Repair Sharing Repair process P8H61 PLUS :repeated automatic power-on and off The Initial Problem Analysis: SZ RD & Whale Wang 1 : Visually check MB slot for damage. Check front and back of the board for line breaks. 2: Check if SX2 has 32.768 KHz or not. Check PU601 PIN2 3VSB_ATX and PIN 5VSB, OR1 PIN1 3VSB_ATX, OR6 PIN1 5VSB_ATX are normal. 3: Install CPU testing tool and port 80 debug card and power-on MB. MB halts at all dots and automatically shuts down. After installing CPU, the problem is the same. 4: P7/P8 shut down repeatedly analysis: PCH integrates ME (Management Engine Management Engine). ME is an independent microcontroller. It is independent of the CPU to read the ME module in the BIOS. If ME working conditions are not normal or there is error when detecting ME information, it will appear as auto power shut down, and then every few seconds will automatically power-on and down repeatedly. A. BIOS information is incorrect, and will lead to repeated automatic power-on and off. Some problems of all dot also due to BIOS (P5 is different); B. SIO detection of 12V, 5V, 3V, VCORE error; C. PCH voltage or frequency error; D. The bus between CPU and PCH has break lines; E. Power Sequence error. For example APWROK (MEPWROK) error, VCORE internal timing error.

Check ASP1000RM OCP, OVP, UVP part. P_VCORE_OCSET_10 voltage only has 280mV. (normal is 1.9V~2.1V). Try to remove PR38 and PR39, and check the impedance are normal. Remove PC14 and check the capacitor is abnormal. PC14 of two sides are short together. After exchange PC14, MB runs OK.
