Unfortunatly I don't have a BGA rework station available to me.

Yes, +3VALW is present before and after power button, 13 ohms to ground, measured from cap CM11. +1VALW is never present, measured from JP2.

Hmm... this is a tricky one, the PCH does still get warm when turned on from power button so the PCH is turning on???

Voltage tests done after power button press. Pin 67 - 3.3V Pin 124 - 3.32V Pin 125 - 3.3V Pin 37 - 3.3V Pin 100 - 0.6mV Pin 106 - 6.0mV Pin 107 - 0.6mV Pin 110 - 3.2V Pin 115 - 3.3V +3V_PCH_DSW - 3.3V AC_PRESENT - 3.3V No change at PBTN_OUT# pin 106 when ON/OFFBTN# in triggered...

Awesome, I never knew there were board views for Alienware boards, thanks. :) RH515 - 3.3V RH83 - 3.033V RH84 - 3.019V

PCH_DPWROK - 3.32V PCH_BATLOW# - not sure where to test this one. PM_SLP_SUS# - 0.418V

I tired both posted in our thread, I tried KBC.bin first, then when it didn't work I tried ENE_17r3.bin, same results.

New KBC installed and programed but there is no difference in the way it behaves.

no test card atm. ill try resolder the affected slot and report back. schamatics is to large, its only 1.3mb

i recently purchased a this msi ge62 laptop as a dead laptop for a good price. the laptop would post, just boots to a black screen and hangs, it did seem to bootloop, but stayed on black screen. upon inspection i found it would work with one ram in, upon further inspection i found it was the...

hello again. Waiting on your response. If you could please point me in the right direction to get the screw flex for main battery to mboard replaced. I've checked ebay and a few other places. or is it OK to just solder a high amp/volt wire to the positive and leave it like that?

OK, so update... I got anew flex for battery data, I noticed the battery screw metal flex had a bad crease. I took it off and soldered the positive and negetive to the main board. the system sees the battery now. where can I buy a new battery screw metal flex from, what is it called? eBay...

it works fine on power, just not battery.

what makes you say that? why can't i just reflow it? Sorry for giving wrong voltages on 3v3_g3h. it was late the night before and I sent the massage in the morning without thinking. it was the correct voltage on 3v3_g3h. if it helps... When battery connected and I open the lid, it turns it...
