Amilo Pi 3525 is not starting

Beitragvon seaking » 05.11.2013 16:38

Hi,

Is there any one who has faced the problem that comp won't start. The power led blink once or twice and nothing more. It will stay like this until power is reset. Fan is not started neither the disk. I looked trough forum and I did not find anything what would help to resolve the problem. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance.

Most likely a dead GPU, or motherboard. You could try unplugging the power adapter, removing the battery
and pressing the on-button for 30 seconds to perform a hard reset, but I doubt that this will make any difference.
I suspect that a critical hardware component has permanently failed, and is thus preventing the laptop from booting.

Hi,

Thanks. I did it several times with no success. Could it be that a broken USB port causing somehow short circuit preventing it? Strange thing is that battery being charged but could not be fully charged ie. the blue led is lit after 20 hours. Don't know if notebook has power good signal as desktop since fan is not even move for a fraction of second.

Well, can you make out any visible damage to the USB ports?
I once had a seemingly broken desktop on my hands where a broken USB port prevented the
computer from turning on altogether, because of the fault current protection of the power supply.
After functionally disabling the port, the computer turned on again.
But your case seems different.

Hi,

yes, one off side USB ports has broken plastic part in the middle of the port which is preventing to insert cable connector up side down. I suspect that it somehow caused short circuit on 5 V branch. I hope, very much that is the root cause for the problem.

HI,
Short update, i have played a bit with the broken USB port and found a bent "pin" on it, put it a bit up and now power stays for a while and I can hear disk is spinning but still not booting. and blank screen. Anyone has service manual perhaps :?: because I would like to disconnect USB port if it is on connector.Thanks.
