    I've had some dealings with these boards. Unless its a shorted cap, they aren't the easiest to work on especially since there is no publicly available schematic. There are two coils near the SPI EEPROMS that should measure +3.3V and +5V so you can start there. Check LDO outputs of the converters for shorted caps etc. Thermal camera helps.

    I sometimes just buy a 2nd hand unit (cheap) and steal the board out of that if it's anything more complicated.

      Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF - strange behavior and service_mode jumper not working anymore
      by MMH3
      Hello,

      i have many 5050sff. all of them, and how i experienced over many years for all about 250 DELLs goin through my hands, are fully flashable and can be serviced in any way when the service_mode jumper is set.
      Never ever i experienced problems with that.

      Now i have one 5050sff machine, where this jumper isnt working at all.
      I do not get the normal messge that the jumper is set when booting and a short test with FPT just confirms this. Everything is locked -->> EVEN for reading !?

      The history of the machine is that i used it in my office...

      GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
      by DynaxSC
      Hi,

      I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
      There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
      The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

      However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
      The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

      Macbook Air 2020 (a2179) - touch id not working
      by obelix24
      Hi i have one Macbook Air 2020 where touch ID is not working (it's not scanning fingerprints). Touch ID was working before, there is no error message during scanning fingerprint it's just not scanning on screen you can see only fingerprint but there are no red updates as when it's working. Power button is working fine.

      I've checked boardview and also schematics but i'm not able to find anything related to TouchID ... i have similar issue on a2338 where there was problem with PP3V0_TOUCHID​ and after replacing UT610 it was working but here i'm not able to find anything related to...

      by hopkok
      Hi masters, I need your help.

      I am working on Lenovo Legion 16ITHg6
      Motherboard number NM-D721, no BV, no schematic but I am attaching very closes ones.

      INPORTANT: My motherboard version is with IT8258 IC, that is controlling keyboard and RGB LEDs.

      My problem is on UI142, +3VALW_AG is not stable, floating from 0V to 3,3V.
      AGKB_PWR_EN_N signal is floating too (that is why+3VALW_AG not stable).
      Power LED is not working as well, power button working well.
      UI26 ??? is there any firmware too? Powered by +3VALW_AG.

      Motherboard...

      General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
      by SarcasticOP
      I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
      • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
        • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
      • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
        • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
      • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)
        • This
