Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fa1000 (9P833AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Problem Diagnosis – HP Victus 15 (DAG3PAMB8D0 REV D)
The failure is in a single-phase buck converter circuit near the inductor labeled PL 1R0. The dual MOSFET (PQ) in a 3×4 mm WSON package is severely burned and shorted, likely due to a VIN-to-VOUT short during battery reconnection. This caused high current flow, overheating, and carbonization of the PCB.

Surrounding components (MLCC capacitors and 0402 resistors) show signs of thermal damage, and the PWM controller (PU) may also be compromised.

The failed converter likely supplies a secondary rail (e.g., +1.05V or +1.8V) to the chipset. The board won't power on until the shorted MOSFET is removed, damaged traces cleaned, and all affected parts are checked and replaced.
