    I received laptop from my client with same problem. I thought I had no solution until I saw this video. AMAZING?? The power button is soldered on the motherboard. I tested it and found it well. I remembered to do as I do with the garage remotes controls. I washed the plate around the button with the KONTAK PCC spay and luckily it worked. Now it works perfectly!!
    In my experience with repairs, I know that, with apparent large anomalies, it may only need a small repair.
    Tanks for this channel and for the inspiration given. Be happy

    For the power button the other end of faults can happen too: Corrosion happened inside and the button doesn't register anymore. This can happen over time especially on power button as every time the 3.3V touches the ground, there's a tiny spark inside the power button and it oxidises just like that. Also fixed with alcohol, petrol or contact cleaner.
    For me I like to spray contact cleaner inside and mash the button 2 dozen times and see if it works before I take the hassle and disassemble the button

    Clever way of cleaning it in case you don't have a replacement. Usually if possible I change those buttons because they're not expensive and if you are having atypical one you can extract one without damaging from the donor. In case of power buttons I am the type that praises changing them instead of trying to fix them. Reason is - depending on the user but most of the cases of failed switches I had where buttons with diaphragm that either lost it's sping force or was almost completely flattened out so cleaning it would make small diffrence there. I can give you fan fact here - Dell, lenovo, asus. In some models you can encounter surface mounted switches without casing, only thin kapton alike cover glued on 4 sides to the plastic. Well I had one Y540 Legion. The kapton part fell off and diaphragm went flying on the MB which caused shorts and extensive damage. Sometimes easy things are obvious, sometimes they're tricky and sometimes they bring pain and suffering but... You never know.

    Hi Sorin. Your videos and knowledge sharing are very precious as usual. Yesterday, I exactly had the same issue with my MSI gaming laptop. When I press the power button, power light comes on, and then it goes off. Nothing on the screen. I started to sweat while pressing the power button again and again. Last time, I pressed the power button for about 30 seconds for resetting bios according to MSI instruction. Thank god! The power light blinked twice and it came back to life again. I will never have such a relief moment in my life again. What a bit of luck? I always watching every video that you post and they contribute a lot of knowledge and logics about IT products. Thanks for your warm explanation!

    Thanks for sharing this Sorin! I repaired a laptop with a similar failure once. It had liquid damage under the power button ribbon cable and some damage on the connector (power button board side). Cleaning the connector and replacing the ribbon cable solved the issue.
    With faults like this its always best to eliminate what you can buy unplugging things - LCD, USB boards, hard drive, etc..

    At 6:55 what senser is he talking about? Lead senser? I was having the problem being discussed here and removing the power button ribbon cable made my laptop able to turn on so I'm thinking replacing that senser and power button could fix that issue. So someone could please tell me what senser is that.

    Thanks Sorin. I like your videos very much. Especially your style. Actually I got interest in repairing laptops after watching your videos. I have a motherboard that develops bios, ram and core voltages after pressing the power button but then goes off and the power supplies. Main power rail remains present at the input. It tries to turn on two three times and then remains off. I have tried to turn on by shorting the pins to bypass the power button but no success. Any idea about the fault? Which area to check further please. Suggestions from the forum members are also welcome.

  • @oddity4650
    @oddity4650 2 роки тому

    If ram, fan, power cable all replaced but it still does this fault, what could it possibly be - so lonovo g580 2689 when I turned it on, it constantly beeps, the fan would be on, it turns on but not fully, it does not show any logo, when press the key to open the bios menu pop-ups it shows the menu, the mouse and keyboard works but when I click on the bios option in the menu any option, nothing happens, all that happens is the the bios menu pop-up disappears.
    When I say the bios menu pop-ups I mean the menu (startup menu) that has other options like - system information, system diagnostic,boot device option,bio setup, system recovery, network boot etc.
    When I click on any of them option nothing happens other than that (startup menu) pop-up disappears

  • @oddity4650
    @oddity4650 2 роки тому

    I think i have a different issue i tested the continuity on the buttons, they seem ok, but I think my issue is the power button port for the cable, because I also tested the continuity for the cable out of the 2 ports.
    All 4 pins or paths work, so it seems like that or some other component on the button bored, I say button bored because the lonovo g580 2689, has a separate bored that has 2 buttons on it , the power button, also another button, I found out opens the bios menu.
    When I say separate bored I mean not connected to the motherboard.
    I am not sure what happened as the buttons worked or atleast the bios menu button worked, all I remember is there was a spark when I pressed the power button, I think it is because the cable from that bored to the mother bored or ane the port/s are very loose so basically it shorted.
    Because I think after it shorted the buttons stopped working.
