logic. I hope here you start dizzy.

ANALOG AND DIGITAL REGULATOR


The difference between analog and digital circuits lies in the function of the
circuit itself. We apply Simple analog electronics system is an electronic
system built in Manual, While the digital circuit is an automatic circuit. An
example of a long time ago before i was born to climb a building I had to
walk up the stairs a lot, and the technology to facilitate humans in the activity
and so forth.
Like the ladder now we have found in buildings has been transformed into an
escalator (running staircase). The manual ladder is electronic analog and
running ladder is digital (automatic) electronics. Technological developments
increasingly rapidly along with the progress of the growing era and escalator
transformed now into LIFT, so also in the system of electronic devices as
well such as mobile phones and others. Then what is the difference between
analog and digital in a circuit Electronic? We learn step by step with table

the circuit.

Charge
A pole in electrical electronics called pole positive and
pole Negative. The charge will run through the carrier
coming from resources (electricity). The charge flows
from a positive to a negative point anything and in this
case (voltage and current).

Load
The load contained in the conductor (negative and
positive is two poles that copy contradictory (if meet
directly can clash). Example without being attached a
load if These two poles meet directly there will be a
short circuit, just try the electrical cable we put together
then plugs into the power supply / power outlet) I expect
you to do not be desperate try it if not strong faith. But if
cable we attach a lamp (automatic will happen energy
transfer from electrical energy to light).

MOTHERBOARD CIRCUIT SYSTEM


Power supply is a device that is supplying electrical energy to one or more
electrical loads. It is most often used for devices that convert one form of
electrical energy to another energy. The function of power supply is to
control the output voltage at a certain value and make it constant.

Power supply can be implemented as a discrete, stand-alone or as integral


device designed to load. Laptop motherboard use low voltage DC. Most
laptop motherboard has a power supply that is packed in the integration
circuit called (PU). This chip that regulates the distribution of the supply
voltage to all the components needed. Beside the integrated chip, power
supply also has a discrete component such as a diode rectifier, a capacitor as
a voltage stabilizer and an inductor as supporting integrated circuits and some
other power support. Power supply knowledge covers basic fundamentals of
electronics, integrated circuit workings and components, functions and how
to measure it, and how to understand the data sheet.

POWER SUPPLY SWICTHING (SMPS)


Below the description which are very easy to understand.
Basically, the conventional power supply is
a power supply that working linearly (continue),
it means that the output voltage continuously
into the load. I will not discuss lowering circuit
voltage (step-down), rectifier or filter and so
on, because here we are talking about the
principle or the workings of power supply in
general.
Technobook.net

In the image, we can see the loads (eg lights)


are connected to voltage source (eg batteries),
certainly will stay light on during the
battery power is still there and the circuit
cable is not disconnected. The current
magnitude that flows on the wire depending
on how large the load resistance, smaller the
load resistance, greater the current flows. If
the current overly large flows and occurs
continuously can resulting in hot and
burning wires. Therefore required cable sizes
that correspond to the value load. So
conventional power supply is like a variable
resistor in which the resistance value can
vary according to the weights. The profits
using the conventional power supply is
simplicity in the design, and the
disadvantage is inefficient, because the flow
continuously flowing to the load.

The Power supply switching is actually a


conventional power supply that was given
switch, see picture:

In the picture looks a "switch” between source


voltage and load. What happens if the switch
on press? Of course, the current will flow to
the load, if the load is a lamp then surely the
light goes on. And what happens if the switch
is off?Of course, the lights will goes off. Well,
what happens if you press and release the
switch in fast- eg 10 times within 1 second?
Then the lights will blink 10 times per second
according to
Technobook.net

the the amount of pressure on the


switch. For example, If you hit 1000
times in 1 second then the light will
blink 1000 times per second, but this
time the lights flicker no longer visible
to our eyes. So that the lights "as if"
life continues.
This is the basis of the technique of
switching power supply. In practice,
"switch" will be disconnected and
connected a number of 50.000 times
per second (50kHz) or more
(depending on model) and of course
who does breaker or connecting it is
not you, but an electronic circuit that is
specifically designed.

