Under warranty they usually send out a new board. I guess it's cheaper and easier
than the labor cost. From what I gather the only time they send back the same board is if the issue was BIOS related where they flash it and send it back. This is based on forum users experiences, a different serial number usually comes back. |

Thanks -
I sent ASRock support a request for help & hopefully a solution. Several months ago I lost a USB2 port. Then a few months after that another USB2 port died on the other header. FWIW, both still had 5V power on them. Now the whole board is dead. There are several on Ebay for parts only which makes me think this is a common problem. I have a used board coming. It's an ASRock B365 but a different model. This should get me going quickly. Does ASRock ever repair boards? |

Shorting the power sense pin to ground could potentially fry components (other than
the board) if there is a major issue with the board itself. If you have tried everything you can try that but be sure to remove all components from the board first. While you have the board force powered check for any excess heat that could indicate a dead board. I do not recommend trying with your components installed. You could get lucky and a forced power up may clear power safety checks (with no components installed). You can also fire a support ticket off to ASRock: https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp They may have further advice for you. |

I took it all apart but it made no difference. Also tried another PSU but no luck with that.
What would happen if the PSU was connected and & I shorted pin #16 to ground in order to turn on the PSU? Would that temporarily get me going or would I see smoke? It would be nice to see some of the BIOS settings before the mobo was replaced. I saw several B365M Pro4 mobos on Ebay that were selling for parts only. A few months ago two of the USB2 ports died at the header on mine. Is this a problem mobo? |

Unplug the system from power and leave it disconnected for an hour or so and see
if that brings it back. If not, take the system apart, remove all components (including CPU) from the board then make sure it's all clean before reinstalling just the RAM, CPU and GPU. You can also try powering on without the GPU installed, even if you don't have an iGPU. A dead GPU could also cause the power safeties to engage on the board. If that doesn't work, try with another PSU, even if it's reading the correct voltages on a multimeter, it may be unstable under load. If after all that it still won't work then it's likely the board has died. |

The PC was on all day but when I went back to use it, it was dead. It has a B365M Pro4 mobo with M.2 SSD.
It did not respond to power off/on. Nothing. I checked the PSU & it works & all voltages are correct. Re-connected the cables & tried to power on by jumping the header power on pins, but it did not respond. Any suggestions why it might have just died? Is there a fuse hidden somewhere on the mobo or is the mobo dead? Thanks. |
