820-00165 low voltage No lights on charger.

Hello. I am working on a MBA 829-00165 and as I check the power rails I only get a 4.1 volts at R5450 Shouldn't this be 8.6 volts?

My problem is that I have no lights on the charger. It seems like I have PP3v42_G3H

It seems like you have 3V42? It seems to me you need to make sure before anything else. Also inspect ISL6259 area for corrosion.
 
This board is actually very clean. no signs of liquid damage at all.

I have 3.42v everywhere along the rail. U1950 pin 8, U1900 pin 13m U3740 pin1, U4650 pin 9, C4820 pin1, L5001 pin1, R5127, U5110 pin 3 and 1, L7095, R8141 pin 1,
When I get to C7095 I have 3.45V on pin 1 but only 1.3V on pin 2
 
checking the PPBUS_G3H rail. At the fuse F7140. I have 8,3v on pin 1 and 1.9v on pin 2. This doesn't make sense since I can't see a direct short.

8.3V is too low and it seems like F7140 is blown? SMC is not running. Check SMC_RESET and SMC_ONOFF. Corrosion under SMC?
 
Hmm. I replied Sunday morning but For whatever reason it didnt post.
SMC_RESET checked R2072 pin 2 0v
R5170 pin 1 3.4v
r7100 pin 1 3.3v
PP3V42_G3H C5003 pin 1 3.4v C5009 pin 1 3.4v

SMC_BIL_BUTTON_L R5181 pin 1 3.42v
