The closer you get to any short the less Ohms you'll pull. Doesn't matter if it's a partial short or not. A apparently you don't a thermal camera. I've found 40 millivolt short with mine. A good one with high resolution is worth the money. I do enjoy your channel, I've watched all your videos and learned
Yes, I actually borrowed a Fluke meter to see if it could provide more granular resistance measurements, but every one of my multimeters measured 37ohms (resistance) and 0.034V (diode) at all points. I guess the key would be to have a multimeter that could give high enough resolution to measure the resistance of the inductors. Thanks for your contribution.
Another great tutorial, thank you. I would have started measuring the empty pads, because there could be a chance that the ic ok and an output is pulling it down
As usual, I think you're videos are absolutely spot on, I recommend that you get yourself a thermal camera to save time , have a look at the p2 pro thermal camera on youtube, I got one and it's very sensitive you should be able to easily see the thermal at 5 volts 100 milliamps. ❤🎉
A pointer for you, do not inject 5V into a 5V rail because it's a 5V rail. On these types of devices you want to be injecting 1V maximum on any power rail in case it's shorted through to something like the PCH, CPU or memory power well.
You have a very methodical and low-risk process, which serves you well. I love to see the schematic and your unique version of the board view. It really helps to visualize the circuit and paths on the board.

It's less amps not less homs😂
I got the p2 pro thermal camera, your right

I will check out the p2 camera, thank you.
Big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. New video coming this weekend.
EXCELLENT VIDEO AS ALWAYS !
Brilliant fault finding, thank you for the content, I really enjoy how you structure the videos. Thank you

Nice work Bro.
Excellent video .... learned much from it , Thanks
