I did a visual inspection and found one IC that is burnt.

It appears the power adaptor malfunctioned and provided over voltage.

However, I could not find where I can buy it.

Does anyone know about this part?

The HDMI port of my NUC came off the motherboard, it seems the weld was not good.

I visually inspected the the motherboard and I can not see any damage.

Also I managed to remote the pc with teamviewer, so all the rest seems to be working fine.

Do you know where can I buy a new HDMI (mini) port for NUC5i7RYH ?

I know a bit of welding but it would be great if someone can help me with best practices or advice on how to do this successfully.

Thanks in advance!

I am really grateful for your quick answer! I am attaching to this message a couple of pictures, hopefully they are of any help. If not please let me know, more than happy to upload more. Also I am based in London.

In regards to the weld, besides the 4 main pins, how do I need to handle the micro pins. Do I need to weld them as well? Or they just need to be in contact. I am bit worried about misalignment or false contact.

Thanks again for your help!

Since Asus took over the support for Intel NUCs they don't do expired-warranty-repairs only one-for-one swaps for Intel products under warranty in HKSAR.

• Moving BIOS Jumper PIN from 1/2 to 2/3.
• Unplugging / Replacing CMOS battery
• Removing SSD / Removing RAM / Only using RAM in 1 slot / Only using one RAM in other slot
• Downloading latest firmware onto USB stick (but can never get the USB stick to basically load the BIOS recovery)
• Long pressing the power button with the CMOS battery disconnected to discharge
• Tried using miniDP to DP on one monitor, and mini-HDMI to HDMI on a TV.

Additional Info:

I managed to get in BIOS once (not quite sure of exact steps) but I reset to defaults / F9 and saved, but still nothing then worked - still froze on NUC logo screen.

One time I managed to get to the GRUB menu and it launched into booting Linux Mint but it got a Kernel Panic.

Sometimes the CPU fan spins / sometimes it does not. Sometimes it won't POST at all (slow flashing light). Sometimes it's showing a solid blue light but nothing at all on the screen.

Sometimes the F2 Setup / F7 text appears in bottom right hand corner of logo screen, but can't replicate this many times.

Sometimes with the USB stick in the port, it will say "not bootable medium" (the USB is FAT32 formatted with MBR).

As further background, I was using the NUC with a GRUB menu (Windows 10, Linux Mint and Batocera) - Linux Mint defaulting after 5 seconds if nothing selected. Everything working without issue until I changed that one setting in BIOS!

I think essentially the NVRAM is now in a bad place, and the Boot Order is completely screwed / some kind of partially reset but not fully reset stage or something crazy.....but I cannot find for the life of me find a definitive way to reversing this issue.

I feel like I have verified all the components - CPU, RAM, SSD, Wifi Card are all still working, but the BIOS / NVRAM is corrupt.

Any help would be appreciated - some kind of final checklist or correct order to salvaging this.

Thanks!

Do you know what’s a compatible replacement fan for this model? I couldn’t find one through obvious searching.

Drivers are up to date. While trying to install windows 10 it hets to abpit 12% each time and shuts down. I tried to install linux and it shuts down after about 30 secs of install.

Any thoughts?
