    Searching for XPS 420 desktop motherboard schematic(s)

    Am trying to repair my desktop motherboard that suddenly wont boot.
    I noticed that a surface mount capacitor has blown and also there is now a short between +12V rail to GND.
    Any help is appreciated.

      I should have of course mentioned that this is a DELL XPS 420 tower - sorry.

      The motherboard has a sticker labelled CN-0TP406-70821-7C6-IOUU Rev A01 on the major component (eg. RAM sockets) side of the board.
      The motherboard also has P63117C 94V0 R02-015 written using the etching process on the underside.
      The motherboard also has 316764300018 TF-PCB,TED-DPN,PWA-SAN MARINO/MB,SILVER.R02_A01.12*10.5.T=1.6MM,6LAYER silscreened on the underside.

      The short is evident across the ATX 4-pin 12V connector on the [major component side] of the board.
      The capacitor that blew is C721 (which is along the [major component side] of the board edge from the ATX 4-pin 12V connector towards the cpu.
      I have since found that the Q32 MOSfet beside C721 has very low resistance between gate and source (pins 1&3).
      I suspect that this capacitor and the MOSfet circuitry that drive the ram are contributing to the short.

        Low resistance reading on 3v line, Asus Prime H310M-A R2.0 desktop motherboard
        by lezsimply
        Hello Everyone and Good Day,

        I've got an issue with this desktop motherboard. It does not power on, Asus Prime H310M-A R2.0. I tested 33ohms reading on 3v line on the ATX connector. It beeps on continuity mode. I tried injecting voltage from 0.9v at 1.5amps and no current being drawn. I raised the voltage to 3v @ 4amps and now I only get 22mA on current. I checked with thermal camera and there is no part heating up. I'm afraid of going further the safe voltage. What could possibly causing the line to be shorted. 5vsb has no short. I get 0.9v on positive pin of power switch. There's...
