ANSWERED Has anyone heard of this? Verifing the functionality of GPU on RROD

[hodgie]

i am cummunicating with a guy who explained to me how he verifies the GPU on RROD boards.
This is what he told me:

"Hello, I was probing top right capacitor to the gpu (C5D5) below 1.0 ohm and you have dead gpu. should be around 1.3-2"

Has anyone heard of this? is it accurate?
How do you verifiy the GPU on a RROD console?

....sounds to me like a problem with the flux capacitor

 

[hodgie]

LMAO!
sounds like B.S. to me, but i wanted to ask, because i dont know. I was hoping Martin C would chime in, this is right up his alley.
Im looking for his post on what the Ohms measurements for the Jtag points should be for J2D2 points 1, and 2

Martins away just now guys... Should be back next week
Flashing360 is out and about tho.... He's a bit of a god when it cones to this stuff... Maybe he could drop his 2 cents?

 

[hodgie]

what? WTF! Im just kidding, hopefully hes enjoying himself!!!!

GPU power C5D5 is not bullsh** nor is it a flux capacitor instead of me wasting time explaining it all to ye go here and have a look and you will see the brighter picture as to what he is talking about. >>> Full Explanation xbox-scene

Just for the record johnny... I didn't diss nuthin lol

If you say so lol

 

[hodgie]

Jeez, I hope I didn't offend you. I didn't know, so I asked the most knowledgable people I know.
I assumed the flux compacitor, was a joke, so I thought I would go with it.

 

[diaboliq20]

Nah... Johnny pretty much knows everyting

that only tests the power circuit of the gpu their is no way to really test the edram aka memory on it

lol why would i be offended i only answered the question hodgie because you said it sounds like B.S so i was just setting it straight for the guy that told you.
The flux capacitor part i added as a joke not a serious remark lmao..

that only tests the power circuit of the gpu their is no way to really test the edram aka memory on it

The guy that was testing it for him was just testing it for power from what i see
