Hi, I'm repairing dead HP Pavilion 17-ab002nm. The motherboard is

intermittent, if I had disconnected the battery and waited for some time,
then plugging first the battery in, then AC adapter, the laptop would turn
ON, and stay ON on as long as it would have power. Now even this power
sequence doesn't work. After some measuring and testing, I came to
conclusion, that there is either problem with KBC or BIOS, after consulting
some experts, we came to the conclusion that it's KBC that's making
problems.

KBC is ITE brand IT8987E, 1604 - BXA version.

Anny suggestions of your experience, what could be the fault ?

Now I'm searching for a programmer for KBC and I found three different
ones.

1. Vertyanov ITE ENE IO Programmer - eBay: http://ebay.to/2E4omSc


2. ENIT SIO Programmer - Aliexpress: http://bit.ly/2nOoGxs

I would like to know if anyone has used them and what do they prefer or
recommend.

Thanks.

I did replace the chip however it did not fix the problem. It seems I get about
3.3V on both regulators instead of the expected 3.3V and 5V.The ICE chip
doesn't get hot anymore so I do believe it was indeed shorted internally. Not
sure what's causing this and I don't think I want to spend anymore time on
this. That being said if anyone know why this might be happening let me
know and I will test it out, it would be interesting to find out the fault.

Maybe it's the fact that the BIOS chip is not programmed?

I've checked both ACFET and BATFET in the charging circuit, and they are
Posts: 13
both fine...
Country:

1. So, for now, I've figured out, that SIO and BIOS are OK.
2. Computer boots normally, when both battery and DC plug are connected
in specific order. First, I need to plug the DC supply then Battery and
computer starts. When turned ON, I see that it draws about 1,4A from the
charger, then in the next second, it cuts away ACFET and powers the board
from Battery.
3. Charging circuit is charging battery ONLY when the computer is OFF.
When the computer is on and I try to reconnect DC power supply, again it
charges for a second, then stops.
4. I've checked Power adapter with my Dummy load and it easily provides
6A, voltage drops to around 18,5V, but this is expected due to cable length.
And schematic says that VIN is set to >15.2 (AC GOOD), so this cannot be
the problem).

I'm going to measure SRN/SRP vs. Iout (it should be 20x SRP-SRN). As
discovered I suspect, that there is a problem somewhere in the charging
circuit. Thank you all for your suggestions...

I will try to hold tongue at the right angle and hope it helps.

I have an update to make.

Posts: 13
Country:
When looking at 3VPCU (that's LDO of 3.3 V Regulator that supplies power
to the SMC, BIOS and some other components) voltage jumps from 3.3V to
4V and in some point, it was stuck on 4.2V. I'm still going further in though..
I've removed 3V PCU line (used Exacto knife and cut the trace from +3.3V
LDO - SY8208B) and on the system side of +3VPCU I get 1.3V From where

After cutting the line, LDO regulates normally and outputs 3.3V even when
loaded. So LDO is working properly.

So investigating further, I measured all pull-ups that are tied from +3VPCU
to system and ending removing them all, but still measuring this +3VPCU
rail gives me 1.3V from thin air. SMC has been removed and replaced with
working one, reprogrammed both BIOS and SMC (SIO IT8987E)... So I'm
pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with SMC and BIOS.

Then I've spotted something strange. When lowering the voltage on my


power supply from 19V to 0 the voltage on +3VPCU drops to.

At 19V input I get 1.347V, measuring short to ground 7,6mA


at 10V there is 1.089V; 4,25mA
5V input +3VPCU is at 0.921V; 2,13mA
2V ----> 0.656 V 0,79mA
1V ----> 0,484V 0,39mA

I suspect that something is supplying voltage from DC input to SMC


through one of the pins..

Anyone has some clues?

SIO is responsible for almost all voltage regulators (They call it Brains of

think that if the chip is not programmed the outcome will be the same... No
power no life.

You can check if the firmware of SIO and BIOS is OK. Find #RSMRST
signal and check it. If you have 3.3V on #RSMRST line than the BIOS and
SIO are most probably OK. If #RSMRST is not present then you most
probably have a problem either with SIO or SIO BIOS.

chip at all in this case. Would be interesting to check anyways.

Posts: 13 is power supply legit? whats on AD_ID?


Country: thats with battery disconnected?
lift/check Pr1001? might be charger chip after all

Yes, supply is OK, middle pin of the power supply connector is outputting
the same voltage as the + (inside rim) of the power supply. I've tried to
connect both original PSU and my LAB power supply and I get the same
results from both of them.

You guessed it !!! AD_ID is feeding the SIO with voltage from the output...
Zener is clamping voltage to 5.6V, but I measured current draw on
AD_TYPE line to the SMC (I've cut PCB trace between kathode of Zenner
and pin 67 on SMC) and it's about 6mA, so that's limit of the 2k resistor in
series with AD_TYPE line from the output.

When I connect the battery, there is still ~6mA's of current draw on


AD_TYPE, but the voltage on +3VPCU immediately drops from 4.2 V on
3.3V after pressing the power button when the battery is connected. The
laptop still only starts with the battery connected and the current draw is still
~6mA when the battery is connected.

PR1001 is 100k as it should be, and as I said I have removed all the
resistors on the +3PCU line and tested them, they are all fine.

I've changed the resistance of R5117 to 1k to increase current (i taught that


Zener is failing) but I think that this is not the case. With 860 ohms, Zener
stabilized on 6.5V but, I was thinking that this is too much current send to
SMC so I'm just rethinking my strategy

How and where is this current sinking through the SMC, that's my next
question?

measure resistance to ground on AD_TYPE


any caps between zener and ec on that line? also check C5111/C5112 just
in case, shorted cap could cause excessive current draw

> I've tried to connect both original PSU and my LAB power supply

wait, you put 19V lab supply on ID line? now I have no idea how it works,
but I have a strong suspicion ID should be severely current limited, and just
blasting 19V from unlimited source will fry something, maybe even EC input

also check ADAPTER_SEL_EC

Posts: 13 AD_ID should be ~ 1.4V under load in a working circuit ?


Country: is D5100 a dead short by any chance?

As you can see on Page 40 of datasheet, that AD_ID is 8 pin on DC_JACK


and it's supposed to have 19,5 V feed in. I've measured the resistance
between VDD and AD_ID pin on original PSU and it's 200k Ohms. My

DC_JACK converter (for lab power supply) has also 200k resistor inside, so
the current is limited on AD_ID line, and the AD_ID line is 19V in working
circuit under load. D5100 is not installed on the board, so it's open contacts.

>measure resistance to ground on AD_TYPE


>any caps between zener and ec on that line? also check C5111/C5112 just in case,
shorted cap could cause excessive current draw

Resistance on AD_TYPE is 14k


No there is no caps on that line. Both capacitors C5111/C5112 are OK..

>wait, you put 19V lab supply on ID line? now I have no idea how it works, but I have a
strong suspicion ID should be severely current limited, and just blasting 19V from
unlimited source will fry something, maybe even EC input

I have DC Jack converter, that has 200k Ohms resistor build in between
+VDD and AD_ID pin, so the pin is current limited..

> also check ADAPTER_SEL_EC

ADAPTER_SEL_EC line seems also OK.

I'm thinking that something may be related to the charging circuit, cuz
battery is charging when the computer is off, but when turned on, It stops
charging and draws power from the battery. Problem began when computer
was turned on, then it stopped charging while ON, then user had
plugged/unplugged adapter 5 times and for some time the problem was
solved. But after few months even that didn't help. Now the battery is
charging only when the computer is OFF...
