Re: Faulty ASUS X99-PRO board. Some progress with repair. Need advice\help please.

Thank you for the replies and the information.

Luckily I created a dump file of the BIOS on the chip before I reprogrammed it.

Lots of things for me to try here that look interesting even if they don't end up fixing the power issue.

Once again, thank you for the information. Just what I was looking for.

Cheers,

Jim

Hi everyone,
I am trying to learn electronics repair. I purchased a “faulty for spares/repairs” ASUS X99-PRO/ USB 3.1 motherboard for a very low price from ebay – a good enough price to offset the high probability that the board was completely toast and not realistically repairable.
Initial results:
Board would power-cycle when turned on either with switch on board or shorting pwr pins. Fan would spin for a second or so and a QCODE of 00 would display then it would power off and then do the same thing again over and over. I think maybe 2 times in about 100 attempts...
