Injected voltage starting at 1V and slowly raising it until I had current draw.
5V @ 3a gave a 30-40mA draw. Under thermal I was able to see one of the right speaker amp ICs glowing. U6550. After replacing with one from a donor, the board charges and...
No other coils are around this. L8100 is 0.100 and that's the closest in measurement. everything else is 0.3-0.5.
L7420 & L7410 - 0.005 (3.4 Ohms)
With F7000 removed.
C7050 - 0.553
Have a board that came in for not turning on.
Readings on the board are as follows (Diode Mode)
PPBUS_G3H - 0.087 [0.702V when USB-C is plugged in]
PP3V3_G3H_RTC - 0.376
PP3V3_G3H- 0.434
PP3V3_S5 - 0.387
PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 - 0.410
PP1V8_S5 - 0.305
Another post mentioned a failed Q7030 which I...
Have a system that came in for no power. When plugged in, system boosts to 20V. No response from the power button however.
Diode Mode:
PPBUS_G3H = 0.472 & 13.05V
PP3V3_G3H = 0.027 & 3.341V
PP3V3_S5 = 0.000 (0.8 Ohms) & 0.000V
Injecting 1V @ PP3V3_S5 draws 1.6-2A and causes the PCH on the...
After being disconnected from power since the time of posting it reads 21.2 ohms. so seems something is wrong here. Is voltage injection possible since it's not a dead short?
Have a Macbook A2159
Board Number: 820-01598
Upon inspections there was a 320mA constant draw by TPS62180 (U6903)
I removed the chip and checked it and found it shorted, so it was replaced.
After replacing I have the following,
PPBUS_G3H - 12.3V
PP3V3_G3H_RTC - 3.310V
PP3V3_G3H - 3.250V...
