I tried and yes, that's exactly what happens if I invert and test again, and again, and again... I can spend all day hearing those short beeps hehe
Mesmerizing, ain't it! :laugh1:
About the cap... there are many caps that sit between 5V and GND, decoupling caps I think they are, so ok, If that's expected then I'll need to continue searching somewhere else for the trapdoor issue.
1 cap, many caps.... doesn't mater. What that tells you is that you don't have a short anywhere between the two points you had your leads on. That's a good thing.
This machine had an A501 whose battery went mad and the acid affected even the motherboard, so I think chances are high some trace or component got damaged, hopefully I'll find the problem soon.
BINGO! You'll find it!
Schematics are your friend.
