Would be nice if you could give sort of a checklist what to check when diagnosing a motherboard and what the approximate voltages/Ohms should be otherwise, Great Vid! big thumbs up from South Africa
You should place the camera overhead, so we can see what your'e actually probing... Its very hard to see what your're actually doing, for the 1st half of the video. Thanks for the videos anyway.. Keep up the great work!!!
I do agree with you but I have something to add. Check out BareVids Amplifier repair th-cam.com/channels/9GiteyeFSMlmqyBAt9oM9w.html Sit through a few of his streams and you will quickly understand the basic topology of mosfet power circuitry. Another great topic to research is Buck Converter topology as this is essentially how your motherboard steps down the 12v to 1v and other voltages. If you watch Eli Tech he is going from ground to the gate or collector of the mosfet to confirm that the entire power rail is down. Since there is a short to ground overcurrent protection will kick in not allowing the board to turn on. We probe in peace!

When he says "Hub" he's referring to the PCH (Platform Controller Hub), older computers used a North Bridge and a South Bridge for Intel based chips. AMD had its own PCH called Fusion Controller Hub. Now Intel and AMD simply refer to it/them as the "Chipset", meaningless trivia but here we are.
Didn’t know this, however to me, that clearly looked like the chipset. I’ve been calling it chipset for some time, but I do remember the north and south bridge, even older AMD boards had this because I’ve owned amd my whole life and I remember upgrading heat sinks on the n/s bridges. Though eventually I noticed newer mobos just had one bridge and they resorted to call it “chipset”
I seem to remember most chipsets back in the day after IO moved from a VESA slot of the '486s to the mainboard when pentiums 1st came out, both AMD and intel had a north and south bridge, later on around the time of the via KT133 chipsets AMD had a lot of extra speed with the magic pixie dust of the inter-chipset communication in the form of a dedicated ' hypertransport' bus, but intel was stuck at FSB speeds between the 2 chips , the oddball of the bunch was the SIS630/730 which was a single chipset that had everything in it, and for once it was a SIS chipset that didnt give a lot of headaches... and performed well enough for the time
Thanks. That was actually potentially helpful. It's unbelievably hard to figure out the minutiae of not only everything that can go wrong with a motherboard, but what did, which is often first assessed by figuring out what didn't.
Nice video and hope to see more in the future. Quick FYI: Some desktop MOBOs can have a resistance of less than 50ohm on the 5v line (with nothing connected or inserted). I have 2 Intel boards that show 52ohm and 24ohm on them and work fine. Th is can fool some people used to healthy rails showing 500+ on them. My first desktop board repair had this. I spent 2 days searching for the 24ohm short on the +5v rail. Two days of prodding and marking data because, surely, 24ohm is a short. Always. Nope. Got fed up just before taking the PCH off and tested it. Booted right up, lmao. Noticed more like it after that. If it's showing 20+ ohm and it isn't taking too much current on power injection, it just may be good. Now, here the PCH was getting hot on standby. That's obviously a definite short so look for that but of it stays cool even with powerinjection, test it *FULLY* (CPU, one stick of RAM, all fans plugged in, etc).
Awesome thank you, I'm a PC tech from Bolivia, never knew you could buy a Hub Chipset and re-ball it, and checking the voltages was great, we don't have anything like this over here
Whenever I use a multimeter, I just blow fuses lol. If I attempted to use solder on a small chip, the whole board would get it! Impressive electronic knowledge.
