Good day.
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with a Lenovo Ideapad S130 motherboard. When I connect it to the bench PSU and limit the supply to ~2.2A (about the limit of the lenovo stock PSU), the board absorbs all the amperage and the voltage on the PSU drops down to about 4-5V.
The components on the board that get hot are the two mosfets ( 1 and 2 on the photo ) and the CPU. The resistance to ground measured on the power rail coils can be seen on the image (~17 and ~50 ohms). On the top of the CPU there are few caps which measure dead short. I checked all caps on the top side of the board and did not find anything suspecious.
I guess this means that the CPU has shorted, but people say that the CPUs usually have low resistance.. but wasn't able to find what exactly "low" means.
Thanks in advance.
