    Is 20 ohms considered a short?

    I'm working on this Dell Latitude E6410 (LA-5471P) that can't power on and has flashing LED's, desoldered PL18 and one side has 20 ohms.

    Where EXACTLY are you measuring the 20Ohms? On the PCB, inductor terminals or where?

    If at the inductor that's too high, should be 1.3Ohms DC resistance.

    If on the PCB tell us from where to where.

      It's desoldered, I have 20 ohms in one of the PCB pads.

      On a sidenote: motherboard shorts the power adapter as soon as I plug it with processor installed, how can I check a short in the processor before I check the VCore circuit?

          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.

          MacBook Pro A1707 Motherboard Diagnostic Help – CD3215 heating and Fluctuating Rails
          by Cemal Odabasioglu
          Hello everyone,

          I'm currently diagnosing a MacBook Pro A1707 motherboard that does not power on. I've gathered some data but am stuck and need expert advice.
          Note that i'm a beginner in electronics and i'm trying to learn while trying to repair this macbook that my work gave me. I'm really curious and love understanding how thing works and i already learned so much.

          Only one usb c port is taking 20v and have 12.5v on PPBUS_G3H. when trying other ports, 2 are not going to 20v and one is going to 20v but the CD3215 is getting really hot.

          Observations...

          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...
