The general format is supposed to be a flowchart. The problem is that a strict flowchart gets tedious (and is hard to jump into the middle of). Within each section, we try to guide the user from the simple, frequently encountered problems, to the more specific failings.
Proprietary Information
The plan is that motherboard repair centers will be under NDA and have access to proprietary information of Quanta Computer Inc., such as schematics and BOM.
This guide does include some simple motherboard repairs, which are likely to be needed and which may be performed with two soldering irons. In general, these are simple enough to be reverse engineered from the PCB. They are included for simplicity.
Testing
- get repair centers to try this out and see if it's helpful
- get support gang to test it
- look for things that aren't covered, but beware proprietary information (for example: specific motherboard issues)
