I have 2 AMD AM2 motherboards that have been confusing the heck out of me. In both something is shorted in the ram section. I checked out the mosfets and the caps but short remains.
One is a TA790GXB... capacitor went out near the ram and I replaced it. Worked fine for a little bit and then poof. Cap appears fine, I changed a few others but no dice. Also changed 2 mosfets but issue remains.
The other is a M2RS485-BTX.. no obvious caps but short throughout 5v. Caps in almost the same spot as the TA790 are shorted as are mosfets in the same section but the component thats actually out is somewhere else. I've pulled most of them off the board and they tested good.
Anyone else have ram issues on AMD AM2 stuff? What did it end up being?
