The purpose of electronic circuits is to control the flow of electric currents, it has been found experimentally that the intensity of various electrical effects is related to the amount of the charge that passes by a certain region per unit time. By controlling this amount we can vary the intensity of these effects. That's why this quantity , which is called the current, presents a special interest in engineering.
In practice, the flow of the current can be controlled by various electronic components. A network of interconnected components that can accomplish a certain task is referred to as electronic circuit.
The current can be measured by an ammeter. A voltmeter can be just an ammeter with a series-connected high-value resistor through which the current proportional to the measured voltage is forced to flow.
Impedance by definition is the ratio of the voltage to the current. Components in a circuit can be connected in series or in parallel With series connection, the same current flows through all elements and impedances add up. With parallel connection the same voltage is applied to all elements and conductances add up. In both cases the location of any element in the chain does not matter
Every circuit design starts with the development of a schematic. A schematic diagram is a drawing where components are represented by graphical symbols and that can communicate information about a circuit.
Before starting to find the problem on the motherboard we will try to implement the symbol and layout components contained / schematic diagram depicted on the motherboard, so we understand where the portion referred to in the diagram on the motherboard. This tutorial should turn you into a fully literate schematic reader! We’ll go over all of the fundamental schematic symbols:

This tutorial should turn you into a fully literate schematic reader! We’ll go over all of the fundamental schematic symbols:
Understand the electronic language. There will be a variety of schematic symbols on the schematic that represent real world devices and wires. A basic understanding of these symbols is required to read a schematic.
Understand ground. Ground is represented by either a triangle pointing down or a set of parallel lines that become shorter as they appear below each other, in effect representing the inner area of the triangle pointing down. Ground is a common reference point that schematics use to show the overall unity of the various functions of the circuit. It does not refer to the actual ground of the earth.
A line represents a wire. Wires are used to connect the devices together. All points along the wire are identical and connected. Wires may cross each other on a schematic, but that does not necessarily mean that they connect. If they do not connect, one will be shown looping around the other in a semicircle. If they do connect, they will cross and a dot will be seen at the point where the lines cross.
Resistor is represented by a zigzag shape. Resistors act to impede the flow of the circuit to an extent determined by the resistance value used. They are used to scale and shape the signal.
The voltage drop across a resistor is equal to the current flowing through it times the value of the resistor (V=IR). This allows the classic use of resistor to divide down a voltage. If a voltage source is applied to two consecutive resistors of the same value, the voltage created at the point between the two resistors will be half of the original voltage applied.
Capacitors are represented by two parallel lines. Capacitors are used to condition rapidly changing signals, as opposed to the static or slower changing signals that are conditioned by resistors. The traditional use of capacitors in modern circuits is to draw noise, which is inherently a rapidly changing signal, away from the signal of interest and drain it away to ground.
The non standard symbols will be of a geometric shape, usually a rectangle, with a device indicator number in or beside the shape. The indicator number should be Uxx. Wherever a wire contacts the device, there will be a number indicated at the connection point. This number is the pin number of the device.

Electronic devices are normally assembled on printed circuit boards (PCBs) that mechanically support and electrically interconnect parts by using conductive traces, etched from copper sheets laminated onto an isolating substrate. The size of the traces is calculated based on their current-carrying capacity and acceptable impedance.

Electric current is the number of electrons (electric charge) that flows through a point in the electrical circuit per unit time. electric current flows from the positive pole to the negative pole, it is because the positive pole has a higher potential than the negative pole.
Voltage is a potential difference that difference is the number of electrons in a material. On the one hand there are electrons accumulate material while on the other side there is the number of electrons were slightly. This is due to the magnetic force affecting the material. In other words, the material into an electric voltage. The magnitude of the effect of the electric current depends on the magnitude of the difference of electrons collected in a material (potential difference) .
Schematics are the maps that provide guidance on the assembly and functioning of an electronic circuit. Without a schematic, only an undocumented mass of devices and wires would be presented to the user or designer. A schematic allows the user or designer to understand the circuit function and become familiar with how the desired effect of the electronic circuit is achieved.. When we open the schematic , we will find the contents of the index circuit components, directions and connections between components, the manufacturer's standard voltage, power sequences ,voltage rail to enhance their production and new problems are known at the time the product is already in the market.
At the beginning of the index page describes the details of the pages on the circuit that allows us to look for problem areas happened on the motherboard.

