    Asus P8P67 LE shorted VRM

    Hi all, I am trying to repair a motherboard from asus that suddenly stopped working. There was a shorted mosfet in the vrm. I connected the cpu power pins to a lab power supply and a Nikos P0903BDL mosfet (second row in the picture) got very hot. After replacing it with a P0903BDG (already replaced in the pic) the motherboard starts but does not post.

    I noticed that the cpu doesn't get hot without a cooler when the motherboard is turned on. I suspect that there are other defective components in the VRM.

    I have a tester that can test mosfets. Should I just remove all the mosfets from the VRM one by one to test them? Or is there something else I should check first?

      In the CPU VRM section you need to match the MOSFET or else they will be unbalanced and one of them will heat up and die again. Use the same model, and if possible replace both MOSFET of one phase with the same batch.
      Also usually it's better to replace the driver IC and/or the buck controller as they either could have caused the MOSFET's death, or die at the same time as the MOSFET.

          There was also one P0403BDG that had gone bad in the VRM. I don't have a similar replacement for that.

          Can I replace the mosfets and drivers from an Asus P8P67-M REV 3.00 motherboard? I have one that has all voltages OK, but no post. There seems to be a similar design, but the mosfets are of type A09N03 and A09N06 compared to P0903BDL and P0403BDG on the P8P67 LE.

              thanks for the boardview. Is there any schematics available for this mainboard?
              I searched the net and did not find it.

                  Usually no schematics for Asus, only boardviews which is already a nice thing to have.

                                  Asus GA502D keeps blowing mosfet
                                  by Scotchmist
                                  I have an Asus GA502D, it had a blown mosfet which I replaced and the laptop booted into windows, a few mins later it shut off, the same mosfet was blown. I thought maybe just a bad mosfet but same thing happened again, a few mins in windows and shuts off.

                                  I have removed the mosfet and can run the laptop no problem

                                  The MOSFET is FDPC5018SG

                                  Can anyone point me in the direction of what could be the cause of this, could it be the controller rt3663bc?

                                  Thanks

                                  Intel D865PERL - no Vcore after replacing MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers
                                  by kotel studios
                                  Hi,

                                  Finally got time to fix this board up.
                                  At first it didn't give any POST codes. Turns out it was an unsupported Celeron D cpu. After dropping in an Celery 2.6gHz the CPU came out of reset with clock signal, but still no post codes. For a while it did work when I applied pressure to the ADP3168 chip, but on next reboot the MOSFETs started to burn. Then I left it as is for months.

                                  Now I came back prepared. Replaced the bad MOSFETs and the ADPxx18k drivers. Now I don't get any MOSFETs blowing up issues anymore. But sadly, the Vcore is missing. The whole VRM isn't...

                                  ASUS ROG Zephyrus GPU Mosfet repeat failure
                                  by MicroSMD Lab
                                  The board number is GU502DU. I repaired this a couple weeks ago and it came back with the same issue, same mosfet failed (PQH9201). I'm hoping that the GPU was spared this time.
                                  I used the same replacement part (purchased from Mouser) and I'm certain the soldering was done properly since it took just as much effort to remove as before. What could cause this same mosfet to fail? I'm thinking if it was unsuitable then the others would fail too. I looked for similar failures on YTube and the mosfet was replaced with AOE6930 in one instance and AOE6932 in the other but it's possible that the...

                                  Hi All,
                                  Could anyone comment on the purpose of the MOSFET circled in red in the attached photo of an ASUS ROG X299 Extreme VRM?

                                  I'm trying to fix an ASUS motherboard(WS x299 SAGE) with a similar VRM where this MOSFET has burnt out along with one of the IR3555m driver chips. From looking at photos of motherboard VRMs on the internet, it seems only some ASUS motherboards have a MOSFET like this. Although I've seen some photos of ASUS z370 boards where it's not populated. The MOSFET is usually a NTMFS4C06N. It has its drain connected to the output of the Vcore VRM, and on...

                                  I have no experience or knowledge and usage of tools to repair devices besides the entire past 12-10 days of researching, watching YouTube repair videos and troubleshooting this laptop motherboard. ChatGPT was used as a guide to ask questions.
                                  I used boardviews of mostly FX505GD-M, and some FX505DU, FX505DD. Used schematics of FX505DU.
