CPU socket tester for socket G1 (rPGA 988A, rPGA 989)

CPU socket tester for socket G1 (rPGA 988A, rPGA 989)

Features:
- Tests each pin of the processor socket individually and the electrical circuit to it for open-circuit and short-circuit
- It can help in detecting bad solder joint of processor socket or BGA chipset and for quality control after changing the BGA chipset
- Compatible with motherboards for Centrino generation 6 mobile processors with CPU socket G1 rPGA 988A and rPGA 989 (for example: Core i7/Clarksfield, Core i7 Extreme/Clarksfield, Core i3/Arrandale, Core i5/Arrandale, Core i7/Arrandale)

User manual:

1. Insert CR2032 battery into the tester (the battery is not included in the kit)
2. Disconnect the power supply (charger) and battery from the motherboard
3. Install the tester into the processor socket on the motherboard
4. If some LED indicator is not lighting up you can check the corresponding pin and the electrical circuit to it for open-circuit
5. If some LED indicator is lighting up brighter than the others you can check the corresponding pin and the electrical circuit to it for short-circuit
6. The LED indicators lighting up with normal brightness indicate that the corresponding pins and their electrical circuits are ok
7. If the LED indicators lighting up with low brightness it means that the tester's battery (CR2032) is exhausted
8. When the motherboard is powered on you can check CLK, RESET#, VCCA and other signals via an oscilloscope
9. Correspondence between the LED indicator numbers and the processor socket pins can be found in the datasheet accompanying the tester
