Hello, I am starting to get into board level repairs and diagnosis with primarily desktop motherboards, I've got a lot of them lying around.
This one in particular is a Gigabyte Z390 Designare. Standby voltages are present, with CPU and RAM installed the board will power on, fail to POST with the debug light stuck on CPU then the board will continue reboot and attempt POST repeatedly. CPU is cold, chipset gets slightly warm. 5V is present at the CPU MOSFETs but the PWM appears to not be sending the signal to send the power through to VCORE, getting 0V on all inductors. The PWM is an ISL69138...

Hello, I joined to forum looking for a helpful community of folks with knowledge on board level repair. I deal with a lot of desktop motherboards and see all kinds of problems pop up, hopefully common issues will have light shed upon them!
