Re: MPG X570 Gaming Edge - does not power on
Yeah interestingly I forgot to mention if I read the Vref capacitor with the meter leads reversed I get around 250nF - so something is affecting the reading while in circuit.
If there is nothing special about it, I bought a whole set of 0603 and 0402 MLCC capacitors off aliexpress a while back - something like 10 each of 75 values, from 1pF to 10uF. They are mostly 50V I think, but lower voltage for the high value capacitors.
Anyway I'll put a 1uF in there tomorrow and see what happens. I'll also check the old one out of circuit, just to see what it reads
I'm not generally a gambling man but just to have a quick punt - my money is on the capacitor not the chip. Of course now I said that, sods law says it will be the chip.
