    N551JM - cold CPU , CPU vcore present

    Hi!

    ive been trying to figure out this Asus N551JM mobo problem.

    The motherboard turns on by herself when I supply 19V with PS.
    Goes directly to 390 mA , and rises a bit to 410 mA 1 min after or so.

    All VCC signals are present, CPU vcore 1.7V etc
    NVidia GPU warms up, but what surprises me is that the CPU does not get hot at all. The 3 coils of CPU VCC are warm, but not CPU.

    Measured a bit and taking a look at the repair guide I came to the signal H_CPUPWRGD who is 1.07V
    I was expecting a signal around 3V, but not sure.
    This signal comes from the PCH.

    While measuring the board shut down itself (I assume) and consumption went down to 67mA(maybe due to Nvidia chip getting too hot without the cooler) . Found out the 3.3V/5V IC controller getting quite hot.

    Left a board for a minute, supplied power and back to the same 390mA (and 3.3V/5V IC working fine)

    this could indicate bad PCH?
    Or just a waste of time and leave it for donor board?

    Thanks for any advice

    History of the machine?
    H_CPUPWRGD is ok. Check BUF_PLT_RST#. If present, try to flash the BIOS.

      Salut Piernov!

      Merci!

      Ive checked and indeed BUF_PLT_RST is 0.00V. Diode mode 0.5V to gnd.

      Going to flash the bios and see if something changes.

        Just flashed the bios with a working dump for N551JM with N16P-GX-A2 Nvidia chip. and still the same.

        BUF_PLT_RST# 0 V

        cpu still cold

          There`s a few things wrong with that bios you tried,apart from the extra code as it was backed up as an OTP chip. The boot guard profile configuration is set to unknown ,it should be set to 0 - no FVME. The PCH strap 2 has MCTP as 0x2B it should be 0x00 . You need to try another bios with clean ME firmware.

          If you have your original bios backup post it in the Bios Requests section for the ME sorting .
