    Oh well. No real loss, I got it for free because it was water damage to begin with. Guess my shaky hards can't do this work anymore. Thanks for the input.

    820-00138 A1398, No green Light, no power on after short while testing PP3V42_G3H

    I didn't have a battery connected, just a magsafe. It wasn't on at the time, is that 12v always present there? Or could I have done damage in another way here.

    ASUS K42Jr motherboard short to ground.

I was thinking the short was in PQ8304 ( there is no PQ8301 on the Rev3 board I have here, some of the odd colored parts of the schematic have changes from the Rev2, to the Rev3, so I do some guessing...

    ASUS K42Jr motherboard short to ground.

    I put the CPU in another laptop and it worked fine. So I got that going for me. No charger would stay on with this short, and the only, unregulated voltage was 3.3v and, yeah PCH could be dead now. Thanks for the input. I'll post back when I get some progress, or if it is a full dud.

    ASUS K42Jr motherboard short to ground.

    k42jr_mb_r20_er_1112_1822 search for the schematic I'm using (Rev2 is the closest I can find to the Rev3 board I got). ASUS K42JR REV 3.0 - BoardView search will find the boardview, and ASUS TSIC is the viewing software. I tried putting 3.3v into the board from the DC jack, and then had to...
