T460s no power

[mon2]

Remove all power -> meter in resistance mode -> measure the resistance to ground of the L5 inductor. We are only checking if there is a short on this line. Proceed to check each and every inductor using the same process (always without power). If checking resistor or DIODE mode -> never any power to the board.

Post each measurement and the units of measure which for resistance will be ohms; kohms (thousands of ohms); Mohms (mega-ohms), etc.

I'm a bit confused
on both my multimeters one probe on ground and the other probe one either side of the L5 coil the resistance keeps changing starting at 50 Kohms up to 1.5 Mohms

I read that the multimeter applies a very low voltage and then calculates the voltage drop, thus calculating the resistance, which charges the capacitors, therefore varying the resistance. I'm not sure if that is correct. I read that on Reddit. Please correct me if I am wrong

50 Kohms up to 1.5 Mohms

This is all that matters. You do not have a short on this power rail. Continue to test in the same way, each and every inductor on the board. Checking for a low resistance reading.

[Kad009]

L32 to ground 19 ohms
L29 to ground 10 ohms
L30 to ground 9 ohms
In diode mode, all the coils beep to ground

I read that cpu coils have very low resistance to ground. Is it that low?
