    Re: measuring Vcore

    I think I should restate, maybe I rambled too much and didn't describe my problem succinctly, sorry about that.

    The revised version: ()

    I have a machine that won't power on, and it looks like the board needs recapping. I'd like to test the vcore first to see if it's going to kill the CPU or not. Is this possible to do, and if so, how?

    Re: measuring Vcore

    How is the Vcore on a 'dead' motherboard tested? I have two machines (possibly) in need of recapping, and one of them doesn't power on. I don't have spare CPU's, they're both Intel but different socket types. I tried testing the dead machine at the coils, and got 0.3V with the chip in, and nothing without the chip installed. How do I tell if this motherboard will kill a CPU, or if it has?

    Thanks,
    Headcase
