This book is made for laptop technicians, either beginners or who are
learning to repair laptops and want to learn more about everything related to
laptop repair.
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

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.

In general, the function of datasheet
are :
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).

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.
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

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.

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.
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

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

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.

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.
Capacitors have different shapes and series. One of them is like the picture on

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.
5. Diode

D
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

the material, because initial requirement of reading schematic is memorize

Schottky Diode D
(SCR) PD: Power Diode
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.

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.

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.

display multimeter).
2. Then we reverse the probe position, the red one on the right PIN and the one

IC PU
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

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

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

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.

has been switched, when VS is
active and prepared to contribute
each VS voltage.

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.
Selector Circuit
CHARGER SYSTEM
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

IC work requirements
There are several system circuit in this circuit, including parallel – step
up - switching regulator and controller output - a confirmation signal -
trigger gate and etc. The material directly to the weakness of the system
on the characteristics of the previous case studies that have not been
described handling techniques. This technique you may later apply to all
system circuit switching:
The case studies 3V and 5V standby system.
1. Output problem (3V and 5V) not out.
2. Output Voltage only 5V or 3V
3. The output voltage drop example of which should be 1,7v be 3V
All the above problems can be solved by short circuit detector output
Technique with mutimeter digital on the buzzer scale, if there is not a
sound then can be sure no short circuit occurs either another circuit that
requires 3V and 5V or even a short circuit on the circuit of stepdown
itself

course even data only, here

serves to instruct the work.

3. SCK = CLOCK INPUT ( 3,3V )
4. SI and SO = POS SIGNAL ( 1. 4V -/+ )
MEASUREMENT BIOS IC
The value in a schematic voltage is specified on the
circuit schematic itself. Example :
As input to VDD PIN - HOLD - WP AND CE are
3.3V, so we just matched the value voltage contained
in the schematic and multimeter.
