Fault 3: Burning Smell from the USB-C Port

Place C_IN and C_OUT

| Guideline | Reason | |-----------|--------| | within 1 mm of the respective pins | Minimises loop inductance, improves transient response | | Use a solid ground plane under the regulator | Reduces ground impedance, aids thermal spreading | | Route the feedback trace as a short, wide trace, shielded from noisy signals | Prevents parasitic capacitance that can destabilise the loop | | Separate analog and digital grounds if the regulator powers mixed‑signal circuitry | Avoids coupling of digital switching noise | | Thermal via array (≥ 4 × 0.3 mm) directly beneath the IC | Improves heat dissipation for high‑power operation |

If the laptop has a built-in battery and won't respond to the power button, try disconnecting the main and CMOS batteries and shorting the CMOS pins to reset a frozen EC or BIOS. 3. Essential Files for Repair