So what the benefits of the system


like this?
By creating a system like this, current
flowing to the load is no longer
constant, but has a pause although a bit
(in the order of milliseconds) but
extremely helpful to reduce the heat on
the wire line and a voltage source. So
that the wire size and Another
components can be reduced and
automatically this makes the system
becomes cheaper overall.
When the switch disconnected even
briefly, is there an impact on the load?
It’s okay if the load of a lamp, what if
the load is an electronic circuit that
absolutely should not be disconnected
from the power supply?
Good question, if the load is a series
electronics then it cannot be tolerated,
Technobook.net

for it requires additional components,


see the following picture bellow side
here:

In the picture look a coil (inductor) and


the capacitor which are added in the
circuit. The function of the inductor
and This capacitor is to store the
current when the switch Connected and
release it is load when the switch
detached, in this way a current
constantly flow into the load so the
problem is resolved.

As I know, if a coil or inductor is


traversed by a DC voltage that is
intermittently will cause of AC
voltage arise which can cause
damage to the circuit, how to solve
it?

You are absolutely right, therefore, the


circuit should be perfected by adding a
diode, see image left side :

Diode serves to remove the AC voltage


arising from the inductor when the
switch is "open", in practice this diode
is plugged in the circuit and embedded
directly in the switching MOSFET.
For switch, the switch that used in
switching power supply it's not the
switch "manual" as above, but in the
form of an ordinary transistor or mosfet
that is designed specifically and
connects the control circuit
Technobook.net

(controller). The series of controller


can be a series of usual oscillator and
also be a specially-designed IC for the
purpose of switching.

Controller circuit serves to control


switching is based on feedback
received from the load. It means a
heavy load controller will spur the
switch for longer working and vice
versa.
What are the negative effects of this
switching power supply system?
There is a plus of course there is minus,
one of them is the high noise that
making it less suitable for use in the
circuit audio system - HIFI (if you want
to use it, you must use a filter which is
really good) and its design is
complicated. Fortunately now there are
IC manufacturers that make IC
switching so hassle the circuit can be
overcome.

In this section, the principle is the same


as the previous SMPS circuit basis that
has been written by the founder. A
circuit that is built with switching
power supply system, but the
difference can be seen in the use of
mosfet N-CHANNEL that used for
automatic switch and generating
resources for the mosfet itself (needs
ampere).

Because, if we look at mosfet symbol


in which there is a diode that serves as
Technobook.net

a rectifier (components in form of IC


and in it there are circuit). This thing
aims to narrow the scope of the circuit.
So globally the mosfet serves as a
switch automatic and lowering the
voltage.
1. Coupling (an energy transfer
technique to another energy. On
circuit switching is the transfer of the
power supply to the load).
2. FB (feedback received from the
load). This means that if a heavy load
controller will spur a switch for
longer work and vice versa. FB taken
from the resistor track voltage
divider.
3. Decoupling is a technique for
eliminating or maximize and filter
the effect of coupling before entering
the semiconductor components (IC
and chipset)

Illustration a signals and the series of


systems:
We need to know there are many types
of signal waves in the electronic world.
AC waveform has the properties of
alternating current, so that the graph up
and down.
While the surge voltage DC with this
kind (direct current), the type of waves
straight or flat. And a square wave
digital wave type I and 0 (Living
Dead).

The effect of switching on output


MOSFETs will cause the AC signal,
Technobook.net

then the AC signals will be blocked by


the inductor coupling.
Inductor coil is made of structures that
are susceptible to interference
electromagnetic so occasionally still
generate a pulse signal ac, so it needs
an additional filter, in this case is a
capacitor for rectifying a DC signal or
eliminate the coupling effects.

