How to Measure BIOS Oscillations with a Digital Multimeter – Quick Check Before Loading

  When repairing a laptop mainboard that does not turn on or has no image, many technicians often skip checking the BIOS oscillations. This article guides you how to measure BIOS oscillations with a digital multimeter – fast, accurate, without the need for an oscilloscope. πŸ” What is BIOS Oscillation? BIOS oscillator is a oscillation pulse at the crystal oscillator that provides the frequency for the BIOS chip to operate. If the BIOS does not oscillate, the mainboard will not run the POST command, the computer may die or hang on the logo. πŸ“ Location to Measure Quartz pin (Xtal) near the BIOS chip - usually 25MHz or 32kHz VCC power pin of the BIOS chip (usually 3.3V) CLK pin or #CS pin if the SPI chip 🧰 Necessary Tools Digital multimeter (DMM), preferably with frequency Small, accurate metal probe Understand the circuit diagram (if available) to determine the correct pin πŸ“Œ How to Measure BIOS Oscillation with a Digital Meter Step 1: Power the main (adapte...

Instructions for Saving a Dead BIOS Laptop Mainboard – For Professional Repairmen

 Laptop motherboard repair process: 1. Causes of laptop motherboard damage - Unstable voltage or lightning: Causes burning or damage to small components such as ICs, capacitors, resistors. - Prolonged high temperature: Damages components, thermal paste peels off, leading to short circuits. - Water or liquid spills: Causes short circuits, corrodes components. - Software errors or incorrect BIOS updates: Can cause freezing or serious errors. - Physical errors due to impact, falling: Causes cracks, damage to circuit pins or components. 2. Motherboard testing and diagnosis steps - Visual inspection: Find burned, swollen, rusted or cracked components. - Check the power source: Measure the voltage of the main power supply points on the motherboard. - Use a meter or specialized equipment: - circuit analyzer (oscilloscope) to check the signal. - short circuit detector, measure the resistance of components. - Check with replacement components: Temporarily replace components such as capacito...

When the laptop won't turn on
