Well crap. That further complicates things. It doesn't look like anything is missing in that case. Completely lost at this point.

Pin 2 of U5805 has the full 5V coming in to it perfectly fine, so that means U5805 itself is bad... Right..? Or is there something else outside that should be boosting it that i'm not understanding?

P18V5S4_FB is putting out like .2mV right off U5805

pp3v3_s4 is present and at 3.34v on the keyboard and trackpad connector. pp18v5_s4 however, is not giving enough power. I'm getting VERY little from it, less than 1 volt. I'm still in the process of tracing it back to see where it's getting dragged down, but as I am new to this and quite stupid...

Strange... Now when I turn it on, regardless of the keyboard or mouse being plugged in it takes a long time to start up, loads for a bit, then goes to a window showing me how to turn on a bluetooth keyboard and mouse... Does it when they're both plugged in, neither plugged in, or just one of them.

Okay, figured the problem out. Everything I was doing was right, but I just overlooked one tiny stupid thing. I didn't know that a square around something in the board view meant it was a component. I was actually missing R5665. The two pads under it were in such good condition that I thought it...

Odd. Either way, Q5660 seems to be going everywhere it should just fine, but continuity isn't everything I guess :/ I have another board from the same year (though it's a 17 inch), if I were to take Q5660 from that board and put it on this other one, would it function the same?

Crap. Do you know where Q5660 should actually be located?

No Title Might be easier to see in this.

No Title I'm stupid and tried to post a link to the picture in the last post because I didn't see the image upload button. Ignore the link in the last post ;(

There's no place for Q5660 to even go? Well, according to what the board view shows anyway... Does this look correct..? The dots there do look a bit odd, but not like it was ripped out, just like it was never there to begin with.

It doesn't look like there's even a place for it on the board like it was ripped off or anything. Are there different revisions of the same board that have different board view files? That one specific component is the only thing I can't see on this one, but it's like it never existed.

It seems to be going through a nonexistant component. Q5660.

There's only 3 points in that entire signal, all of which seem to be fine. I'm thinking maybe it's somewhere with pin 2 now, and that after it gets over near the SMC on the back side of the board is the problem. Gonna check that whole line of crap tomorrow. Thanks!

Yeah, i've taken the board out. Everything looks fine. He originally was trying to clean the heatsinks and stuff (which he's done by himself fine a few times before), and somehow ripped the connectors off this time. He's been in here before for something else and the CPU fan thing was fine at...
