Click on the IC. The boardview will show pin numbers. Click on the VIN pin (pin 12, for example). The software will highlight every connected node.

If standby voltages are present, use the boardview to locate the EC chip. Look up the specific pin numbers for critical signals like EC_RST# (Reset), LID_SW# (Lid Switch), and PM_PWRBTN# (Power Button Trigger). Use an oscilloscope or multimeter to verify if the EC detects the physical button press and relays it to the Main Chipset/PCH. Pro-Tips for Successful Component-Level Repair

Locate the first and second input MOSFETs near the battery/DC jack connector using the boardview. Measure resistance to ground on the current sensing resistor (usually a large, low-resistance resistor marked with "R010" or similar). If the multimeter registers close to 0 Ohms, you have a short circuit on the main rail. 2. Isolate the Short via Voltage Injection
