    Need to find where to read GPU voltage

    I am very new to reading laptop circuit schematics, which I find a bit confusing. I would appreciate if someone would help me to find the points where i can attach a multimeter to read the GPU voltage. Normally, under load, the GPU voltage should be at about 1.2v if that helps.

    I have attached photos of schematics relevant to the GPU power circulatory to this post.

    The full service manual/schematic can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B10...ew?usp=sharing

    Re: Need to find where to read GPU voltage

    I think gpu voltage can be measured on coils L507 and L503.

      Thanks, i will test that out later

      I am struggling to find where is the actual power output to the gpu. can you help me find it?

        Any ideas how can i overvolt the gpu to about 1.35v?

          The GPU voltage is set by the potential divider consisting of R831, R813, R812, R811, R830. The REF voltage is 2.0V.

          The three GPU voltage selections are achieved by bypassing R811 or 830 to ground via Q531 or Q532.

          D0 = 0, D1 = 0
          (1 - (43.2 / (43.2 + 36.5 + 15 + 15))) x 2 = 1.212V

          D0 = 0, D1 = 1
          (1 - (43.2 / (43.2 + 36.5 + 15))) x 2 = 1.088V

          D0 = 1, D1 = 0
          (1 - (43.2 / (43.2 + 36.5))) x 2 = 0.916V

          If you replace R812 (zero ohm link) with a 22K resistor, then ...

          D0 = 0, D1 = 0
          (1 - (43.2 / (43.2 + 36.5 + 15 + 15 + 22))) x 2 = 1.344V

            PCB Layer to layer short on a low voltage power plane - how to find it?
            by Prott
            Hello!
            Recently I have a problem finding a dead short (as far as my cheap multimeter is concerned) on a multilayered (12 layer) PCB. It is caused due to mechanical stress (warping the board and, I assume, cracking inner layers). Injecting voltage of 0.9 V (operational voltage of that part of the circuit) and drawing 0.5 W doesn't cause any visible hotspot on a thermal camera.

            Does anybody have any tips & tricks in order to locate the short more or less precisely? The area has a lot of powerplanes, so it's both blessing and a curse.

            Silly idea no. 1: Can I...

            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
            by Tynan Dill
            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

            Assuming...

            3+1 Voltage Regulator for IMVP-7/VR12 CPUs

            Compliant with IMVP-7/VR12, the ISL95831 provides a complete solution for microprocessor and graphic processor
            core power supply. It provides two Voltage Regulators (VRs) with three integrated gate drivers. The first VR can be
            configured as 3-, 2- or 1-phase VR while the second output is 1- phase VR, providing maximum flexibility. The two VRs share the
            serial control bus to communicate with the CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller board area compared with the two chip approach.
