Trying to repair a Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H. System not post. Upon shorting power pin CPU fan will spin for a few seconds, spin down, then back up, back down, etc, in a continuous loop. CPU and RAM have been verified good in another board. Also tried removing main bios chip and reprogramming with eeprom programmer, no change. Maybe bad mosfet? Any suggestions, troubleshooting tips?

Re: Z97X-UD3H Power Cycling
check the bios signals, it may be a bad resistor or capacitor between the bios and kbc/bridge i.c.
the pulsing usually means no or bad bios.
i see 2, how do you select the one to use?? -
Re: Z97X-UD3H Power Cycling
I flashed the M_BIOS which should be the first to initialize, B_BIOS is the backup. No switch on this board to jump between the two, it apparently automatically switches over. I guess I could also flash the B_BIOS and see if it makes a difference.Comment

Re: Z97X-UD3H Power Cycling
what are you flashing it with, a full backup made by removing the chip??
because in my unfortunate experience there are a lot of "backups" online that dont work because they either got dumped from dos/windows, or they are factory masters or decompressed upgrades.Comment

Flashed it with ROM extracted from BIOS update downloaded from MSI.Comment

Hi all
There's two other threads about this monitor with seemingly the same problem. The problem was resolved in one case by replacing the entire PSU board and in the second one by replacing an unknown IC.

The first one has pictures of the pcbs and I noticed that there's one IC and assorted caps not populated on mine (but the PCB itself looks identical) so I thought that'd warrant a new thread.
It's my dad's old monitor. He... -
Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi all!
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅
I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

I am seeking guidance on an Acer Spin 1 SP111-33 that does not turn on when pressing the power button.
Below are the observations and troubleshooting steps I have taken so far: Observations and Tests:- Verified that all critical voltages are present:
- 3.3V and 5V are always present if DC is plugged.
- 1.8V on the BIOS chip is present.
- Checked the power button functionality:
- When pressed, the voltage drops to 0V, indicating the button is functional.
- Inspected the flex cable connecting the USB, audio, and power button to JUB1:
- Confirmed connectivity is intact, ruling out issues

Hello everybody, I could use some help on this one... It's got me guessing...
I took pictures of all the boards and the pin out of the connector on the power supply that goes to the main board... I measured all the pins in relation to chassis ground, here are the result.
(B13v)1. 12.7 volts cycling (Vamp) 2. 12.7 volts cycling
(B13v)3. 12.7 volts cycling (PWM5) 4. 1.0 volts cycling
(OD_LE)5. 2.8 volts cycling (PWM4) 6. 0.9 volts cycling
(OD_ON)7. 2.8 volts cycling (PWM3) 8. 0.9 volts cycling
9. ground (PWM2) 10. 0.9 volts cycling...
