Re: Asus P4S533-E Dead Unit

Even though Im a newbie on this site it does not mean I am a newbie on repairs. ^_^

well anyway even before you posted your comments and suggestions I already did those. In fact those steps are sooo for starters. I did not use a jumper on the PWR SW I was refering to the connector of the PWR SW from the board side. this usually have 3V+. Yes I am using multiple VOM's Digital and analog. I have found the trouble. its a 3 legged IC near the front panel section. Its an SMD goshhh! If I'd replace this one I'd hope the board will be alright....

I tried that sir. As I have said I tried the BIOS on another working board (Swapping) and it works fine. So the BIOS is out here. Im thinking of the Southbridge. I'm checking the PWR SW jumper now....

Nope. The battery is ok sir. Im testing them using a DVOM and LED's.

Hi guys need help here. Im repairing a dead unit from Asus, with model number P4S533-E. The BIOS is good I tested it with another working unit. No bloated Caps too. Visible non SMD Diodes are all ok. any suggestions?
