Re: Asus X541NA power issue

I also working on this board with same power issue... I'm sure and i found short, i just can't locate the short, the only part that getting very hot is the processor, is this mean's that the processor is shorted? i check the surrounding passive components around the processor and memory specially the capacitors they are short everyone of them. I really suspect the processor because it getting very hot once i put the power power adapter. see the attach picture, all voltage line (red) normal i think... except those in 0 volts. yellow color circles are shorted caps or v+ path i'm not sure what voltage are those I need a schematic, the blue circle is a mosfet that at first tested short but testing it out of circuit is good. I mentioned that the only part that is getting very hot is the processor, any thought? I don;t have a proper equipment to pull-off the processor, I need help for this... thank you

If the CPU is getting hot right after Plugging Adapter without generated Voltage at the Coil(s), it is dead for Sure. Your Board is now for spares.
