    MSI GTX 970 4 GB Short on 3V3 pci express ??

    Hello everyone =D

    I post this little message in order to have a little help.

    I have a MSI GTX 970 4 GB and after checking only the 3V3 at PCI express level is shorted
    After verification with the thermal camera and injection of a very small voltage lower than 0.95 V, part of the CPU at the top left heats up and nothing else.

    Do you think that the GPU is in question I did not find anything else heating, nor other short circuit.

    Thanks a lot

    It could be fried but it could also be there is a short less prone to heating up then The gpu. Either way thermal camera probably wont work unless it helps to raise injection alittle.

    Check if you have some darker area on that corner of The die. Sounds like a bad memory controller in gpu maybe.

      Check for ic similar to bios chips use multimeter to check which component is shorted. I had same short o. 1080Ti and AAM7MA was shorted.

        I have only the GPU that heats up with the thermal camera with an amperage close to 1 Ampere and no other component, nor with iso alcohol and rosin.

        The mosfets are ok in all its set on the line of the VCORE and values are in the KOhm

        I will also look at the memories but no short circuit on the VMEM and also at the level well I will look at that today.

        I only have the 3V3 volts in short circuit.



        I attach the complete schematic of the MSI GTX 970 if you have any idea where I can look exactly it would help me a lot =D

          ASUS FX505DV no power shorted at PWM controller Pin 3 VREG3 TPS51225C, need pinpointing of the short.

          (If anyone has a functional boardview file of FX505DV/DU that would be helpful)

          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.

          I had originally intended to replace the BQ24780s first (due to previous battery removal while benchmarking) but I...

          Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
          by DynaxSC
          Hi Folks

          I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

          I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
          After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
          The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

          Dell N5110 problem
          by Achille15
          Hello everyone,
          so, I have this laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 with a heating problem on both CPU (I7-2680qm) and GPU (GT 525m), I tried many solutions, like changing thermal paste every month, using thermal pads on CPU and GPU, even using thermal pads on CPU nearby coils; but nothing worked, just minutes after booting the laptop shuts itself down so I thought it might be a short problem, so I decided to check what's going on, so I went online and some tutorial (general one) said to check inductors in order to find the shorted circuit, after checking (CPU removed), I found the culprit to be...

          19v rail short voltage injection help!
          by NConstantinou
          i HAVE AN HP MOBO WHICH HAS SHORT +VIN.
          THE SHORT APPEARS AFTER THER CURRENT SENSE RESISTOR.(REMOVED AND TESTED).

          I AM GETTING RESISTANCE TO GROUND 14 OHMS.

          I PLACED A JUMPER CABLE ON CURRENT SENSE RESISTOR AND I APPLIED 2V
          AND I INCREASE AMPS UPTO 0.86 SHOWNING CC ON PS FOR SHORT.
          I NOTICE PCH AEAR IS GETTING A LITTLE BIT WARM.
          I INCREASE AMPS TO 0.9 AND CC LIGHT ON PS WHEN OFF.

          ACCORDING TO PS SHORT CC LIGHT IS ON BETWEEN 0.27-0.86A

          WHY IS THIS!
          CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN

          THANKS

          Shorted inductor means short circuit? Asus ROG Gaming laptop.
          by mr.Data
          I have a dead Asus ROG gaming laptop with liquid damage. When I measure the first mosfet, there is 19V. On the second mosfet there is nothing on the input and 4.3V on the output but it is not continuously. It is going up and down.

          I have read this article:
          https://www.prospace20.com/2022/03/h...ad-laptop.html
          Is it through that inductors can never be shorted?

          I have 2 inductors near the GPU that are shorted. Does this mean that the GPU itself is shorted? How can I know for sure?
