Hi,
I have an Asus 2021 ROG Strix G17 G713 that is not powering on and not charging. Board number is G533-6050A3250201.
When plugged in, I found that the 3.3v/5v regulator was getting extremely hot, so I removed, next I found a short on the 3.3V rail. Removed the two 3.3v mosfets and found one of them shorted, but still the short on the rail did not clear. Then I injected voltage at that rail, and found out that U60400 the 2.5v rail was also getting hot. Removing it changed the short from 0 ohms to about 5-6 ohms, then I remove a bunch of other suspect components but that did not clear the short.
Something of note, the resistance of the inductors feeding the GPU (PVCORE_DGPU I think) is close to 0.1 ohms or something in the milliohms, is that normal?
Also the resistance of the inductors to the processors are around 4.2 ohms.
How do I move forward from here?
Thank you.
