1.Acer 4738 Quanta ZQ9 Totally death .

Current usage 0008 amp .Open Quanta ZQ9 schematic on Page 37 to measure adp+ circuit need .This acer using 19V adp+ Voltage.
Checking PQ13 N channel source pin 5,6,7,8 19V present. PQ 14 N channel source same way to check PQ 13 .This both upper n channel
are power source for 3V and 5V_ALW need. RT 8206 (dc pwr sply) controlling trigger gate driver trough pin 4 gate PQ13 and PQ14 and
supply 3V_and 5V motherboard power need requirement to live..There is no trigger for both of 3V_5V system it mean there are no power for
VSB(voltage switch button) ,Bios ic, EC ,SB .this motherboard even can't switch .
Analyses goes to RT 8206B as a gate trigger .checking main power input for RT8206B trough VIN pin 5 (19V present) checking ONLDO
input pin 4 (9V present) it mean all power input available for this IC. checking LDO output Zero .in normal condition if VIN and ONLDO
presented LDO should get output for 5V.this voltage become VL signal enable to activated 5V_EN and 3V_EN .without this gate triger for
3V_5V system will not present .suspected this IC damage take off from circuit board before replace with a new one checking LDO output for
feedback...tes continuity 0000 ohm to the ground..using PSU set 5V started pushing current 1amp and found caps PC70 become warm and
checking continuity positive this PC70 cause a feedback and hold LDO output .replace caps and put back RT8206B .Testing both gate N
channel 3V dan 5V trigger available .checking PL13 5V_ALW present ,checking PL 14 3V_ALW present .Problem Solved.
