Board repair is all very new to me, so be easy on me please.
I've been tinkering around with fixing consoles and decided I would try my hand in graphics card repairs since I have a strong interest in them.
Here's my problem.
I got this sapphire nitro vega 64 card and it has many shorts across the board.
All 4 fuses after the pcie power supply connectors were blown and inductors after we're shorted to ground.
I managed to eliminate that short by removing a few mosfets.
All inductors at the mosfets are still reading as a short, except the memory, which is reading around 41 ohms.
I tried removing the rest of the mosfets hoping to eliminate any short on that power rail.
My problem is, I still have a short reading on the 1R0 inductor and the 2r2 inductor.
I have tried applying voltage to the card and can not find any "hotspots".
I am currently at a loss on where to look for this short.
Any help would be appreciated.
