Motherboard Repairing Steps

First check motherboard for physical damage and burt break components .

If Motherboard Dead

Check Suspected Circuits Point to Point

  1. VRM Supply Circuit
  2. Cpu Core Volt Circuit
  3. Any Power Shorting
  4. Signal Shorting
  5. I/O Ic Faulty
  6. MCH Ic Short (Memory control Hub)
  7. PIIX Short


Repairing Method and Steps

Step 1

Check VRM Circuit All Components Such as:-
  • Main Mosfet.
  • Supporting Mosfet.
  • Filter Capacitor .
  • And VRM IC. 
  • Short or OPen condition Any Component first Remove Component From Motherboard PCB with help of SMD Machine .And Check Shorting or Open with Multimeter.

Step 2

  • Check CPU Core Volts Circuit.
  • Check All Capacitor After output Coils terminals any one and more capacitor are short or open. 
  • replace all Capacitor.
  • If computer hang in Bios that mean output Coils are short Replace Coils .

Step 3

Any Power Path Short
  • Trace all Power 3.3v, +5v, -5v, +12v, -12v - Volts Path any one path are shorting . check also power path Parallel Components (Capacitor, Diode etc.)

Note : shorting Conditions => volts and volts shorting, volts and Ground shorting check both conditions


Step 4

  • Signal Path Shorting
  • If any Data and Address Signal short then Display not come in Motherboard. so also check all Bus path Cpu To all Main Ic Circuit Such As=> Memory Controller Data Path, Clock Generator Data and Address Path, MCH, PIIX, Sound IC, Lan Ic, Chipset Ic etc
  • Check All Parallel Components-capacitor, Resistor, diode, coils etc.
  • Replace all Bad Components.
Step 5
  • Input Output Ic Faulty.
  • If Motherboard doesn't on by Trigger then check I/O Ic .
  • First Check +5v operating volts,if volts not come check supply path and components.
  • If volts available in Ic then Check high SMPS Green Cable Path. 
  • First desolder all ic's pin for dry soldering .
  • Last  Option replace the Ic .
Step 6

MCH And PIIX Chip Shorting.

  • First check Chip Overheating If Chip Are Overheat that Means Chips Are short And Non Repairabale 
  • check operating volt and  mosfet and other connected components
