Thx for the info, i made the adjust of trimpots ( my psu is aps 270) but nothings change i've heard its could be ci cx099****, reballing/reflow could resolve, i tested every capacitor on the mobo, but nothings anormal, so i was thinking on mosfet : 025n03ms, its strange, the gate is on ground, source receives 12v and drain only have 1.0v, so the processor and rsx only works with 1~1.10v ???
thats the only thing i found strange.
