    Shorted ASUS Prime Z690-A (DDR5)?

    This motherboard does not respond to the power button. And is dragging the 5VSB down by almost a volt. Sometimes the RGB on the IO lights up, and there is a green LED near the onboard power button, although it does not respond to any power buttons. Also does not boot if PSU is jumpered on.

    I heard a Cat threw up on this PC, but I saw no evidence that it reached the motherboard (just the RX580) or any cleaning because it is still very dusty.

    It also seems to have killed an RX580 and a GTX970 video card. Their fans don't spin and they don't show up on the PCIe bus in an x99 motherboard with another video card for Windows to use.

    The Nuvoton NCT6798D is getting warm (40C in a 20C room) as well as a couple spots near the Audio chip.

    Do I have a shorted motherboard? 😥

    That thermal image seems shifted up by a fair amount. If you go by the electrolytic cap on the right and the cold spot.

    I would imagine the chip and inductor on the left are getting hot, markings on chip 6J=8C W3N
