    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...

          MSI R9 390 Gaming 8GB - short on +MVDD
          by hummel
          Hello,

          Please note I am a noob and all the actions described below are based on the experience gathered on the internet, mainly YT

          MSI R9 390 Gaming 8GB - motherboard model MS-V308 v2.3.

          The card has a short circuit on the entire + MVDD line, starting from the Q703 element ending with the MVREFD outputs under the GPU, but I will describe from the beginning what I did:

          1. At the very start, I measured the resistances on the main power lines, coils and checked the 0 ohm resistors. Everywhere ok, hundreds/thousands of ohms on each, well except...

          9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
          by Geeker007
          Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

          I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

          So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...
