Which resistors should I be looking for? This board originally came with a i9 2.4GHz CPU
The donar board which I pulled the CPU from is a i7 2.6GHZ. Is it possible for this CPU to still work if some resistors were changed in this case?
What is the purpose of the donar board configuration?
When the board is powered on I do not see CPU core go to 1v. It starts at 0.2v and goes up to 0.6v
The CPU is a i7 2.6GHz going on a board with 64GB ram 1TB SSD and 5500M GPU.
How do you tell which resistor configuration this is based off the two pages??
When I search CPU strap nothing shows up in the schematic. Do I need to use different wording to find it or does this board not have CPU configurations strap?
CPU replaced. L7211/21/31 is now 0.300v-0.520v fans spin but still no caps lock light or screen activity. Completed DFU restore successfully.
This board came with a i9 but it was replaced with a i7. Do any resistors need to be changed when changing to a different CPU?
PM_SLP_S3_L also had a partial short so replaced U1200 now have 1.8V PP1V8_S5 along with 3.3v on PM_SLP_S3_L but no changes.
Performed another DFU restore.
L7221 is a steady 0v from when board is powered on