LDO POWER ( LINEAR DRIVER


OUTPUT )

It’s not too complicated to understand


this circuit, because there are only
input and output in the circuit, whereas
we need to understand is the ways of
working of IC itself. So we must open
the data sheet of the IC. Basically LDO
same as any regulator switching, you
can set the output voltage as needed.
LDO circuit load much in use in the
latest system motherboard.

Application:
A rickshaw could move if someone were to pedaling the pedal. Input in this
regard are the engine /power/the person that propelling pedal. While the
system is electronic circuit, in this case is a rickshaw that serves to deliver
passengers to a destination in accordance with the functions and how it
works, and the passenger is the load, and the output is the payment.
If there is no stimulus, the system will not work. If there were only
passengers and the rickshaw certainly not running because there is no driver.
If there is a driver but a rickshaw and the system is broken, definitely will not
work and certainly will not anyone want hitchhike. And that is the purpose of
the system - input – output.
Each system (IC) requires power so that it can work well. However, input in
this system is the power supply and each system has its own power supply.
Then who control, manage and steer it? In the world of engineering called
microcontroller and microprocessor.

It takes an adapter to turn on the laptop


Illustration diagram 2

It’s the same thing


as a laptop that requires an adapter. It takes the power supply to turn on the
processor (in the schematic diagram of part of the power supply to the
processor, called the VCC core). Not just in the processor, other hardware
components also have its power supply, such as RAM and chipset. Even a
controller IC also requires a power supply so that it could be work.
90% power supply used in laptop motherboard is the system SMPS (power
supply system switching) & LD0, while the rest are digital circuits such as
sensors. Components in used laptops only slightly, but still using the system
circuit electronics that very complicated and we will discuss the importance

VOLTAGE ON MOTHERBOARD
The voltage on the motherboard we divide into two parts, there are the ALW
voltage and the VS voltage. ALW voltage is a standby voltage or voltages
that must exist before the on/off button on tap. And the VS voltage is the
voltage that will come out after switch on/off in the press
Chart Simulation
Technobook.net

My experience in the field, a lot of


people who fail to learn the
execution of the motherboard. When
they are teaching only explain on
mode stage in the motherboard, this
will lead over material. So we
simplify the stage power on the
motherboard is a term part of power
according to its function. There is a
process of timing here.

Conclusion:
S5 is a type of voltage In standby
mode, which we already know is
"required voltage". While S3 is a
dual mode depending on a command
signal (standby restart and
shutdown). To make it easier to
understand we simplify it, S3 is the
voltage that belongs to the type of
VS voltage or the voltage which
came out after the switch on
including the stage S5. S3 will be
troubled by the case of power drop,
generally occurs due to power spike
or short component in the VS path.
This problem known when the power
has been switched, when VS is
active and prepared to contribute
each VS voltage.
Feedback/reverse flow of the short
component in an either or in the path
of VS make the system fail and
return to VALW mode, this
symptom is called a power drop.

Conclusion:
Technobook.net

The voltage in a motherboard


divided into 2 voltage, standby
voltage and VS voltage. The voltage
is in the range of motherboards that
integrated and managed.

PROTECTION CIRCUIT: Circuit that


serves to protect if there is a short in

means it will not pass 19V, although
without orders he had been working.

the battery. In this circuit there are
several commands in the form of the
output voltage. but we do not discuss

MEASUREMENT WITH SCHEMATIC


1. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
The image is a measurement
technique input and output
voltages. The way it works is free
red probe affixed anywhere on
the ground. And the red probe in
the sequence of NO one then to
NO two till to components on the
input lines if the component is
contained much in input circuit
prior to the IC. If in the No.1
there is voltage and the No. 2
lane after diode no voltage can be
sure it was broken and so on.
Later on output lines, if IC serves
as the lowering of the voltage,
then input 19V will be turned 5V
on the output and the value on the
multimeter certainly changed 5V
and if not appropriate with the
recommendation schematic, it
means the IC in damaged.

