14 years ago --- Quote Start --- This information is inconsistent. If an ohm-meter indicates 0-Ohms between the core voltage and ground, then its a short, and you would not see a voltage when you turn the supply on. (You be making the impedance measurement with the power off). --- Quote End --- What I meant about 0-ohms was just measuring the 3.3V-rail alone, from one end to the other. If I go 3.3V-to-ground, it's kind of weird. The reading starts at 0.5-Mohms and slowly climbs up, until displaying Overload. I guess that means I have a really weak short between 3.3 and ground? Probably another sign the chip is busted. Thank you very much. I'll suck it up and buy a new one now :/