I'm proud your experienced to troubleshoots a dead motherboard. That's the most underrated and comprehensive boardview of that moboard component part operations video tutorial ever so far. But I need help a quick question my friend about my Asus P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard. This is my first time trying to resurrect/repair my dead motherboard. Only certain part I repaired and changed/replaced already the (1) BIOS chip, (2) capacitors, (1) IC-driver controller to mosfet, and (2) transistor mosfets (negative side body) near side of the CPU processor. I have the PTi9 LCD PCI Diagnostic Analyzer Tester...indicates LED lights of +12V, +5V, +3.3V, and Reset are good (lights on) & fan runs means no problem on transistor Mosfets anymore as I double tested too that 12Volts are running good designed to run CPU processor. But the PTi9 LCD PCI Diagnostic Analyzer tester still telling me that there's signal error, it says check the CPU and power box (power supply is tested good all +12V, -12V, +5V & +3.3V) and the other two indicates that RST and FRAME are both Invalid shows in PTi9 tester. Also I'm seeing LED lights of FRAME, IRDY, and SYSClk are off, it shows in the PTi9 PCI Diagnostic Analyzer tester. I have the "Boardviewer" software (to see the schematic diagram of P4P800-E Deluxe board) that I clicked the CPU drawing part and looked at the RESET, looked at the motherboard then tested the Resistor that is soldered/connected on negative side that the value is correct that has no problem. The two pin reset (for the button reset) doesn't work when I pressed the button. If you have time, please try to look on the Boardview in part of the RESET pin because it's not working. I don't know about that FRAME & RST where to troubleshoot that. I touched the CPU processor it doesn't make any at least build up heat/warm. I tested the CPU processor from my other Asus motherboard, it's running fine. What part of the motherboard should I trouble shoot on that P4P800-E Deluxe? This part I'm lost already. I need help, any idea? Great help would be appreciated so much. Here's what I did, I plugged one 1GB stick ram, 3V battery button, fan for CPU, plugged-in the PTi9 Post Diagnostic Analyzer Tester, unplugged CPU processor and 12V-4-pins, then plugged the 20-pin power supply, then turn it on, everything runs even though it's unplugged CPU and 12Volts-4-pin. On the tester it shows LED lights on at the +12Volts, +5Volts, 3.3Volts, RST, CLK, except FRAME, IRDY, and SYSClk. So, it means the issue is at the Power Block of CPU because CPU doesn't build up warm/heat. Problem is still don't know where is the one that doesn't provide either the +5Volts or 3Volts or 1.2Volts. Intel 82865PE MCH Chipset build up its own heat but it has its own original heatsink since P4P800-E Deluxe was built in & sold in the market.

Hey man sorry to bother u 2 years after u posted the video, but i have the same motherboard, something strange happened today, i started my PC and i got an instant smell of burning, i turned off the PC immediately, then i opened the PC to see the damage to the Motherboard, to my surprise it was only that small chip that is between those 2 small capacitors beside the sysfan3, so i removed everything from the PC but the CPU + memory, then i restarted the PC and it worked just fine, then put everything back GPU and all, and the PC worked just fine, i could run heavy apps and games no problem, then i used a multimeter to check the voltages on those sysfan3 pins, all was fine, then i turned off the pc and left if to drain all their power, no battery or power for a few hours while i was at work, when i came back i checked the resistance on those sysfan3 pins, all was fine too, so i connected another fan to that sysfan3 and it worked just fine, pwm and all, fan speed worked no problem, the PC works fine but that specific chip between those 2 capacitor close to the sysfan3 its visually destroyed, i can even see the inside of the chip, anyway now im curious about that chip because in my mind it should be impossible for that chip to still be working after literally caching fire and sending sparks... if u want some photos just send me your email or WhatsApp or whatever way u prefer, i am no bot or scammer, i will not bother u i give u my word, if u can spare some time to give me ideias about what that chip does or why the PC "works fine" i would really appreciate.
Hi Eli. Can you please make a video about the reballing station. Do you have different settings for gpu and mobo? What settings do you have. And please make videos more often!! Golden regards...
Oh, no: why? Are they all really faulty? I have one and It's been freezing randomly while gaming. I noticed that exactly above the chipset it gets really hot.
