    Asus GTX 970 Turbo No Picture

    So, where to start.

    I bought EVGA GTX 970 and Asus GTX 970 Turbo for 30 Euros total (warranty stickers were untouched).

    The EVGA one has a short on 12V external power rail on high side mosfet of the Vcore, ordered low, high side ones and mosfet driver just in case because it takes 20-30 days for it to come from China. When they arrive ill post the result.


    The Asus one is pain in the ass.

    Before disassembling the card i measured resistances and all that i could reach.

    12V PCIe 8.8k Ohm
    3.3V PCIe 860 Ohm
    Vcore 9 Ohm
    Vmem 29 Ohm(Samsung)

    I noticed the broken cap with pad torn of on pcie dataline. Because my solder mask did not arrive yet i soldered the 220nF cap like in picture.

    It looks dodgy but its fine. Data lanes are not short and it has continuity from pci to cap and from cap further. I tested(diode mode) all datalines and they have 0.7V

    I thought that is it, i plugged it in but no picture. The computer makes post bip sound but nothing.

    I then dissasembled the card and measured resistance of 5V and 1.05V and voltages:

    5V 3.4k Ohm
    1.05V 1.1k Ohm

    Vmem 1.58V
    Vcore 0.9V
    1.05 missing

    Measured voltages were good except 1.05V. Looked under the microscope and saw missing smd.

    IC P7163 was missing 5V VDD voltage that goes through 4.7 Ohm resistor (boardview of strix version). Jumped it with 0.1mm wire and 1.05 was back on.

    But still no picture.

    PEX reset B11 pin is 3.3V

    Flashed the bios with the one from techpowerup but same thing.

    I noticed 2 more things.

    First is missing smd near sli connectors.

    Second thing is variable voltage on capacitor near INA3221 IC.
    It varies from 0V to 1.9V

    If anyone has any idea for me to try, then speak out man

    I dont have means to do reball.

    About missing smd , it's not missing (check the attached picture) , it's only reserved for the Sli version (Same board for different versions).

    About fluctuation in voltage , in my opinion , it only indicate that you need to reball .

        It is on pin 1 and 2 that go to cap (marked in green).
        IC is INA3221 (Triple-Channel, High-Side Measurement,
        Shunt and Bus Voltage Monitor with I2C- and SMBUS-Compatible Interface) specs say :

        Pin 1: IN–3 Analog input Connect to load side of the channel 3 shunt resistor. Bus voltage is the measurement from this pin to ground.

        Pin 2: IN+3 Analog input Connect to supply side of the channel 3 shunt resistor.

        The other 2 channels i see 12v steady and traces are going somewhere (probably to shunt resistor ), this channel only goes to this cap.


        Also forgot to mention important thing that card is not detected in device manager when i use integrated gpu to boot to windows.

          Update:

          Bought x1 pcie riser and gpu gives picture and drivers install.

          I will revisit pcie dataline capacitor job i did, maybe put a new one.

          Parts for EGA did not arrive yet.

            ASUS STRIX G531GT MISSING PM_SLP_SUS#

            Hello guys i have ASUS laptop that power on but can't switch ons , i trying using power sequence and last missing PM_SLP_SUS# .
            here what i measure already:

            EC_RST# 3.3V
            SRTCRST# 3v
            +3VA_RTC 3V
            RTCRST# 3V
            ME_SusPwrDnAck 0V
            AC_PRESENT 3.3 V
            AC_IN_OC# 0V
            PS_ON 3,3V
            +3VA_DSW 3.3V
            DPWROK_EC /R 3.2V
            PM_BATLOW# 3.3V
            SM_INTRUDER# 2.8V
            PM_SLP_SUS# -----> MISSING VOLTAGE ( but sometime this voltage is present )

            THat is can confirm PCH relate issue...

            Asus Zenbook UX431DA / UM431D - Ryzen - missing PWM Fan Signal.
            by gurj1979
            Hey guys.

            Need help with this one.
            Fan not spinning due to missing PWN Fan signal.
            Also 5 seconds from powering up it freezes, unless in BIOS.
            But as soon as Windows starts to load, it will freeze.
            CPU is COLD / Room temp when it freezes.

            I've replaced the CPU, same problem.
            Replaced SIO/KBC IT8987e and reprogrammed - same problem.
            Replaced fan - same problem.
            Replaced flex cable from board to daughterboard (which has fan connector on it) - same problem.
            Checked the Thermal sensors around CPU and Board to the SIO/KBC and...
