Yes, to the left there's a kaby lake platform with Intel® Core™ i7-7500U CPU and Intel® HD Graphics 620 GPU. Should I rather use resistance mode (than continuity testing) to test these? There are some inductors on the other other side of the motherboard that can't test (no beep & infinity measurement)....

Sorry, I'm not sure which pins you're talking about.🤔 Here are the closeups :

and i think this is the schematics of it + the mosfet on its right:

Oh I thought I learnt something 😔 unfortunately I don't have the boardview file only schematic. And there's very little writing on the board itself - i.e. not many things are labeled like I've seen on other motherboards that people use to teach on (e.g. on educational YouTube vidoes), so it's difficult no know what's where.

When I touch my meter probes, it reads 0.1ohms. it's a cheap meter though, unlike fluke, so it might not be accurate I guess.:/

Hi beginner here, so I'm not sure of I've done this right 😅 trying to diagnose my laptop's motherboard (dax31mb1aa0 rev a). I don't quite know how to read the schematic, so I'm attaching the pictures of the motherboard and the measurements.

I was attempting...

Thank you so much for your reply!! Yes, but I'm willing to learn! It's quite interesting the more I look into it. The difficult thing is that there's so much info and a lot of it contradictory/misleading. It's hard to know where to start and what's correct.


Aah you'll need to dumb it down further for me I'm afraid 😅
what multimeter settings should I use (I saw some videos where diode&continuity test setting was used for it, on my multimeter- these are separate separate)? Also, double checking, I'd need to use input on the right side, correct?