6. APPLICATIONS OF MEASUREMENT SCHEMATIC

If the material above already you mastered maybe now you'll write a
simulation of material on this column.

SCHEMATIC ANALYSIS
Analytics will we get if we know the function of components, component
properties, and we are more proficient is to understand the characteristics of
the circuit in which at this point is usually someone will be able to add or
remove components even modify the system. At this point in addition to the
characteristic and function of components of electro engineering calculations
already mastered.
The function of schematic diagram in a simple way
1. To see the type and code components on the motherboard if there is a
burnt components or missing.
2. To see the relationship or lines on a motherboard if there is a path
Technobook.net

breaking causing the communication component.


3. To view the input and output voltage.
4. To modify the system circuit if there is difficulty in finding replacement
parts.
5. To see schematic revisions.

We learn a simple analysis of the image above and the conclusion is:
1. There is a power jack, two wires and the lamp.
Case:
Lamp will not light up if one of the cables broke. The lamp will not turn on if
the lamp itself in damaged lamp will not light up if there is no electricity on.
Case study:
Check the voltage, check its cable, and check the lights. In the image above,
I will take your brain 10x faster please apply to laptop circuit and the
damaged laptop. Use your imagination and creativity of your brain, then learn
all of these books.
Power Supply
Remember the lighting circuits? How
the voltage move from the input to
the output. And the image is a simple
circuit system step down circuit
(voltage lowering), from 12V to + 5V
2A where that regulate this system is
IC 78505. You already know
component function? Okay we will
explaining:
12V voltage entered into a diode that
serves as a safety/Backflow preventer
and the voltage before getting into IC
filtered by C1 220u and if added 1
resistors here will be great as a safety
before the incoming voltage to a step-
Technobook.net

down IC IN.
After the voltage come to the IN, the
voltage will be processed and out
from the OUT pin wherein before the
voltage entering IC, this value is still
12V but after passing this IC because
its function as step down regulator
will turn into + 5V 2A. IC and the
circuit will work if it is connected to
ground. I hope you already know if
the voltage of 5V at the output is not
found then which components you
must measure and execution (this is
called as a circuit analysis
techniques).
generally diode should we apply for
voltage direction but beware on the
diode principle, there are forward and
reverse voltage (More specifically
understood diode component) or to
determine the input and output, we
have relied on Vin IC input / IN,
which means input and V out, out
which means output.

each brand as well as a book. But there is always a message behind each
design cover that is made as we see in the picture.

1. Code Board (code contained in the schematic and the laptop


motherboard)
2. Data revisions schematic, there will always be a revision of each

ü There is additional hardware / components.
ü There is a release component and system repair circuit and this
depends on the results of survey revision teams in the field.
ü Upgraded product, like acer 4750 to 4750G.

an organizational structure, for example like charts at school.
Schematic is always identical to the code, diagrams and charts. but no
detailed explanation about the purpose of the code, diagrams and charts
in attach. So our job seeking information from the technical terms of
other sources or to learn more about electronics. We learned it slowly
with common languages and applications to any that we see, hear and
meet.

2. The System of Input and Output Signals Process


System input and output signal process is a diagram that is most easy to
understand and often become a reference mid-level laptop repair process,
because it can seen kind of signal inputs and outputs for the measurement
process:

The system of input and output signals process


PPower Sequence Description Sequence Diagram
INPUT from DC battery (circuit
name that the explanation is on
page 43) emit signals output called
B+, where the value of the B+
voltage is 19V. 18.5V / 20v (rated
voltage depending on the brand of
laptop). B+ output from DC
battery turns into an input when it
entered into a series of switches
(protection circuit) and circuit
switching issued output called
DCBATOUT.

INPUT from AC Adapter in (name


of the series circuit) the
description on the page 44 issued a
signal output called + DC_IN.
DC_IN output of AC Adapter in
turn be input when entering the
switching circuit (switching is the
form of the system can be SMPS -
Technobook.net

LDO and the others. However, in


this case is the protection circuit)
and circuit switch issued the output
signal called AD +. Then, becomes
the input charger IC and it issue a
signal output called DCBATOUT
and ACOK.