Have you quit making videos I miss them I had just subbed and really enjoyed all of your videos I’m now working on an x99 board and have found your videos to be massively helpful and very interesting please make some more
I wonder what type of thermal compound was on the chipset. If it was factory thermal glue/epoxy or if someone replaced it with thermal paste. I mistakenly took the chipset heatsink off of my main PC (AM2+ socket...) while cleaning it out one day. Thinking it was just thermal paste underneath. Boy was I wrong and what a pain that turned out to be. 5 days of research and 3-4 days of finally scraping that pink crap off with toothpicks I cut in half at an angle - because isopropyl alcohol was ineffective... Luckily I had some thermal pads on hand that I had bought for my old laptop I'm trying to fix up (from the same era). Put 2 and 2 together realizing it wasn't thermal paste initially and there could be some clearance between the die and the heatsink - and it had foam padding, similar to my laptop GPU. Which required thermal padding. - Replaced the pink adhesive with a thermal pad and my chipset temps dropped from around 89°C down to like 56°C lol. Apparently they're made to withstand high temps, but it's nice to know this old motherboard I had recently maxed out the CPU on might last me many more years. And will be much easier to maintain in the future with thermal padding there.
I also thin if you can adjust the Camera so we can always see what you are probing would be a great benefit for your channel. Also maybe talk about your thoughts behind the stuff that you are doing. for example: why connect those two things with the Multimeter? Or which multimeter settings are best for the specific task you are doing. Love what you are doing and you seem to be a nice guy, so i hope this helps you grow a bit more. If that is your intention of course ;)
Hi Eli, do you have a reference for that POST diagnostics board you use? I assume it is always the same - or do you have more that are specific to brand? I would like to repair an old Intel motherboard that doesn't post also.
Great video. I have a msi motherboard that the cup fan spins but the motherboard shows no display also the pic e slot has no power. What would be your opinion on what's wrong with it. Thanks
Great work! You really are an expert. By the way, I have a problem with my PC. It does not turn on even the case LEDs. These are the tests that I've done: 1) I tried to unplug everything except for CPU, RAM, and case fans. It still does not turn on. 2) Then I tried to remove even the CPU and RAM, but I still connected the PSU to the motherboard. And then, I tried to turn it on using the power button through MoBo. This time I got a feedback and all case fans works. 3) Then I tried to plug the CPU again to see if it will not turn on. Yes, as expected, it does not turn on. What can I conclude here? Is PSU and MoBo still good? Do you think my CPU is faulty? Thank you.
I would love the video more if the camera was ABOVE view point. Hard to tell what you were testing and why. Why prob 1 point when we have no idea why and what you were probing. Other than that. How much is the charge for the fix.?
HI! What training do you have or how did you learn? I have a motherboard that is broken apparently. CPU fans starts spinning and all just shuts off in 2 seconds max. I'd like to learn to diagnose and repair them myself.
Hello...I have been watching your videos for a while and I love your work. I have a Asus AURA 970 gaming motherboard that needs a new northbridge chip replaced on it. What do i have to do to get it to you? Would you be able to repair it for me? ASUS told me that it is no longer under warranty and it was my first gaming motherboard so I would really love to get it fixed if at all possible. Please let me know of any way that I can send you a personal message or something...thanks so much and keep up the great work
@Eli Tech, i have asus rog rampage vi apex mobo and few pins in socket are bent and tried unbending them and it worked fine, later on i had a leak in waterloop and A1 memory slot stopped working and i sent it in repair to asus but they declined to repair under warranty due to socket pin damage even though even though it was not a problem, later i tried to mess with pins again and broke one ( like 6-7 pins were bent and i broke one trying to bend them back again, so i purchased a new 2066 socket and i should get it soon, will u be able to replace socket and also check why A1 ram slot does not work, at this point i dont know what else is not working as i have not used it ( but after the leak i dried it good and it booted fine except for A1 ram slot not detecting any ram), do u have time to fix my mobo, thank you.
