Forum rules: Click here to view the forum rules
- Topic title should contain: the device's manufacturer, full model and the brief description of problem.
- Topic message should contain: the PCB marking code (required in case of hardware repairs), an extended description of problem, things you have checked/replaced/measured, your conclusions and the question. If you are not able to find the PCB marking code, please read THIS TOPIC. If you still cannot locate the PCB markings, please upload a clean, both-side photos of the mainboard - it is required to remove any films, modules or brackets possibly covering these markings.
- Before posting a new topic please read all topics in TRAININGS subforum and make a preliminary diagnostic based on the content of those trainings.
- Uploading of any complete schematics, BIOS / firmware files or any other kind of documentation, or linking to 3rd party websites with such files, is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. You can only upload the small portion of documentation or, link to BIOS file on UNVERIFIED BIOS FILES subforum, which simplifies the diagnostics/repair. You are not allowed to upload more then one complete page of instruction/schematic per single topic. The file you upload must not contain any watermarks, "confidential" markings, links or email addresses and cannot be password-protected.
- It is only permitted to describe one faulty device per single topic - you should always open a new topic for each subsequent device.
- Requesting of the full schematics, BoardView files, BIOS files or any other kind of documentation is NOT ALLOWED in this subforum. If you need to ask for any of these, you should open a new topic in DOCUMENTATION/BIOS REQUEST subforum.

Sorry, but your pictures are not clear at all and are more or less useless for further diagnostics.
We are interested in a quality sharp picture of the marked area with clearly visible copper traces and vias on the board.
By the way, it's not necessary to post a picture of 1/4 of the entire board, we are only interested in the 5x5cm area, as marked with a yellow rectangle in post #22.

These pictures are better.
It seems there is a short circuit between the layers somewhere inside the PCB board.
Cut the copper trace on the board as shown in the picture below and remeasure the voltages to ground on both pins of resistor PR504. The board is multi-layer, so be careful to not cut too deep (cut the top copper layer only).

So that means something is wrong with the signal line "MAINPWON". It pulls the line "5V_3V_EN" to the low state).
psikus123 wrote:Czy mogę montować PU502 i próbować uruchamianie płyty?Yes, you can, but the board will not work as the signal "MAINPWON" is interrupted now.
- Restore the cut copper trace - you can solder a 0Ω resistor to the place of PR505.
- Remove the transistor Q1 from the board and check if 3V is still present on pin 12 of chip PU502.
