The main of the reason always focus on the component short and incorrect Power-on Sequence. In personal opinion, the power consumption of M930 can be check before the Power on Sequence. Please check the Power consumption of the M930 via power supply in R&D comment. It always judges SMT component defective issue: short, open.
Please avoid the short issue. 3. If still can’t not improve the status, you should check the CPU and Memory status by X-ray machine. We can try to replace the CPU and memory which has updated the firmware with m930w reference version. ASUS Proprietary...
