Thanks for the guidance on this. Have another with what I suspect to be an SMC problem. Will tackle that in a new thread.

Morning. Pulled L7630, short remains on P1V05_S0_REG, showing heat via thermal cam in CPU region.

Great read, thank you. Looks like L1275 is shorted. Also getting shorts at C1280,C1280 and L1280. Before I go too far down the rabbit hole, is this a good indication of a CPU that's toasted itself ?

Just happened across a short at C1420. Pulled the cap and short still exists.

PM_RSMRST_L = 3.32v PCH_CLK32K_RTCX1 = .37v RTC_RESET_L = 3.34v PPVRTC_G3H = 3.35v PPVOUT_S0_PCH_DCPRTC = 1.58v

My apologies - 0v in both states.

Momentary drop (as other pad is grounded) to 0.34v

Apologies on the poor reply form! I'm assuming triggering is grounding SMC_ONOFF_L. If so, I am seeing : PM_PWRBTN_L drop from 3.41v -> 0.34v

Thanks for the welcome! Customer reported machine just stopped booting. No real evidence of liquid damage or major corrosion that I can see. SMC_ADAPTER_EN = 3.39v PM_BATLOW_L = 3.35v PCH_DSWVRMEN = 3.26v S5_PWRGD = 3.40v @ U7501 pin 20, and right side of R8141 PM_DSW_PWRG = 3.42v 3V3_SUS =...
