    Toshiba satellite p50-b-11l - Mainboard VG20SQ/20CQG MB 2.1

    Good evening to everyone. I have a problem with this laptop.
    I entered the laboratory with the defect of the graphics card that was not activated (error code 10).
    With integrated intel graphics everything is ok.
    I change the hard disk, reinstall the operating system but the ati still did not work.
    We decide with the customer to replace the bga ati (216-0846009).
    Soldered new bga ati but the defect of the black screen appears, I try to replace the ram but nothing to do, the laptop remains on but black screen.
    I decide to remove the core vga by unsoldering the coil that feeds the bga ati but begins to present a strange flaw, the laptop after the power on turns off after 5 seconds. I noticed that the CPU becomes very hot. I try to remove the bga ati but the defect remains. I checked the coils that powered the cpu_core is I find a voltage of 1.70v in the 3 coils (l8001, l8002, l8003). I make a measurement in ohms and I find a resistance of 0.3 ohms on the coils. When the laptop turns on, the coils heat a lot.
    Now I believe that the cpu is shorted even if I can not explain how.
    I tried to seller the old bga ati but nothing to do. Now I have solder new bga ati but the defect remains, turns off after 5 sec is the cpu and the coils become very hot.
    Any help please?
    Merry Christmas to everyone

    Short the leads of your multimeter together and check the resistance. Measure again the resistance to ground on the CPU VCore coil. if the difference between those 2 values is very low (like below 0.2 ohm) then it sounds like the VCore line is shorted. If the CPU heats up then it is likely the culprit and will need to be replaced.
    However 1.7V on a Haswell CPU VCore is a normal value.

      Somethign appeared to me today, same notebook... the 3 vcore coils are hot (well... 55 degree) ... 1.7V (same as robgerr )
      the heatsink become very hot without any image on the display (no backlight)
      i decided to make an UMA conversion ( 2 coils on the AMD gpu , and 4 restitors to move on the opposite side of the board)

      started removing the 2 coils (resistors notr touched)

      the power comsuption changed from 1.4A to 0.55A

      the CPU is COLD ... i was assuming all the heat come from the GPU

      resoldered back the 2 coil of GPU... but the GPU is no more taking power... 0.55A of consuption, heatsink completely cold.. after 1 minute the fan start spinning at maximum speed. but the only thing heating is the chipset and the 3 cpu coils (stable at 1.699V)

      no idea on what was happening.. all otehr voltages are OK.. the power button is working and is starting/shutting down the PC...
