AmigaOne XE. Need some help.

Hello Amigans.
Time to ask for your precious help!

The AmigaOne XE of a friend dropped dead. The technician that tries to fix it says that the machine could be saved after some fixes but he wants to be sure about some things.

He needs a count that should be done on a working AmigaOne XE board using a multi-tester set on the scale of Ohm. The computer should be turned OFF and UNPLUGGED (OUT of socket) during the counting, the processor should be (of course) on board.

The counting should be done between the two marked points on the photo.

There should be some clue on the multitester's screen on Ohm or Kilo-Ohm or even the clue of the infinite resistance (practically nothing).

The problem is that no one around our place got a working AmigaOne XE board! All my Amiga friends got Micro AmigaOne models. So I wonder if anyone of you can do this little task.

Someone owning an Amiga One G4 would be the man but I guess an AmigaOne XE G3 would also do the trick.

@Morpheus

Sounds wherry degauss, what is this hack going to fix?
The backup battery problem?

@Morpheus

I plan to have mine open sometime this week to put new hard drives in.

I'll check it at that point.

@Morpheus

I have an AmigaONE G4 XE.
I'll try to help you today, after work.

@AlfredOne

Thanks very much man!!!!

@Morpheus

I wish my hard drive replacement project went as well as checking your ohms rating!

There is NO resistance between the two points you circled in the picture. ( i.e. I get the same reading when I simply cross the leads of the multimeter.)

Now to search on booting from a SiI 3114 card!

@Paul

Thanks VERY VERY much for your help man!

Wish that hard drive replacement project to end with total success!
