Hi all,
I got a beautiful motherboard disassembled from an Asus G751JY. At the beginning it worked well so, I thought about using it as a desktop assembly.
For this purpose I tried to connect a couple of 3 pin low power fans to the 4 pin fan connectors with some mosfets.
It was working well until it stopped working. After some testing I figured out there was a short in a 3V regulator. I changed the mosfets and now it is gone, but the motherboard still does not work.
I have been testing more voltages and noticed all the regulators are off. Then I checked the SIO power (ITE chip?) and is off too, but I cannot find the main regulator in the boardview. You can find it attached.
I do not think the fans caused the issue but I prefer to tell you just in case they did.
Any help is appreciated,
thanks.
