      Do you have a battery connected?

      Is the power adapter the original and rated for this logic board?

      Same behavior if using only the battery?

      Remove the battery and test again.

        mon no battery is connected, power adapter is my power supply while in diagnostic mode as always, same issue with battery attached, NO VCORE at all, so I will have to trash it , all tensions are present but no vcore, might be bad pch or cpu, no clear path for me at least to follow to be 100% is the pch o cpu in this case.... i did all human posible thing to have vcore present but it does not show up. in my attached image all what is having a red cross does not show any vol, but the green checks are present..... lastima !!! because is a pretty new a clean board. thanks !!

          Remove all power -> meter in resistance mode.

          Check the resistance to ground of the missing Vcore rail.

          If the CPU rail is too low in resistance then the CPU/PCH is confirmed to be dead.