Решил написать о накипешвем. Пересмотрел пару видосов твоих: вроде бы идея интересная ( в принципе, просмотры тому доказательство), но не мог бы ты переосмыслить свой подход к записи? Просто нереально смотреть больше 1 минуты/без постоянных промоток. Вот, например, тут в видео в самом начале ты читаешь по бумажке, когда можно просто перефразировать в 5-20 словах всю суть без воды. Потом иногда есть такое чувство, что некоторые вещи вообще делаются хаотично, что как будто теряешься в видосе. Как-то так)

Hi. You sound like you know a bit about a PCs. I have a Motherboard with no Manual for it and it's not available on line. My header has 10 Pins unmarked. Can you please tell us how to identify Front panel Pins using Multimeter or any other technic without damaging the board. Thank you.
Hi, I have a z390 Designare, I had it for 1 year and a half, then I switched my RAM modules, in this specific motherboard I wasn't able to enable XMP, it simply wouldn't post, and when it post, it BSOD or freeze... It got worse recently, when turning it on it get stuck on DRAM and sometimes VGA (both are fine), then I found out that CPU VAXG is showing 0.0v, reseting the bios didn't changed it. CPU socket pins seem fine, so I wonder where the problem is exactly... Could you point out elements to check? I'm thinking this could be a similar problem...
thanks!! but how can know how much ohms should be in there for example how can you know if the normal resistance should be 1k ohms instead of 2k or whatever ? i hope you'll answer me as soon as possible !
Can you help? I have a keyboard (musical), and I plugged in the wrong adapter (took 9v, I must have used something higher) and I believe it fried something (it doesn't work now). I love that keyboard, I've had it since 1989. Could you offer any ideas/suggestions as to what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thank you :)

What is that machine you used to remove the chip? I know little to nothing about electronics but your vids are really satisfying to watch 👍
It is a bga rework station an IR 6000 station
We have a picture!!! Love that line :-)
Oh, wait, It seemed to me, or I just heard "Dosvidanya"? O_о Thx for the video! From Russia with love.
Love the videos and I hope to see more motherboard repairs.
The probe in left hand while measuring resistance, where are you connecting it? Looks to be outside of the card?
Great video. I have a msi motherboard that the cup fan spins but the motherboard shows no display also the pic e slot has no power. What would be your opinion on what's wrong with it. Thanks
What would make the south bridge fail in such a way?
oc
What kind of work station is that? it looks amazing!
Great work! You really are an expert.
By the way, I have a problem with my PC. It does not turn on even the case LEDs. These are the tests that I've done:
1) I tried to unplug everything except for CPU, RAM, and case fans. It still does not turn on.
2) Then I tried to remove even the CPU and RAM, but I still connected the PSU to the motherboard. And then, I tried to turn it on using the power button through MoBo. This time I got a feedback and all case fans works.
3) Then I tried to plug the CPU again to see if it will not turn on. Yes, as expected, it does not turn on.
What can I conclude here? Is PSU and MoBo still good? Do you think my CPU is faulty? Thank you.
lol diagnostics are not free
yes
I been wanting to do something like this for fun, though I beat on eBay in bids. I think it would be fun to try.
awesome brother, subscribed
like always, great job man.
I would love the video more if the camera was ABOVE view point. Hard to tell what you were testing and why. Why prob 1 point when we have no idea why and what you were probing. Other than that. How much is the charge for the fix.?
great video, like to see more.
HI! What training do you have or how did you learn?
I have a motherboard that is broken apparently. CPU fans starts spinning and all just shuts off in 2 seconds max. I'd like to learn to diagnose and repair them myself.
im wondering if soldering the hub with a hairgun would do the same trick
Amazing I wish I had hour knowledge
Nicely done! I don't get the dislikes... what's wrong with them?
