A very general question, when inject voltage and board draw over 4a and pull down 5v to 1v, but nothing is hot under thermal camera. Can I assume it is layer short? or it could be something very typical that I just have no idea of being a noob.

Check the CPU without a heatsink. -
CPU is not getting hot all, and CPU power supply is not shorted either... Have a few cases in the past that I can not find the short and I told myself it would be the board layers.....Comment

Hello,
Tell us more what board, where do you inject...
Maybe you inject directly to the ground...😁Comment

Hello, Just double check the board, and MON2 was right, the CPU is shorted, after taking thermal pad off the cpu ( forgot to take it off after the heatsink), CPU is shooting up over 50 while pull down the power. Thank you all for the help. Now I know I need to clean off the CPU when checking with thermal camera, so simple and so stupid I feel about myself.Comment

Hello,
Don't inject 5v anywhere, if the cpu was right now it's really dead !
Generally you have to stay under 1v if you are not sure cpu/gpu/chipset mofset are not shorted…Comment
