Yes I will try to change it,
but I have also
PP5V_S5 = 0.851v
PP5V_S0 = 0.455v

So I have to change Both ISL U7501 and U7100 ?

Or this problem can be caused by U9300 as it's the only thing touched on this motherboard before this failure.

Thanks for help

The resistance on PPBUS_G3H is 19Ω
The U9300 seems to have been resoldered correctly when I check on the microscope everything seems to be perfect.

Do you get the same value (as PPBUS_G3H) on any big coil (from secondary supplies)?
You can also lift F7140/41 to see where the low value remains.
Do not power up the board again, untill find the culprit...

Ok so I have changed U7100 and problem is the same
Green light and orange light with no fan.

I've Lifted F7140 and 7141 and resistance to the ground of PPBUS_G3H is 16.4Ω

Where are the coils from secondary supplies ?

Thank you really much for help.

So I removed U9300

When I remove R5400 the short is still there on PPBUS_G3H with 17.8Ω

and not anymore on PPVIN_S5_HS_COMPUTING_ISNS

But I've a short on PPVIN_S5_HS_GPU_ISNS => 18.6Ω
There is a short on PPVIN_S5_HS_OTHER3V3_ISNS => 19Ω
There is a short on PPVCC_S0_CPU_REG => 20.7Ω

ok so I replaced U9300 + Q330/31 The fans was spining, no shorts anymore, so I tried to reput the board into the computer , and again no fan , with the same short than before.
I don't understand how it's possible.
Do you have an idea Duke ?