Keep it up 😉
hey good morning can you upload a video or a book in motherboard component like mosfets how to test themthis will be helpful
How did you learn to do this sort of stuff. Is there a class you took on this? Is it fairly easy to learn?
hello and congrats for your good jod! a question plz which brand of multimeter you use?i want to buy it
i found it fluke 15b+ :)
We got a pictureeee , nice
Great repair.
Eli Tech, can you tell how to fix SATA3 ports , or what to look for when trying to diagnose it?
Hello...I have been watching your videos for a while and I love your work. I have a Asus AURA 970 gaming motherboard that needs a new northbridge chip replaced on it. What do i have to do to get it to you? Would you be able to repair it for me? ASUS told me that it is no longer under warranty and it was my first gaming motherboard so I would really love to get it fixed if at all possible. Please let me know of any way that I can send you a personal message or something...thanks so much and keep up the great work
Great repair!
The MSI 1150´s died very often. Got myself a G43 1150 MSI full ATX that just went dead.
Hello excellent video!
You're amazing ,, nice job
brate jesi ti naš? :) svaka čast.ti si genije ;)
@Eli Tech, i have asus rog rampage vi apex mobo and few pins in socket are bent and tried unbending them and it worked fine, later on i had a leak in waterloop and A1 memory slot stopped working and i sent it in repair to asus but they declined to repair under warranty due to socket pin damage even though even though it was not a problem, later i tried to mess with pins again and broke one ( like 6-7 pins were bent and i broke one trying to bend them back again, so i purchased a new 2066 socket and i should get it soon, will u be able to replace socket and also check why A1 ram slot does not work, at this point i dont know what else is not working as i have not used it ( but after the leak i dried it good and it booted fine except for A1 ram slot not detecting any ram), do u have time to fix my mobo, thank you.
como dirían en mi ciudad eres un barbaro!!, mean you are great in your job!
Решил написать о накипешвем. Пересмотрел пару видосов твоих: вроде бы идея интересная ( в принципе, просмотры тому доказательство), но не мог бы ты переосмыслить свой подход к записи? Просто нереально смотреть больше 1 минуты/без постоянных промоток. Вот, например, тут в видео в самом начале ты читаешь по бумажке, когда можно просто перефразировать в 5-20 словах всю суть без воды. Потом иногда есть такое чувство, что некоторые вещи вообще делаются хаотично, что как будто теряешься в видосе. Как-то так)
This guy is genius
Hello eli tech, I loved your video, where I can buy a bug card just like yours .. thanks for the video I have a similar problem with your client .. greetings BRAZIL
Love the work !
Hi. You sound like you know a bit about a PCs. I have a Motherboard with no Manual for it and it's not available on line. My header has 10 Pins unmarked. Can you please tell us how to identify Front panel Pins using Multimeter or any other technic without damaging the board. Thank you.
Nice video as always
Hi, I have a z390 Designare, I had it for 1 year and a half, then I switched my RAM modules, in this specific motherboard I wasn't able to enable XMP, it simply wouldn't post, and when it post, it BSOD or freeze...
It got worse recently, when turning it on it get stuck on DRAM and sometimes VGA (both are fine), then I found out that CPU VAXG is showing 0.0v, reseting the bios didn't changed it.
CPU socket pins seem fine, so I wonder where the problem is exactly...
Could you point out elements to check? I'm thinking this could be a similar problem...
thanks!! but how can know how much ohms should be in there for example how can you know if the normal resistance should be 1k ohms instead of 2k or whatever ?
i hope you'll answer me as soon as possible !
Can you tell us what diagnostic/debug board do you use?
Where did you buy your diagnostic card sir. And what model is your diagnostic card. Thank you in advance
When will you upload fixing again?
wow.....u r too good......
good job do you have the schematic for this MB
Can you help? I have a keyboard (musical), and I plugged in the wrong adapter (took 9v, I must have used something higher) and I believe it fried something (it doesn't work now). I love that keyboard, I've had it since 1989. Could you offer any ideas/suggestions as to what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thank you :)
