[[How to find short circuits]]
 
Inject 1 V (increase if no reaction), watch for hot spots with thermal cam. Usually it's a bad tantalum cap on the PPBUS_G3H rail.
 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33M3krGWAOU Example video] (Taking 20 V, 0 A. Ethanol used instead of thermal cam with 0.8 V on PPBUS_G3H, resistance between PPBUS_G3H and CPU coil is 3.6 Ω) Example 2: <nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZsvvUWUInE</nowiki> (Taking 20 V, 20 mA. Bad capacitor located via visual inspection)
 
Read the resistance from PPBUS_G3H to Vcore coils (coils around CPU/GPU) IF those measure UNDER 1 Ω (0.3–0.8) then you most likely have a direct 12 V short to CPU/GPU. On this board this situation is always a no fix.
