    Dead Gibabyte mobo!!!

    Hi guys
    I bought a Ga-p55-us3l from ebay and i have a weird problem as far as i can tell.
    When i plug the atx24 pins connector along with the 12V 4 pins atx connector, the motherboard doesn't show any sign of life( phase led light off ) cpu and gpu fans are off and of course no post or whatsoever.
    When i disconnect the atx12v connector ,the cpu fan starts to turn and the CPU phase lights come on.
    I have a good electronics background, but i've never tried to fix a mobo before!!
    I want to do some troubleshooting, but i don't have any schematic and i don't know where to start from!
    can someone help me please!!!

      as this connector is for added CPU power, check this line for short

          Shorted MOSFET on CPU VCore VRM. Measure exact resistance between +12V and ground inside this P4 CPU power connector (+12V is the pins that connect to yellow wire, ground is the pins that connect to black wire), with the power supply cable actually disconnected.

              Thank you guys for your inputs
              I have a short between the 12V rail and ground inside the connector!
              i have found some shorted source and drain on some Mosfet's ( K4212)
              I guess this Mobo is not worth fixing!!!
              I only want what could went wrong!!could be a bad Power supply unit, because i have tried this board with a cheap Power supply and since then i ended up having this problem and two defective CPU's?

                  it's just mosfet/s, replace check caps and it will be good to go

                              mosfets is mosfets. u can keep it from another mobo or gpu.

                                  I don't have the same point of view there… CPU VCore MOSFETs are quite sensitive in my experience. Only replacing the shorted one with random MOSFET from Aliexpress always resulted in the board dying again.
                                  For piece of mind I replace all the high-side (or low-side) MOSFETs with ones from the same batch, avoiding Chinese eBay seller or Aliexpress. I also replace the PWM controller for the MOSFET that died, or if everything is integrated into the CPU buck controller itself I replace it as well.

                                      im not replacing for random from aliexpress. im mostly using used genuine from used mobo and mostly with higher walues

                                          Toshiba Satellite M50-A keyboard connector on LA-A481P motherboard
                                          by michhak
                                          Hi guys,
                                          i have a damaged keyboard connector on my older Toshiba Satellite M50-A laptop. I know there is LA-A481P motherboard. In attachment pictures there is a real looking connector and i also found a schematic to the connector. But i need help with finding a real electronic part to replace the damaged connector. e.g. on aliexpress (or different page).
                                          It is 34pin connector and the length from pin n.1 to pin n.34 is 26mm. So it means a pitch length is 0.764 mm. I have seen connectors with 0.5mm , 0.7mm , 0.8mm and 1mm pitch length. But not with 0.75. Is it some special custom connector...

                                          so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                                          i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                                          Thinkpad T490 doesn't detect NVME
                                          by pandrew
                                          I have a Thinkpad T490 (NM-B901 Rev 1.0) that cannot detect an NVME M.2 SSD,
                                          but it works fine with a SATA M.2 SSD.

                                          When connecting an NVME M.2 SSD I get while booting:
                                          "2101: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)"

                                          I can continue and boot a live linux distro from a USB stick, but it doesn't show up in lspci,
                                          and I don't notice any relevant error messages in dmesg.

                                          I have tried two different M.2 NVME SSDs (both working fine on a different machine),
                                          and the behavior is the same.

                                          I am pretty sure that all the important...

                                          Hello All,

                                          tl;dr: minimal electronics experience and my first repair, lifted 8 pads off the laptop display LED controller board when attempting a connector replacement, options are attempting pad repair or jump wiring.

                                          Laptop Model: MacBook Pro 15 Mid-2014 Retina, A1398 MGXA2LL/A

                                          I needed to replace the 30-pin I-PEX Cabline connector (labeled J8300 in the Apple 820-3662 mainboard schematics),...

                                          Hello guys,

                                          im actually trying to wake up a non powering up gpu, model RX580 Pulse 8gb. I have a multimeter and 3 lab PSU. I mention 3 lab psu because i don't have mobo so here is the situation. I followed step by step the video from here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=supu7YeNTfw), he does another one about the 1.8V regulator possibly guilty, In both scenario, as me, No vcore voltage but no short anywhere. But in his case he s plugging the gpu to his mobo and the 8pin connector as well when for me, for the moment as i don't own mobo, i just inject voltage from the 12V rail from...
