is my cpu shorted? or is this normal?

[liamObsolete]

is it right that LOADS of the caps located directly underneath an i3 processor (on the other side of the board) have only about 1.5ohm resistance to ground.
The laptop is completely dead (no LED's... nothing).


I've heard that some processors automatically short to ground when the power is removed in order to drive out any static charge that may otherwise be lingering inside.

If this is the case though surely there would be a dead 0 ohm short.

the laptop does not power up by the way. no LED's... nothing
it is a Lenovo ideapad 330s

thanks

hi. YES, Vcore leg which is usually a very low voltage can have a low resistance to ground.

Check if your BQ24780SRUYT is working properly with DCIN and out.
