How can I verify if a CPU is dead / possibly damaged?
My first guess is to look at the CPU MOSFETs / power regulation IC, and look for a short.
My guess is I want to remove those from the board, and replace it (and any other MOSFET that is involved in the operation of the power controller), and then test with injected voltage on this rail?
How can I test if other power controllers are fine, such as ssd or etc?
Also, when do you generally inject voltage? To test the operation of a specific chip / rail without powering up the entire board?
