Hi,
I have a HP PAVILION x360 14-cd0505sa. It does not power up.
I started the regular way to test components on the board for short and my analog multimeter gives me 5 Ohms on all coils connected to the CPU/GPU (i5 8250).
I listed the coils to see in which direction is the short and it only goes to the CPU/GPU.
When injecting voltage 1.5V on the coils - only the CPU/GPU gets hot and consumes 2.5 Amps.
The question is: - can the CPU be short ?
I am asking because I can't remove the CPU from the board like on a Desktop board and see if the shorts stop.
On some Ryzen Laptops I worked on, the low mosfets of the CPU and the coils to the CPU would always show as shorted, but that is normal and Ryzens work fine.
