Losing voltages after startup (E0001)
Ok, so in my last thread I had believed that I had a faulty power brick. This has turned out to be false as it worked in my friend's console and his power supply failed on mine. After doing a bit of research on the web to find the different power locations for the MOSFETs south of the GPU, I tested them to see if I could get a reading no matter how brief.
On the 12V MOSFET I had an extremely brief reading from the drain, but not on the source or the gate. I also got nothing on the 5V MOSFET on all 3 connections, leading me to believe that may be the one I toasted. I also used my meter on the pins sticking out of the bottom of the socket to measure the 3 12V pins, the 5V pin and the PWR ENABLE pin.
Now, on 2 of the 3 pins at startup, there is a brief current going through, and the 5V is constant both on and off like it should be. The PWR ENABLE is also receiving the 3.3V it needs to activate the 12V rails. I'm just wondering if anyone can help me find out why it keeps cutting out on me and giving me 0001. Once again, it is a Falcon, and this began when I used a multimeter to test what I believe is the gate on the 5V MOSFET. I may have connected the drain (the clipped middle pin) with the gate, overloading it possibly.
Any help is once again very much appreciated.
Note: I do plan on replacing them if they, or any other component is toast, so don't be afraid to make suggestions to me.
