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
This arrived with no liquid damage but seems to be brain dead. Fans spin but no chime or caps lock light. Screen remains black with no image.
Tried a a DFU restore since data is not needed which completed successfully but no change.
What should be checked next?
