how to confirm if you have a dead SMC/SUPER IO CHIP?

[mnciks11]

Guys how do you confirm if you have a dead Super io chip (SMC Chip)?

Which pins to check if you have a dead Super IO chip?

How do you confirm?

SMC (Apple) and Super IO / EC / KBC are completely different things.

What do you exactly mean? What Chip?
Nobody is able to help without any information about it.

I think he means kbc on non-apple mobo's.

i mean Super IO chip(kbc/ec/)

most likely it's shorting the 3.3 v-rail to ground. for example, you can check caps near the super-i/o for shorts, sometimes the chip itself will get hot if charger is plugged in or you inject voltage. in some cases, the chip is exploded and looks suspicious under the microscope or in macro mode... other things are to check the pins (via datasheet) and compare the readings/voltage-output. especially lenovo systems with the quadrangular charger and destroyed charging port/charger plug have a bad i/o-chip. in this scenario, the 19 v-rail touch the middle pin and will straightly fry the ic. it's just a bad design by the manufacturer...
