    Faulty 1660ti

    Hi everyone, I have a nvidia 1660ti that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and make mobo 4beep. First question: could be a short? If was a short is it possible that sometimes the gpu works?
    Second I have a doubt on a mesure. I'm mesuring all the electrolitics caps in the phases and they mesure 0.5ish ohm one side and 0.2ish on the other. Is that normal? It sound short for me.
    Thank you all

      If is crucial to gpu - no.


      It sound short for me.
      It is not necessary short, on gpu may be a low resistance.
      Check if behaveour is connected with change of temperature (which indicate a some bad cap), or with slightly mechanical bending/pushing expecialy larger component, where it can indicate for bad or crack soldering point or even track. Use a plastic or wood stick.

      I got some that behaveour cap, that not working when it cold, but a few degree up and the all simptomps are gone. I find that with piece of ice cube, where I forced bad condition for him to reveal...

        Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
        by DynaxSC
        Hi Folks

        I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

        I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
        After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
        The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

        MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
        by Stephen
        I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

        Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
        by aaronkatrini
        Hi all,

        Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

        Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

        9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
        by Geeker007
        Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

        I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

        So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...

        450watt power supply 5v, 3.3v short to ground wire,in output rail ,connectors
        by playit
        hello everyone , working zebronics power suply 450 watts , 5v ,3.3v givin short to ground black wire, also in circuit at output, resistor was charred but shows right values , after removing resistors 39ohms, 51 ohms, there was no short , no continuity beeps with ground , but after replacing new resistors (now i am not switching it on) ,again short still exists . when i put bigger ohm resistor like 100k ohm , no short beeping sound comes , lower ohm resistor gives continuity beeps ,other big ones donest , as its a working psu , i am confused what to remove now or how to go further now .
