ASUS gaming laptop GL704GV GPU DEAD SHORT

[Mabot17]

Hello i need help to fix this laptop,at least a discrete to UMA conversion if it's possible.
i took a photo of what i found,NVIDIA gpu side is 100% shorted as i desoldered power line coils and mosfet side is ok.
Even without coils laptop still not power on.Main power rails,bios,1v,3,3v and 5v are present

The GPU Core phases appearing "shorted" is normal and NOT a indicator for a defective GPU. Your board has a different problem.

However, more informations are necessary about all power rails, listed in a structured way. "1V, 3V, 5V" present is too less. Also nothing shared about the history and the exact behaviour.

Ok this is crazy,just resoldered back nvdd coils(i though it was a gpu short due to 0,3ohm resistance to ground value)laptop it’s working ,hmm maybe frozen bios,don’t really know but it’s up and running.i’ve changed thermal paste with artic 4 beacuse it was really dry.
