no vcore if gpu failure?

[LiquidCap]

I have a laptop that just keeps restarting ~ every second and get no vcore voltage. The laptop does have one those NEC/TOKEN capacitors and i have a good feeling that is the problem. However i also think it can be the gpu and want to try a reflow on it. so the question is: Can a gpu failure prevent me from getting any vcore voltage? Or is it just the NEC/TOKEN cap?

Definitely replace NEC/Tokin before going near the GPU.

very often faulty capacitor causes restarting problem and if there is token then try cure it up first.
