            7 or 8 bit no cpu error, but why with a13 bios it is dead ? im suspecting of a bad pch chip.

                same thing was for me, with the A11 it was just dead, cousin motherboards maybe
                No idea what causes it tho

                    GTX 1080 TI Gigabyte Aorus low resistance on vmem
                    by cind12
                    Hi guys, i was wondering, i've got 9Ohms on Vmem, one of the mosfet was shortet to ground, so i've desoldered hi and low mosfets nad still low res, then i removed all of the memory chips, and the resistance is still low, so did you had maybe a card with that low res on memories, and the card was working fine ?
                    Removed the U1866Q and still without result, i dont have thermal cam so can't see where is hot spot when incjeting voltage.
                    The resistance on core is ok 0.1Ohm ((Power 0.8V when on)
                    Resistance on 12V 4K ohms (Power present when on)
                    Resistance on 12V PEX 4K ohms...

                    Dell Alienware 17 R1 / M17X R5 / LA-9331P REV 1.0 - 7 beeps
                    by zwect
                    I have this Alienware 17 laptop with the VAS00 LA-9331P REV 1.0 motherboard that does not turn on anything when power is plugged in and gives the 7 beep sequence, CPU / GPU does not heat up, i tried only with an I5 4200M (the laptop did not come with either the GPU or the CPU, but on the back says that it originally came with the Nvidia 860M and an 4710MQ).

                    While i do not know if there is any CPU blacklisting system on the motherboard, i tried reflashing the BIOS (at UH14) and the EC (at U2) accordingly but no changes either.
                    PCH doesn't seem to be shorted but i haven't done...

                    Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
                    by Nagy Daniel
                    Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

                    I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

                    I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

                    So, I generated a table with AI so I can...
