It might not be a strange issue. I was testing DDR3 -some kind of 4channel motherboard and it turned out that i needed a stick in A-channel first to make it start, if I wanted to test the C-channel i needed a stick in A and B and so on. I´m not an expert but it seems reasonable. :)
I would like to see a video of replacing the LGA Socket on a Intel motherboard, preferably a Z590 or a B560. Nice troubleshooting skills! Keep up the great work. Love your videos!
I would love to replace sockets! But sadly i currently lack the equimpment to do so, but i will defenetly get it at some point, so that i also will be able to replace PCH´s!
In these 4 dimm sloted am4 mobos you have to install the dimm in the seccond slot for the board to work correctly , if you have only one memory module. if you have 2 you have to populate the seccond and the fourth slot !
This is not always the case. There is a recommended slot to use one DIMM or a pair of DIMMs, however I have had a couple of boards that had a glitch and wouldn't POST when RAM was in slot 2 or both 2 and 4; it would only train the memory by putting a single stick in slot 1, letting the memory train, then shutting it down and populating slots 2 and 4 and it worked normally. This was an ASUS board. I also had a similar problem with a Gigabyte Z390 UD board. In many cases, a motherboard will boot just fine with a stick in any slot. It is only required to populate slots 2 and 4 (or 1 and 3, depending on what the manual says) if you want to run dual channel.
Running a discord is a lot of work. There are other great repair discords like LER or Electronics repair school and they also have dedicated Mainboard sections. I learned a lot in their chanels!
Hi there my Friend! I have a question for you, I have an older MSI 790FX-GD70 that has one of those post code hex decimal displays on the motherboard, I noticed the pins or solder joins are the same on these display modules as well as the footprints for these on the motherboards, Can I de-solder this from the old MSI motherboard and solder it on my ASUS ROG Strix Z590-A Gaming WiFi II? Is there instruction sets in the BIOS firmware to enable it. or will it just work by default. I would like to have this option available for future troubleshooting.
Hi, i have msi x570a pro with stuck rst signal. It does not have ite ic and the atx pwgd goes directly to it(no resistor between). Could it be a bios issue?
It could be a Bios problem yes, but there are many reasons why reset could be stuck, i even had it once that someone left a jumper on clrrtc and that keep reseting the board. Looking for resistance on rtc would also be a good point to look for!
didnt attempt it yet, still kinda scared because its a 150€ CPU, but i really need to get around to it. Maybe i make a video about it, but that would bring the stress up even higher.
Feel so good that I found this video:-) I have same problem with main MSI Z790 motherboard, now I know where should I look for problem.
Dude is rocking a Mohawk! 🤘

@@MainboardMedic I am looking forward to this. I think you will be good at this as you are doing quite well with other tasks. Cheers!
Sir can you tell me how to download the scemetics of anyboard
i really like all the diag tools you have. where did you get that tdp(?) tester that you put on the bottom of the board?
I am using a 12V power supply, that has an amp meter and then use a 12V to 24 pin adapter! Its linked in my description!
@@MainboardMedic also just saw a video you made for this. ty

You should get a discord up and running, got tons of questions regarding the memory testing :)

As far as i know there is more to the curcuit then only the display, so i dont think it will work!
@@MainboardMedic Thanks! I appreciate the info.
ohhhh wow msi b450 mortar max very interesting , sadly not with vddp missing with cpu in socket ,

Interesting case and great repair! Any luck with your Ryzen pin soldering? :)

@@MainboardMedic It's just a money ;) Worst case it won't work, same as now ;)
But I know it's hard to get to a "scary" repair...
Hello 🤝good job 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋
Me like😊
Reload BIOS to fix this kind of issue?
Waste of time!
Then explain to me please how a reloard of the Bios would fix the physical damage on this board?
