    Gigabyte mw34-sp0, Missing a component?


    Hello,

    Recently got a broken gigabyte mw34-sp0 to work on, and it seems to be missing a component. The issue is, there is literally no images of the backside of the board on the internet, let alone a schematic or a boardview. Thus, I'm shouting to the void and asking here if anyone might have any info I could work on. A massive thank you to anyone with any amount of info. The possible component:

    You may find there is no component fitted. I have a MW83-RP0 and it also has blank spaces where components could be fitted. If you look under magnification are the solder lands slightly domed? Possible nothing fitted. If the land looks rough could be a resistor has been knocked off. Looks like a pair of FETs.

      It is certainly possible there never was a component fitted, but under magnification I am fairly certain there is a square type indent/spot left on the pad. I'm also like 70% sure that if it had a component, it was a resistor. The trace going to it carries 3.3V if I recall correct, and significantly narrows after the component. Having no boardview or schematic for this board, I left it at that currently. I'm also 100% sure either the pads got scraped and nothing was there, or a component flew off. The pads have taken some form of damage, that much is clear. The damage to the pads is such that there really is no possible way to be 100% sure either way.
