Gigabyte BRIX | Mini PC | No Power - Repair

[@danyelbuergel]

Hello Jimmy and first of all a big thank you for your videos. I have a problem and maybe you can give me a hint. I have a mini pc with yellow light when power cord is plugged in and when press the power button i get a blue light for a second with fanspin. Do you have an idea how or where to look for the problem on the motherboard? Visual inspection and meassuring didnt give me any clues. :-/ Is there any way to get in contact with you?

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi if you have fan spin i would check the VRM sections of the CPU there could be a short or an power good / enable signal missing on one of the voltage regulator or pwm controller ic.

Did you just remove the bad capacitor without replacing it? Am I missing something?

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi correct i just removed it because i did not know the value but i will add the new capacitor off camera when i get more time to investigate the correct value. Gr. Jim

Thank you. Then, do I have to replace the Wi-Fi IC for it to work properly? Please reply.

Hello, I have a question about Nintendo Switch. on The Nintendo log appears, and after a while, an orange screen appears. I have one more question. I know that if I remove the Wi-Fi IC, Nintendo runs normally. However, if I remove Wi-Fi and turn it on for the product, the Nintendo log appears and an orange screen appears.

Hi i only know that the orange screen is related with the wifi functionality. Orange is a indication that there is no communication between the apu and wifi ic. Gr. Jim
