Hi,
Not a laptop motherboard, but since I want to get better at chip level repair, I want to try to fix this old Gigabyte OEM motherboard.
When pressing power button, fan turns on but no beep from buzzer and nothing shows up on the screen. VCore is ok (about 1.36V), but measuring RSMRST# on pin 116 of IT8712F-S shows around 0.2V. What else should I check?
Also northbridge seems to get quite hot after a few minutes (60-70°C). Is it dead even if it's not shorted? Could it be the cause of RSMRST not going high?
