Yes, that area was pretty obvious which pads and traces had issues, I have since taken care of it since there was no mystery where stuff connected, this board has been through something, quite a few areas on the back needed attention, and the board came with the backplate which would have protected most of this so its been taken apart and then thrown about or something. The platform has been out for a while, I am disappointed that there isn't a boardview anywhere, I would even go through a paywall if it existed, and somebody here has posted boardview photos from a different Asus X870E board,...

Yeah, that is what I did, the trace turned out to still be attached to the leg and the board, just lifted out of the masking so no big deal, the component appeared to be a resistor, 1k or 3.8k I think, didn't make a difference. Running into 3 Asus X870E boards all with the same behavior but I think for different reasons, responds to the power button, draws 2 amps, dram led and all rails are present except the 2.5v for ram sits at 0.3v and obviously no boot. I repaired one board with that behavior, scratch that led to a short by the TPU chip, but having a hard time finding the faults on the rest,...

This chip is located half under the upper PCIe latch, looks like it took a shot from a screwdriver and can confirm a small part of the chip is cracked off. The board does not respond the power button, doesn’t show any shorts on any rails, but I found this physical damage and figured that’s a good place to start. Anybody know if this would prevent boot?...

My mistake, it’s ultra

There was a request for this a couple years ago, closest thing posted was a schematic for a different board, could really use a boardview for this, the layout on the matx is different than a similar atx board. Trying to trace an issue with vcore enable, had a high side mosfet explode, the one next to it exploded, cleaned that all up, replaced parts, resistances look great, short is gone, but simply not getting any voltage on the gates on the high side mosfets despite the pwm controller seeming to be intact with no shorts and from what I can tell based on the chip data sheet my inputs are all...

Trying to track down an issue with the 3vsb line, running at 2.4v but I can't seem to find where that is generated, assume I have a bad resistor causing a floating voltage but being an ITX board, I am a bit lost for the usual sorts of 3vsb layouts....

Ah, well there you have it, the pads must have just been scraped by whatever knocked the capacitor, fooled again but thanks for the info!

Best I could find based on the trace pattern of coming off one side and continuing to the PCH is these are resistors, usually 1k, sometimes 10k, but no capacitors on either the left side PCH or the MSI board in this sort of pattern with a paired set that the signal continues to the PCH with an offshoot to ground. Put a couple 1k ohm since that seemed the most likely, board is working, will let it run for a while to monitor but seems like a fix for now - the lack of post was related to the broken 0201 capacitors in line on the signal just below the missing components I think....

I am missing what I think must be a capacitor off the back of the board in the middle of the VRM groups at the top of the board, it seems like it is between a mosfet group rather than part of one, 0805 size component I believe, one pad is ground and the other goes to the 12v coil, not sure if its a direct path or supposed to be but those are both showing 0 ohms. I tried putting in a 22uf since there are a lot of those in the vrm groups on other B550 chipsets, the board posts but power reporting for the cpu shows errors in hwinfo and the machine is running slowly/badly under load....

Got an issue with the 3.3v rail for the power button and elsewhere, it appears the 3.3v rail is this large-ish converter, PU4000 it is labeled, under the bottom PCI-e slot is reading 4v and the board is unresponsive to the power button. I assumed the converter failed but I have replaced it from a donor board and it is the exact same behavior. Passive power consumption is 300 ma, a little high but nothing crazy, no shorts on the 24 pin or 8 pin, nothing showing hot, unfortunately it appears there may be missing components but I can't be sure since I have done some work in that area and a lot...

Ferrite beads, I didn't think of that, insanely helpful, thank you!...

Got a motherboard with 5 components knocked off but I can't find any information on them and they are on the backside of a chip labeled G5 Pro Clock, a 40 pin chip that I also can't find a spec sheet for. Being that these are potentially clock related the values probably need to be pretty close. Testing around the area it would seem that the gray components may be 0 ohm resistors and the beige are capacitors, I can tell that I am missing some of each, one upper right in the group, 4 in a row vertically and one 0402 component below. and may try to guess based on repeated surrounding components...
