    820-3209 no chime

    board came in with high fan spin no brain. once i got to work on it the board started working again it chimed and booted so since it had prior water damage i placed it into the ultrasonic to get rid of any lingering corrosion. upon putting it back together it wouldnt power on. after inspecting i...

    820-3115 no cpuvcore

    neither cpuvcore nor axg is showing any voltage. like i said when i used the oscope i could see up to 16v spikes on cpuvcore so im thinking maybe the thing is fried. whats your take? pin 27 of u7400 is not producing any voltage on a known good i get voltage out of it and EN pin is getting 3.3v...

    i guess i got lucky. board is working fine.

    820-3115 no cpuvcore

    25mhz is present compared to a known good and voltages are the same. no drop in pulse on ton resistors if by enable signal you mean u7400 is recieving vcc, yes it is. Ton resistors are recieving its 12.5v on one end and half a volt on the other. i am getting voltages on u6100 so all traces are...

    820-3115 no cpuvcore

    as stated no voltage for cpu. board had very unnoticeable water damage as if its been cleaned. one of the ton resistors (r7403) was giving a wrong resistance changed it even changed u7400, Q7510, Q7520, Q7550. Checked traces from ton resistors to u7400 and nothing was wrong there. yet no...

    820-3209 ppbus_g3h low

    got this random board had a couple knocked off components replaced n retraced i get no green light and ppbus_g3h is around 1v, 3v42_g3h is present. replaced isl but nothing changed. no green light on charger. i dont have much hope for this thing i can tell someone may have tried reflowing it...

    820-3115 3v3_s5 short to ground

    maybe, ill have to test it but i got it to turn on at least. u6610 was shorting the board.

    820-3115 3v3_s5 short to ground

    i was able to find some shorted components by leaving magsafe on while injecting voltage i replaced a couple components that went to the same line now i do get voltage on 3v3_s5 but it fluctuates a lot. it goes as far back as r6990 on pin 2. Replaced d6990 but no change r6990 is at proper...

    820-3115 3v3_s5 short to ground

    ppbus_g3h and 3v42 are present with a green light on charger. on 3v3_s5 i get a beep at 23ohm and dropping and on diode mode i get 0.013v on 3v3_s5

    820-3115 3v3_s5 short to ground

    so 3v3_s5 seems to be shorted to ground i get a beep on my meter but when i inject voltage my power supply doesnt helkp me find it. must be too small of a short to be detected? what other tricks can i use?

    820-4924 no brain?

    no image theres no brain otherwise my keyboard would have lit up. this keyboard i have only lights up when a chime would be present. i even changed out bios and nothing. im assuming its a bad cpu/pch.
