Hi
I want to get an opinion...
the graphics card in the photo seems it
has a short circuit in the second row of
capacitors (as we look it from the connector side).
the first row has no issues but the second row measures short between the positive and ground rail...
I have disoldered every cap but outside the circuit it measures fine...there are also some SMD that look like capacitors removing some of them the short still remains the silkscreen names them NC601,2,3 but there are also SMD capacitors named C501,2 3
NC stands for what?
I haven't removed every SMD around the rail since the ground plane must be too large and its hard to desolder ( the soldering iron has hard time to melt the unleaded joint.
any help why I might measure short circuit? I believe smd caps don't fail more often than electrolytic and solid caps
