Boardview archive for HP Compaq CQ42 and CQ45 laptops using the Quanta AX2 motherboard, the DDR2 memory version. Quanta was the ODM behind these boards, and the name distinguishes this layout from the DDR3 AX3 variant. Open the extracted file in a boardview program like OpenBoardView to find components, net names and test points, then probe rails or trace a short. Make sure the board on your bench is the DDR2 AX2 design by reading its Quanta marking before relying on placement.