The input and output may be a


reference measurement of us in the
field to determine whether a
component is broken or not, if
there is an input and there is no
output can be sure 70% of the
components problematic.

Conclusion:

One set into the other circuit depending on its function, the name of output
signal will change its name when it became an incoming signal to other
circuits in a single integral. Voltage walk from input to output and will
change its value depending on the function of the circuit itself. Description
direction of the arrow is a description of a voltage trip. Basically the circuit
on the motherboard separately with different functions. For example
(charging circuits - circuit 3V and 5V - circuit core VCC). Then put together
and communicate with each other in the form of a motherboard.

touch, read, and hear. The voltage cannot be seen with the naked eye, but do
testing with tools (gauges).

If we are still confused, other


examples: human limbs/robot (hands,
feets and eyes). If the hand is sick, a
doctor will examine the parts of the hand. Hands can move because of the
orders from the brain, the brain sends a command or signal through the
nerves to the hands. What happens if the nerve is broken or not functioning?
As in the structure of the system in the electronic circuit, chip in such a
complicated program to be set up, manage and run according to its function.
In the electronic world is called microcontroller and microprocessor.

DCBATOUT output signal from


the switch and charger (Selector)
will be input when entered into
the IC TPS51125. And it
generates three output signals are
3d3V_S5 and 5V_s5. And
3D3V_AUX_S5.

3D3V_AUX_s5 be input to the


switch and output the last
3D3V_AUX_KBC than be input
to IC KBC NPCE985. It issued
several output signals and one of
them is S5_ENABLE that sending
signal command EN1 and EN2.
The TPS51125 function EN1 and
EN2 is a command signal that IC
TPS 51 125 issued 3d3V_S5 and
5V_s5 signal.

COMPONENTS AND SYSTEM IN SCOPE MOTHERBOARD AND


SCHEMATIC
The laptop motherboard circuit consists of several separate systems,
depending on the functions and each duties, then united in order to
communicate between systems with each other within the scope of the
system motherboard.
The position of the power supply, within
the scope of a separate PC from the
motherboard. The difference with the
laptop motherboard, power supply
united in a single scope. However, the
system and how to work in a PC or
laptop remains the same.

If the PC power supply is damaged what


could be improved?
This is what we will explained. First,
there are circuit and core components, if
the circuit or component was
problematic will cause the laptop the
total dead. Second, there are systems
and circuits if loose or damaged will not
lead to anything, do not die in total.
For example: if we take DVD, the
laptop still be alive, if the detachable
keyboard laptop will still be alive.
This time we will discuss the important
Technobook.net

parts, if the part is problematic laptop


will die.

If the hands and feet amputated people


could still be alive, if still be alive if the
brain or heart that amputees? Then if the
hand broken should the foot be
checked? That is false. You also do not
talk to a user who damaged hand but
said the damage is the heart. It's called a
lie.

CHARGER IC - DC JACK - BATTERY SOCKET

FUNCTION AND APPLICATION


At figure you can see the complexity of the schematic diagram. So if you
want to search motherboard in a laptop, then your brain will focus to shape of
processor. It also if you see a circuit, you will focusing on an input and output
a circuit or focusing at the problem you want solve. So, if you want to solve a
broken circuit at PIN 21 IC, you will focus on that circuit.
Technobook.net

In this page charger IC, there is an information about POWER JACK and
BATTERY. Circuit charger is a main gate power regulation sourced of
battery and adaptor. Even both of that, in the charging process a battery will
cooperate with SIO – BIOS AND SYSTEM OPERATION (in Windows).
Description function of IC there is datasheet document for each IC (please
read: how to read datasheet). Sometimes people confused how to find about
“where is the Power IC in a laptop?”, because IC charging 3V and 5V, VCC
core is an IC too. With the different function and ways is working, so where
is a correct IC power? In this page, I will explained with a simple description
about basic of that circuit.

