    MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7523) - How Do I Diagnose Short

    I have this motherboard, I replaced the VRM high and low caps as well as a couple 6.bloated 6.3V 1500uF 8mm caps by the memory slots. I purchased the board in this state and I'm pretty sure nothing I did caused the current symptom of it not working.

    The particular symptom is that when I apply power, the CPU fan will turn on for the briefest amount of time and then turn off, and then it will not even attempt to power on unless power is completely removed.

    So this sounds like a short somewhere, but I was wondering if someone could help me out with the best way to test N-Channel MOSFETs in this situation.

    I can take a brute-force approach and just desolder and swap them all, but is there a better way to go about it?

    Thanks

      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...

      MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
      by Stephen
      I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

      HP Victus 15-fb dag3pamb8d0 Short on VCORE – How to Confirm CPU Fault?
      by adelfr2009
      I have a laptop HP Victus 15-fb with motherboard DAG3PRMB8D0, CPU Ryzen 7535HS, and GPU RTX 2050. The laptop has a power issue: it does not turn on at all, and there is no light on the DC jack.
      After inspection, I found that an NMOS near the charger input had a short. I replaced it, but the short remained on the 19V line. I checked the charging circuit and it was fine, but the short appears after the current sense resistor near the charger. The charger does not pass current when connected, so I inject 3V–4V after the sense resistor. No component gets hot, except the CPU which becomes...

      Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
      by aaronkatrini
      Hi all,

      Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

      Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

      9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
      by Geeker007
      Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

      I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

      So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...
