Gregory's Server@tubetime I have, in the past, more than once, lazily used a 18650 cell to find the offending MOSFET, removed it, and kept on running the machine minus that phase.

@tubetime I used to live somewhere I didn't have the luxury of ordering from Mouser or DigiKey, so if my scrap pile didn't have it, it'd have to make-do on n-1 phases. But yeah. Make sure there's no gate drivers that could've gotten mangled...eh I'm preaching to the choir here :)  @tubetime yeah normally it's source to drain, but I've seen gate driver/controller Ic failures before so thought it worth mentioning anyway. |
@GeorgeRudolf strangely enough, the motherboard seems to work without the MOSFET. i'll still replace it though.
