Re: Asus Z370-E (Dead)

Update:

For some strange reason the board is now booting. As mentioned before, I had 3.3v at the two power pins.
After some reading & watching YT, I believe this is the start-up process:

[I]When the power button is pressed, which momentarily shorts the pins, the 3.3v should drop to zero because the pins are being grounded, and a signal is then sent to the Super IO chip to power up the PSU & boot up the board. If the voltage doesn't drop to zero then no signal is sent and the board won't power up/boot[/I]

Re: Asus Z370-E (Dead)



I have the board on the work bench and the only components I'm trying it with/without are the CPU & RAM. I have a second identical board that I tried so I know the components & PSU work ok. There is 3.3v at the power pins and 5vSB. I've looked closely under a magnifier and can't see any obvious damage.

I've read that the power up process is controlled by certain component(s) that detect the voltage across the power pins when they are momentarily shorted through the power switch, which then turns on the PSU to supply the...

Hi All

I have an Asus Z370-E that doesn't start. The power LED by the ATX block lights up but nothing starts. When I push the power button or short the pins, the fans twitch for a split second and then nothing. The PSU needs to be turned off & on again to repeat this process. The -12v pin on the ATX block seems to be shorting to ground. I've no idea what this pin feeds, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be shorting. I hoping to find a Boardview file to get some idea of what connects to what.

The board was working fine until it swapped it to another case.

Hi All

I have 2 Asus Strix Z370-E motherboards.

Has anyone got a Boardview file please?

One motherboard boots up and runs, but the USB ports don't work (kind of) on the rear and headers. The USB 2.0 don't work at all but the USB 3.0 work only with a USB 3.0 device and not a USB 2.0 device. I did smell some mild burning from the rear of the case, but not too sure what's failed.

The other motherboard doesn't boot at all. The orange power LED next to the ATX block lights up but when I press the power button the fans move for a split second and...

Hi All

Name's Ian, from the UK. Found this site from a mention in a YT channel I've started watching recently. My first computer was a C64, way back in the 80's, and I've used PC's since.

Until now all my hardware has worked fine but now I have 2 identical motherboards with different problems. They were put in the cupboard and left there, but then I decided to try to have a go at fixing them. Hence, watching YT and joining this site. No idea if I will achieve this but if I blow them up, well, they...
