So i have posted about this laptop before, in my journey to fix it. However my journey took a huge detour when i got too comfortable with my motherboard repairing skills, and like the rookie i am, managed to put an 18650 3.7v battery to my Haswell i7 processor.
Thinking there was a short to ground, but literally creating a short to ground myself. VCORE which is the 3 coils that connect to the cpu on the motherboard, shows a direct short to ground, insisting to me that the processor is fried internally and dead.
However, my knowledge of these processors internals is limited, and i'm wondering if theres any way i can possibly ressurect the i7. As buying a new one from china, and getting a stencil for it, as well as paste and such is a complicated project i dont think im ready to partake in, as well as its quite expensive for these mobile processors.
If anyone knows what could have likely happend, and if i can do anything that could possibly fix this please let me know. Main information i can give, Origninal VCORE Ohms to ground, before battery voltage was applied, 25 ohms. Current ohms of vcore are basically direct short to ground with 1~0 ohms(i know 0 ohms is impossible but its what my multimeter says xD).
Laptop works except for the processor.
