Not Repairing Motherboards - ASUS Maximus VII Ranger pt2 - FAIL2

[@skyoreece9805]

Watched a few of your videos, honestly your very clever

[@Kernoe]

mine is shortly starting and then shutting down and starting and so on. Found the hot part. It is a mosfet IC down at the chipset with my board. RT8065ZQW. It is small. Right next to the 2nd red pcie at the end before the big inductor.

[@SidneyCritic]

It could be shorted, but I think it can also be something down the line shorted and it's over-working that IC trying to supply power, ie, it depends on how hot it's getting. Either way,that's not going to be easy to change, because it's close to a lot of plastic melting stuff, ie, you'll have to protect the plastic parts from hot-air with strips of alum coke can.

@@SidneyCritic It is getting extremely hot right away, much more than the inductor next to it and the chipset unit. The cap under it went hot as well. Removed it. Same error. Thanks for your thoughts, definitely making some coke can protection for the exchange.

@@Kernoe got the same problem did you fix yours?

[@Kernoe]

@@Roman00744 nope. i got the same board for a few bugs. My next try would have been though to just heat the very small mosfet with the gun close to the chipset if there was a contact problem. Probably that would not fix it.

Hello . Did you manage to find the problem ?

[@romanlutovsky3230]

Hi please help me. I have maximus VII hero and rj 45 doesnt work

[@SidneyCritic]

Me too - lol -. I doubt if I can help because I can't fix mine either, but make a video of what it is doing. Otherwise you might be able to send it to Mainboard Medic, but he might charge more than it's worth.
