Switch 10E board issue?
Hello everyone.
I can't get my switch 10E (SN: NTMX1AA007536DE4857206) to give me any feed back other than lights.
Symptoms:
1) Absolutely no feedback (Screen, lights, sounds) if not plugged in.
2) When plugged in via Micro USB port, I get a solid orange light.
3) When plugged in via Micro USB port, I can push the power button and now I get a alternating blue (2 second) and orange light (6 second).
Troubleshooting I've tried:
1) Pulled out power, disconnected battery from board. Held power button for 20 secs to discharge.
2) Confirmed battery is holding and taking a charge with multi-meter.
3) Plugged in Micro HDMI and attached to TV.
4) Pushed and held power and volume up simultaneous at boot for 10 seconds.
5) Unplugged and reconnected ribbon cables.
6) ( Not troubleshooting) I know the power button works because it reacts (with blue light) when pushed.
7) If the charger (micro USB cable) is removed while lights are on, all lights stop and do not re-illuminate.
8) Also, the only way to stop the blue and orange alternating light is to disconnect the battery. If I unplug the power cord, and reattach the lights will continue after.
I am at the point where I'm pretty sure the video hardware is shot. It drives me crazy that I get no sound though. And even more than that, I can't find any information on what the alternating lights indicate.
Please someone put me out of my misery. I'd like to revive the machine if possible. I fully understand this laptop is not a power house and I'm ok if the answer is, it's dead. I would like a confirmation on that. If there is any other information you need, please give me a shout.
Thanks,
love
