>Starting in SMC bypass suppose a problem with a SMC sensor (pages 44-46); check AVREF_SMC first.
AVREF_SMC = 3.3V
>When started, check for USB activity; don't waste time checking backlight yet.
Did not check USB activity yet; checked activity on SPI CS line - always high.
New observation...
Ok, got weird results in SMC bypass.
1. First attempt it started right away, fans spinning 100%
2. Second attempt - It started at like after ~4-5 cycles (power up cycles).
PPVCC_S0_CPU = 1.8
PP1V5R1V35_GPU_REG_R = 1.5
P1V05_S0GPU_REG_R = 1.05
PP1V05_S0_REG_R = 1.05
PP1V35_S3,
PP5V_S4 = 5...
Thank you! :)
> Be sure to correctly rebuild the broken trace; where you've found the shorted cap.
There were no broken traces, looks like cap was connected only to via.
> Check all SPI Bus Termination resistors and their traces.
There is 3.3k resistor at CS, no external resistors on other...
Hi,
I've got a 820-3787-A board which is stuck in power cycle. PP3V3_S5 is fine. Got orange led on the magsafe plug.
With multimeter I could see that PP1V5_S0, PPVCC_S0_CPU, PP1V5R1V35_GPU_REG_R, P1V05_S0GPU_REG_R, PP1V05_S0_REG_R, PP1V35_S3, PP5V_S4 are trying to start up, there is a voltage...
