Alright so probably last update.
Restorted audio on that speaker I was talking about earlier, the fault was in u6210, took it of a donor board, now everything works as new ?
Now when board has been fully restored, I have no more question.
Thank you very much for helping me fix this old piece of...
Yes, if I connect left/right speaker to LIO’s speaker connector - everything works.
But if I connect left/right speaker to motherboard speaker connector - nothing works (sounds)
Also sometime during booting up I can hear some realy faith static coming from that speaker
Okey...
so I managed to get adapter to connect MacBook to tv.
everything works, tho sometimes, not consistently when I turn on MacBook it goes full bananas ramping fan to max speed and not seeing battery, tho working of a battery...
Also left speaker isn’t working, I tested speaker it self it’s...
Just checked PP5V_S3 is not shorted to ground, and still orange light.
also I haven’t solder new c4696, since at the moment I don’t have any.
Also connected speakers and I can hear chime. But for now can’t test display cause don’t have any LCD connectors (they are coming)

I have friend who does GPU replacement quite often so I suppose there is no issue with “experience” part (he said boj cost ~25€)
And I have some 820-3209 I checked PCH SN and they match so I will try getting it from there.
maybe it’s worth first trying to reball PCH? Or there is no point and I...
Soo only solution is to reball/replace u1800?
Or there could be dead cap somewhere or something “minor”?
oh yes forgot to say, I put back q5040, and everything is as it was before I removed it
If PCH replacement is needed, how much does it cost? It’s just I don’t have that high tech to do it...
PP1V05_SUS - 0,1V (can’t be present since U7740, C7740, C7741 are missing)
No fan spin with battery and charger, later I will leave battery and charger connected for a bit to see if charging is happening.
sorry for stupid question, I am used to repairing iPhones, but now my son splilled...
