Sorry. I had no schematic on hand and wrote that post from my phone in a hurry. You are totally right. There are important signals after the coil that U7750 needs, like FB, so it can't work the way I suggested. I thought from my memory of the schematic that lifting L7770 would be equal to...
I don’t have the scematic in front of my eyes right now. Without the coil I thought the voltage would be not as steady as with a coil in place. But I would suspect it being higher than a steady .3V. If the multimeter would not be capable of measuring this I would have used my CRT. My plan was...
Sorry, I mixed that up with 820-2850. I mean MCP as it receives the voltage from U7750 and I don't have a reference to my measured resistance on that line. So MCP could pull that voltage down, maybe? I'd try lifting L7770 and see if U7750 can produce its voltage then?
I checked everything in that area. Here is a list of all voltages at U7750 Pins. I also replaced U7750 with brand new one but still the same.
Pin1 8,4V
Pin2 0V
Pin3 0V
Pin4 1,5V
Pin5 0V
Pin6 0,87V
Pin7 0V
Pin8 0,32V
Pin9 0,34V
Pin10 0V
Pin11 0,07V
Pin12 0V
Pin13 0,2V
Pin14 0,34V
Pin15 0,34V...
I measured the same voltage with no cap installed at all. I don't have the same board to compare to. My reading is 0.251V to GND on C7771. Maybe somebody has a value/experience to compare it to?
Yes, it is impossible. I can't reproduce that 100%, but I guess what I did wrong was type PM_SLP_S3_L in open board view search, and it shows everything containing that name. Also PM_SLP_S3_L_INVERT on Q7221 Pin 2 which I think I measured... Sorry for the confusion.
Last thing I noticed during...
I used only my Iron for that. U7750 I replaced with hot air, but I removed the heat sink from the board and shielded the surrounding area before. Also pointed hot air towards the edge of the board...
I checked everything around U7750 before I decided to replace it. Everything seems fine as far...
Hello,
working on this 17" 820-2610 came to me not starting with C7771 issue (.3V). I replaced C7771, but still the same. I also replaced U7750, but still .3V. Does that point to the MCP itself, or is there anything else that could cause this and that I am missing here?
Just finished swapping the SMC from my "slow booting" board (from my other post) with the SMC from this board. Good news is both old boards survived that operation but so far no change. This one still wont wake up.
Just out of curiosity ill also reinstall macOS again on the other one to see if...