DC Jack & Protection Circuit

Voltage from DC Jack with the


symbol code P11 that sourced from
adaptor entered into PC 85 and PC 84
are arranged in parallel which serves
as noose filter with the term voltage
VA then enter to PL6 and after
through PL6 it changed name to VA1.
PL6 function is temporary saving a
charge. If we add a fuse in this circuit
before the voltage entered to PL6
maybe will be good, but we see
another component diode after PL6 tat
protect and block reverse flow so a
problem adding fuse will be solved.
And other that, diode function for
eliminate AC voltage from inductor.
We try to make it simple, because the
basic about component can
determined for the analysis of the
circuit. Because lot of technician can
read schematic but lazy to know code
symbol or function component.
Conclusion of the figure is voltage
Technobook.net

name 19V (it depend on laptop


adaptor 19V-20v-18,5V, etc) will be
changed when entered a component or
circuit one and the other. Note V is
unit from Volt, W is watt and A is
ampere.
D/C# is command sign from EC from
page 27 about ZE7 schematic and you
can see there is a motherboard too.
Signal From EC will command P-
channel gate to open gate if there a
problem at circuit. This is called a
CIRCUIT PROTECTION and in
upper level will cooperate with
selector circuit.

Initial measure 19V

There is measure called backward


measurement. It simple, measurement
19V enough to PR only at part closed
to jack power. At other hand, it must
not jack power first then to PR,
because if PR have 19V then jack
power have a 19V too. It will saving
time because at VIN schematic will be
source input 19V to all system. If PR
don’t have voltage so VIN don’t have
voltage too. Then we can back war
measurement to jack power. You can
measurement too from PR to jack
power, or VCC to PR, or jack power
to VCC core too. It’s up to you.

Note: VIN is name voltage 19V at


ZE7 schematic. At other schematic
maybe different name.
Technobook.net

Selector Circuit

Circuit works as a control or signaling


technique as the detector whether the
voltage comes from an adapter or a
battery or even both of them for the
charging system. In another schematic
we will find a comparison system as
in schematic dell mini 10, wherein the
detector circuit uses IC LM and the
like. This circuit is very appropriate to
be used, because it efficiently aka
cheap. CSIP1 and CSOP1 is the signal
that important in contributing this
circuit. To streamline our discussion,
directly on the case study :
In the field, we often find cases cannot
use batteries or vice versa. We are
fairly based on the scope of this
circuit, between PQ38 and PQ41 and
a circuit that passes through and
passed or replace all the components
on the circuit charger IC. First I was
doing that way. Between the theory
and the field was a little different, plus
also do not know and understand the
schematic, just understand the section
circuit charger, I immediately did it.
The result, the laptop is dead, the
motherboard is leak because it is often
exposed to the blower, but with
frequent practice we learn cause and
effect. You should check to the
detector system then analyzes and
read the datasheet. the more often you
read the datasheet and schematic, later
Technobook.net

if you find the same brand with the


same problem or different brands with
the use of the same IC you already
know.

CHARGER SYSTEM

System charging: there are two


important components in the charging
system, namely EC and IC charging
itself. EC will cooperate with the IC
charging for detection and battery
charging systems which are crucial, in
this case also step-down N-channel
MOSFET in the charging circuit, the
N-channel is often problematic.
See at the picture upward. In addition
to EC and IC, charging inputs sourced
from always voltage 3V (3V and 5V
systems) play an active role as EC
mover (AC in). This is the signal that
will be a condition of employment EC
command voltage driving GPIO port,
and then after the EC active always
systems 3V and 5V result a voltage.
And this process of mutual integrating
throughout each other up to the VS
system (power switch).

System regulator power switching


(open material system switching
regulator)

This system is often used in all circuit


generator/ drive (CHARGING – 3V
Technobook.net

and 5V - VCC CORE - CORE GFX -


GPU CORE - V RAM).

