The schematic for REV 1.0 is different from REV 2.0 . Using the wrong revision will lead to wrong component locations. la-d401p schematic
Always measure resistance to ground on major coils before applying power to a damaged board. Conclusion
For gaming laptops like the Legion Y520, the GPU (GTX 1050/1060) is a high-failure area. The schematic provides the voltage requirements for the GPU core (VCC_GFXCORE) and memory (VCC_GDDR). If these rails are missing, the schematic helps you trace the controller (e.g., NCP81215) back to its enable pin. Always measure resistance to ground on major coils
The Richtek or similar PWM controller creates the standby voltages (+3VLP, +5VLP) needed for the Embedded Controller (EC/KBC) and BIOS to wake the system.
| Parameter | Typical Value | Remarks | |-----------|----------------|---------| | | 12 V – 24 V | Wider range improves flexibility | | Output Voltage (Diode Forward) | 2.5 V – 4.5 V (adjustable via R5‑R6) | Set according to diode datasheet | | Maximum Diode Current | 3 A – 5 A (depends on R4) | Keep within diode’s rated current | | Efficiency | 70 % – 85 % (boost + regulation) | Measured at 24 V input, 4 A output | | Thermal Shutdown Threshold | ~150 °C | Configurable by TMP1 position | | Stand‑by Power Consumption | < 100 mW | With driver disabled | If these rails are missing, the schematic helps
