Dell Latitude 5320: Shorted USB Power to data while probing

Thu, 22 May 2025 07:33:14 -0700

I was a bit stupid. I had a working dell 5320 Motherboard and wanted to test the USB C Voltage. So I put my Multimeter on the power pins, but by accident I shorted the 19v power pin to either the rx pin or the usb 2 lines. When I then plugged it in the led was blinking but there was no fan spinning and no screen output. After replugging everathing the whole motherboard is dead and it shows no sign of life, but I dont see any sign of burnt components

I dont know what to do. Is it worth trying to fix or is a cpu/ram damage possible?

I have a multimeter and can solder but I dont have a big knowledge on how to search for Problems.

I attached a photo, the selected pin is the power pin and I shorted either pin T8 to T9 or T9 to T10

and here is a link to a board view File

One thing changed: I only get 5v on the usb c port now, not the 19v from before

Dell Latitude 5320: How to adjust hinge?

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 08:06:59 -0700

Laptop hinge has been getting looser over the past 1.5 years. Have not attached anything to the back of the laptop such as to add weight to the display which hinges. Need a guide which shows what screws(if any) to tighten.
