    MSI B660 MORTAR NO DISPLAY

    Hi!
    MSI B660 MORTAR MS-7D42
    the problem start when the client broke some capacitors and resistors in Back of the motherboard​ under PCH
    i put them back but
    same thing
    motherboard power on with no display after press the pwr button power on with dram led and restart and power on again with red cpu led
    cpu vcor looks good no short and cpu heat up but after second restart not heating
    i found 2 shorted transistor near to KBC but i doubt if that normal short or not (connected to AGND AND AMDSIC)
    other technicien flash the bios but same thing .

    If board is going to lit DRAM LED this means that Bios is read by PCH, processor, PCH and SIO are working and speaking to each other, otherwise this would not happen.

    Check power supply of DRAM (1.2V and 0.6V), maybe 0.6V is missing, assumed this is a DDR4 board.
    Another reason could be bent or dirty LGA pins or dirty processor pads.
    Potentially could be also a problem with communication between PCH and DRAM there is a 2 lines serial bus directly between PCH and DRAM (might go through some mosfet keys) to allow read the memory spi chip data of the memories.
    Sometimes the first DRAM check after CMOS reset can last a minute or more, did you wait long enough ?
    Last but maybe not least unsupported memories, or processor unsupported by the BIOS.
    Some more parts ripped off ?
    If nothing of that finally can also be a partially broken PCH, seen a lot of such cases, if board if behaving strange, this can indicate an issue with PCH. This can be proven only with exchanging PCH and should be the last option as PCH is expensive, and the process of exchanging very difficult.

      i found one broken pin may this pin make this problem ?

        Unfortunately not, this is a VCORE pin, one of many, and is redundant.
        See attached printscreen from a different MSI Z690 board, all LGA 1700 pinouts are the same.

          Gigabyte B660 Gaming X DDR4 cpu-dram light keep changing between
          by brusli009
          So i got a used B660 Gaming X DDR4. and got a cheap g6900 cpu to try it out, yet at first the cpu wasnt detected so i just tightened the ilm screws more and it was detected now but the dram led and cpu led would keep changing between the 2. I have tried 3 different ram kits in all slots separately, 2 are on the official list, and nothing so far. I aslo tried updating using q flash plus but no matter how much i keep it pressed the orange led next to it dosent turn on.
          I might also add that i get 5 long beeps before it shuts off and starts again

          I have an issue with laptop dell latitude e5490 that auto restart when arrive at certain point in loading windows.
          Board model is dm70 la-f401p rev:1.0 2017-09-20.

          At first, the issue is sometime ssd sata 2.5 not detected. i already try another cable, at certain point, it ok using old cable (i mean sata cable here).
          After a few days test, is seems ok.

          Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite CPU Dram led cycle
          by The1
          Hi all,

          I have a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite Motherboard.

          Originally would not power on

          Reprogram EC eeprom and Bios eeprom with known good from this forum. Now error lights cycle between CPU and Dram.

          I have checked for shorts on all coils and found none.
          I have checked all power rail voltages and chips for pgood signal all good
          Checked CPU socket and found a damage pin, managed to clean and fix it should be making good contact now but no change. Dram and CPU are known good. Dram sockets look good.
          I can't see any...

          Samsung Qled QE58Q60 restart
          by alex26
          Hello. I have a Samsung qled model QE58Q60TAU.
          The TV restarts continuously and without an image. If I disconnect either half, the TV does not restart, but in both situations I have absolutely nothing on the display, only the backlight is on. I checked the CKv signals and the rest VGH, VSS etc. I measured them against the ground and between them and found between VGH and VSS a resistance of 106 ohms on the B side of the screen (right). I isolated all the signals on the right side and covered them with scotch tape and absolutely nothing has changed, it doesn't restart but I have no picture...

          Surface Laptop 3 Model 1873 AMD randomly restart
          by Sokha Vitou
          hello everyone. please help i have a surface laptop 3 AMD model 1873 that randomly restart. i don't think it has bad CPU, because when tried to stress test by CPU-z it not restart or has anything wrong, it just randomly restart when normal use ( browser, or watch video....). i tried to replace U6701 and U6702 but don't see any thing change.
          I'm tried to fine any glue on internet but no luck. I'm looking for any advice from you guy please....