Case study charging circuit:

1. Battery consider
A problem only in the battery just
replace the batteries.
2. Battery not detect
Replace the batteries first. Check the
charging, frequent problems are
charging IC in itself "but not
necessarily". First, you should check
the pin and others like that already
in write.
3. Plug-in not charging
Replace the batteries first. Check the
charging, frequent problems are
charging IC in itself "but not
necessarily". First, you should check
the pin and others like that already
in write.
3V & 5VSystem
If we want to find the layout of 3V and
5V systems in the schematic diagram on
the first page there is a schematic
diagram of the system description
5V/3V PCU, then open the pages. In
this case there is on page 30. As an
Technobook.net

example of the picture which was given


the yellow sign.
3V and 5V circuit system is included
into the system standby and dual mode.
System standby is the system input and
output circuits will be active although
the SW button not yet in press. There
are two system standby circuit in the
motherboard, they are charging circuit
and circuit 3V and 5V. On page 3V / 5V
PCU like the picture on the side, clearly
visible information in a page of the type
of IC being used and the circuit
contained in the page and project
description / name circuit. In this page
noticed the smaller box mark, it is the
system 3V and 5V dual mode whereby
this circuit will work after on-off button
on the press after receiving the
command signal from the EC (S5 0N
output of this circuit for the power needs
usb - hdd – dvd and Etc. See power
sequence below:

We simplify it. Basically, the


motherboard voltage system is divided
Technobook.net

into two, namely the required voltage


and the voltage VS in the sense that
there are circuit and voltage before and
after SW. in technical terms this is
called the S5 - S3 - S0. To the side is a
power sequence.

3V and 5V circuit is a circuit that serves


to lower the voltage (step-down) of 19V
becomes 3V and 5V, and if we look, the
regulator system switching participate
actively towards 3V and 5V circuit.

IC work requirements

Brain of a digital circuit is IC itself.


Digital circuit working condition is the
presence of a digital input and in this
case the voltage command. Likewise,
the output will be sent a confirmation
signal (communications).
There are three working voltage in the
circuit 3V and 5V sourced from
charging circuit (VIN) that the value of
the voltage is 19V. For checking IC that
we need to measure is the working
voltage at IC input section for passing
through a resistor. If the voltage does
not pass through the resistor then we
measure the recoil measurement
technique that is to the point before
passing through the resistor. Then we
find the voltage command and the image
on the right is (EN0), how can we know
Technobook.net

the voltage of the order?


Look at the picture, there is no other
input into the IC besides EN0. EN0
means Enable which means a command
to turn on. EN0 connected to PR with
reference schematic short, it means that
the resistor serves as a fuse, we can
measure the forward or reverse such a
technique that has been described
previously. If the input voltage
condition exists, this circuit can generate
the appropriate output function.
Ground also play an important role, with
no ground circuit will not work. So the
conclusion is there must be input digital
circuit working voltage, voltage and
ground commands. Then see a
confirmation signal that is marked with
a green box (because all systems
integrating throughout the circuit with
the other circuits, then the signal
confirmation needed for information to
the central controller / EC).

The picture beside is an example of the


5V only but you can also apply to 3V.
19V go to two bipolar capacitor attached
series, then go into MOSFET N-chanel
attached parallel. The function of the
parallel mosfet is to increase power of
the mosfet itself. 5V will move towards
the circuit that requires the voltage eg
HDD. Then need a huge ampere that the
function of addition mosfet as a switch
and step-down, IC also plays an
Technobook.net

important role in this regard.

The value in a schematic voltage is specified on the

As input to VDD PIN - HOLD - WP AND CE are
3.3V, so we just matched the value voltage contained

Bios work requirements are:


1. has a power supply input of 3.3V
2. Clock of 3.3V (for clock itself not only measure
the voltage absolute, but must be measured also the
value of the clock and the waves)
3. Signal SO voltage of approximately 1,4V.
