Hello,
I am getting a bit desperate with this one and would appreciate any help.
I came across a NUC 7i7 that initially had a short on the USB header "rail" (one of the decoupling capacitors). But, besides that, it displays a weird behaviour - if I don't attach anything to the m.2 slot it works great (boots into windows, etc.). However once I plug in an m.2 drive the computer won't display anything on the screen.
There's no picture, but the computer is still working (I can turn on/off numlock, etc.). This behaviour remains the same even if I disable the m.2 port in the bios.
- I tried to measure the 3v3 rail for the m.2 - no shorts there.
- I flashed a new bios that works on other 7i7 NUC. I also made sure to check with different drives, but all of them behave the same.
- I even tried to plug in the drive without turning off the computer, but once it restarts the picture is gone (and without restart it doesn't detect the drive).
Can anybody please point me into a right direction? Thank you
