00:00:00,466 --> 00:00:05,966

In this lesson, let's take a look at the maintenance of the mainboard that causes the file memory failure

2

00:00:06,466 --> 00:00:12,033

When there is a problem with the memory-related circuit of the mainboard, it may cause the file memory to fail.

3

00:00:12,466 --> 00:00:16,933

The fault phenomenon of the file memory is that the code stops after only running a few times

4

00:00:17,266 --> 00:00:23,533

After a file memory failure occurs, we need to overhaul the working conditions of the memory.

5

00:00:23,966 --> 00:00:27,666

Let's first look at the memory working conditions of DDR3 memory

6

00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:31,800

The first is the memory main power supply VDDQ

7

00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,400

The main power supply of DDR3 memory is generally 1.5V

8

00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,000

This 1.5V we need to measure at the inductor

9

00:00:40,566 --> 00:00:42,300

Next is VTT

10

00:00:42,866 --> 00:00:46,900

The voltage of VTT is generally half of the memory main power supply

11

00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:52,533

The main memory power supply is 1.5V, so VTT is 0.75V

12

00:00:53,066 --> 00:01:00,333

VTT power supply can be measured at pin 120 and pin 240 of the memory

13

00:01:01,133 --> 00:01:06,766

So where are the 120 pins and 240 pins of the memory slot?

14

00:01:07,633 --> 00:01:13,300

We must first know the division of memory slot pins

15

00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:21,000

The memory slot of DDR3 is divided into a short section and a long section by the anti-fooling port.

16

00:01:21,333 --> 00:01:25,266

The short side is the head, the long side is the tail

17

00:01:26,466 --> 00:01:29,866

The pin division of the memory slot is like this

18

00:01:30,366 --> 00:01:34,200

Here is the first pin, counting down from top to bottom

19

00:01:34,266 --> 00:01:37,700

The last one in this row is 120 pins

20

00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,066

The first one in the second row is 121 pins

21

00:01:41,066 --> 00:01:45,100

Then count down the last pin is 240 pins

22

00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:51,900

So the 120 and 240 pins of VTT are at the bottom of both sides

23

00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:55,333

Then down, the reference voltage

24

00:01:55,766 --> 00:01:58,933

Its voltage is generally equal to the VTT voltage

25

00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:05,800

The reference voltage is generally generated after the main power supply of the memory is divided in series.

26

00:02:06,666 --> 00:02:12,533

There are two reference voltages for DDR3, one is pin 1 of the memory, and the other is pin 67 of the memory

27

00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:15,800

The first pin of the memory is very easy to find,

28

00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:19,700

but the 67th pin of the memory is not so easy to find

29

00:02:20,166 --> 00:02:24,166

In actual maintenance, we generally only measure the reference voltage of pin 1,

30

00:02:24,766 --> 00:02:27,166

and the measurement of pin 67 is relatively small.

31

00:02:27,866 --> 00:02:30,000

Further down, SPD power supply

32

00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:34,700

SPD power supply is the SPD chip power supply of the memory

33

00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:40,366

When the mainboard self-tests the memory, it needs to read the information of the memory SPD chip first.

34

00:02:42,666 --> 00:02:45,200

If there is no SPD power supply for the memory,

35

00:02:45,266 --> 00:02:50,100

then it will not be able to read the information of the memory, and it will not be able to self-test the memory.

36

00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:54,700

The SPD is generally on the 236th pin of the memory slot,

37

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,166

which is the fifth pin from the bottom to the right of the memory slot.

38

00:03:01,866 --> 00:03:04,733

This is the SPD power supply of the memory

39

00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:07,700

Next is the SM bus

40

00:03:08,133 --> 00:03:12,100

It is a bus used by the bridge to read memory SPD chips

41

00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,566

When this bus reads the memory SPD, there should be data transmission,

42

00:03:18,833 --> 00:03:20,933

that is, there is a waveform

43

00:03:21,266 --> 00:03:25,700

If we don't have an oscilloscope, we can also measure the voltage of the SM bus

44

00:03:25,933 --> 00:03:28,733

In general, the SM bus is 3.3V

45

00:03:30,466 --> 00:03:36,166

It is also very easy to find on pins 118 and 238 of the memory slot

46

00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:39,933

The last one is memory reset

47

00:03:40,166 --> 00:03:43,866

Its voltage is 1.5V and is pulled up by VDDQ

48

00:03:45,866 --> 00:03:53,933

Of course, memory reset is not always a high level of 1.5V under normal circumstances.

49

00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,333

But if you don't have an oscilloscope, you can use a multimeter to measure the memory reset

50

00:03:59,733 --> 00:04:04,800

As long as there is 1.5V on it

51

00:04:05,766 --> 00:04:08,733

If we have tested all the above conditions, they are all normal, but the memory is still blocked.

52

00:04:09,366 --> 00:04:15,966

Then we have to measure whether the other data lines of the memory slot are connected to the CPU.

53

00:04:16,666 --> 00:04:21,200

The measurement method is to install the CPU and use the memory slot value card to value each data line

54

00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:25,366

Or you can refer to the drawing

55

00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,466

Make sure that each data line is not broken

56

00:04:29,966 --> 00:04:33,366

Of course, the premise is that the replacement method has been used to confirm that

57

00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:36,133

the fault of the file memory is caused by the mainboard,

58

00:04:37,266 --> 00:04:40,266

and the mainboard has no external faults.

59

00:04:41,766 --> 00:04:45,033

These are the maintenance methods of DDR3 memory
