Yes. Short Removed. i put back the board on the chasis. I connect the charger. I get the chime and then nothing. Its back to being dead.
PPBUS is still 0V.
PPVIN_G3H_P3V3G3H is 3.9V
PP3v3_G3H is 2.2V.
Diode Mode Reading to Ground is .384
PM_EN_P3V3_G3H is 4.7V
R6902 and R6915 Resistance Between Pins is 1 -2 Ohms
Put correct 2.2 ohm for R6907.
However, it is used only in battery mode.
Charger powers up through R6902.
You should check if D6902 is OK; or just replace it.
Your problem may be on the 3V42_G3H line, but first assure to have good R/D6902.
It was working well but one fan wasnt spinning. So i removed the board and saw that the fan wasnt connected ( the one that connects to the keyboard.
after connecting that fan started spinning very fast so i disconnected it and the machine went dead again. Same short as before. Working on it again. Is the fan bad ?
Had to replace the Capacitor again.
Diode D6902 Pin 1 has no voltage again. Replacing that too.
I dont kow how it happened but it got knocked off again. Now the point is missing from the board so i had to run a jumper wire from the test point on other side of the board to pin 2 of R6051. I get diode mode reading of .750. But still it is not working on battery.
C7020/3 is 2.9 Ohms.
Tried a known good battery.
PPBUS_G3H
Without Battery Connected 13.09V
With Battery Connected 12.09V
With Internal LCD Disconnected and external video connected the machine draws a steady 20V and i can see the apple logo on the monitor. But it gets stuck there.
Then ? It worked randomly for sometime with the battery. But then again after sometime back to this. I dont have a known good battery to eliminate if its a battery issue. Any other checks?
Hi, i got a working battery to test. Its not working.
Moreover the machine went dead again stuck at 5V
again i see PPVIN_G3H_P3V3G3H is shorted .
I ll remove all components and check again. If its D6902 then it will be the third time i ll change it.
Why is it getting shorted ?