Names and Values
Values help define exactly what a component is. For schematic components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors the value tells us how many ohms, farads, or henries they have. For other components, like integrated circuits, the value may just be the name of the chip. Crystals might list their oscillating frequency as their value. Basically, the value of a schematic component calls out its most important characteristic.
Component names are usually a combination of one or two letters and a number. The letter part of the name identifies the type of component – R’s for resistors, C’s for capacitors, U’s for integrated circuits, etc. Each component name on a schematic should be unique; if you have multiple resistors in a circuit, for example, they should be named R1, R2, R3, etc. Component names help us reference specific points in schematics.
The prefixes of names are pretty well standardized. For some components, like resistors, the prefix is just the first letter of the component. Other name prefixes are not so literal; inductors, for example, are L’s (because current has already taken I [but it starts with a C…electronics is a silly place]). Here’s a quick table of common components and their name prefixes:

Identify Blocks
Truly expansive schematics should be split into functional blocks. There might be a section for power input and voltage regulation, or a microcontroller section, or a section devoted to connectors. Try recognizing which sections are which, and following the flow of circuit from input to output. Really good schematic designers might even lay the circuit out like a book, inputs on the left side, outputs on the right.

The Southbridge is an integrated circuit on the motherboard that is responsible for the hard drive controller, I/O controller and integrated hardware such as sound card, video card if present on the motherboard, USB, PCI, ISA, IDE, BIOS, and Ethernet. The southbridge gets its name for commonly being South of the PCI bus. The southbridge is one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a personal computer (PC) motherboard, the other being the northbridge. The southbridge typically implements the slower capabilities of the motherboard in a northbridge/southbridge chipset computer architecture

The SB controls the system reset signal timings, which are provided in this section.
ROMRST#
ROMRST# is used for resetting the LPC system ROM. The SB generates ROMRST# and
controls the required timing for this signal. Depending on the system configuration, the timing of
ROMRST# may be referenced to RSMRST# or A_RST#. Enabling the Embedded Controller
(EC) will force the SB to deassert ROMRST# with respect to RSMRST#. This allows the EC to
access the ROM before the system access cycle begins.
The ROMRST# timing is shown with respect to RSMRST# and A_RST#
indicates the timing value that are applicable to each platform configuration.

Hand shake beetwen Clk_Gen with CPU and ICH
operates at a very small current. Care must be taken when working with this circuit.
To ensure the accuracy of the ICH/PCH RTC circuit for each specific board design and
RTC circuit layout, the external load capacitance should be optimized by choosing
correct values of the tuning fork capacitors C1/C2.
The occurrence of time-loss under environmental stress conditions is dependent on
motherboard factors (cleanliness, discrete component characteristics, layout, fork
capacitor values), and condensation. If time-loss is observed on your system, check all
of the sources of inaccuracy listed in this document to improve immunity of the internal

operates at a very small current. Care must be taken when working with this circuit.
To ensure the accuracy of the ICH/PCH RTC circuit for each specific board design and
RTC circuit layout, the external load capacitance should be optimized by choosing
correct values of the tuning fork capacitors C1/C2.
The occurrence of time-loss under environmental stress conditions is dependent on
motherboard factors (cleanliness, discrete component characteristics, layout, fork
capacitor values), and condensation. If time-loss is observed on your system, check all
of the sources of inaccuracy listed in this document to improve immunity of the internal
ICH/PCH oscillator to time loss.

Functional Block RTC
Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock (RTC) updates the computer’s time and generates interrupts for periodic
events and pre-set alarm. The RTC also makes hardware leap year corrections. The SB’s RTC
includes a 256-byte CMOS RAM, which is used to store the configuration of a computer such as
the number and type of disk drive, graphics adapter, base memory, checksum value, etc.
Functional Blocks of RTC
The internal RTC is made of two parts—one part is an analog circuit, powered by a battery
VBAT, and the other is a digital circuit, powered by a main power VDD. Figure 1show the
block diagram of the internal RTC. The SB has added hardware-based daylight saving feature
and makes adjustments (spring forward or fall back) at the designated dates/times.
Both the dateand hour for the daylight and standard time are fully programmable, allowing for differentdaylight saving dates and hours for different parts of the world.

Reballing is a process when we lift off the defective chip and repair it by applying lead based solder on the chip and placing it back on the board or replacing the component with a new one while also applying lead based solder on it before soldering it back on the circuit board. The BGA consists of hundreds of connection densely packed together in rows or patterns to save space on the circuit. for mor detil see on this link below :

LVDS( Low-voltage differential signaling) knowing as LCD panel is a measuring point to get know Power requarement present or missing.Missing power on this point may cause LCD/LED lossing the power and can't display .Inverter Supplay or inv_pwm enable signal missing could cause back ligh off and monitor goes dark . Missing +3VS_LCD make LCD video loos the power .BL_EN_CON is enable signal from BL_EN and some of enable signal missing couse no output from PCH .Trace any missing voltage and signal source to found the problem ,try to inject any missing voltage from psu and if they work,we just need to get same voltage from somewhere near to jumper.see on this link for more detil :
