       | Great idea in theory. I wish it had more actual content, though.
       | Some of it could also be abstracted a bit. Many troubleshooting
       | and repair steps are common among all ATX motherboards.

       | On that note, I've been trying to repair an old Dell Optiplex
       | 9020M motherboard for a while but am now stuck. (Been using it as
       | a personal thin client at work). The CPU power supply circuit
       | failed closed and fried my CPU. I replaced the high side FETs and
       | the inductors, and now I no longer have a short, but the thing
       | still won't boot and I get a "could not get VID" LED error code.
       | If anyone has any leads or a schematic please let me know! Or
       | even a good discord channel/forum to post for some help.
