Thank you for the reply 2informaticos.
I get the same thermal spot on that same chip with both ports.
The other chip doesn’t show any heat regardless of which port I connect to.
I haven’t tried UF260 flashing
I have an 820-02016 which initially came in because they said it needed a new battery.
Tested and it won’t go to 20v, just sits at 5v.
Amps go up to .240-250 and cycles off.
Both ports do the same in both rotations
Tested with a known good battery with charge and it powers on perfectly but...
There is no external display. The board seems to power on with fans spinning at a normal speed for 10 seconds and then the fans burst to 100% for 2 seconds before restarting the cycle.
The J8500 reading from S-UEM2 shows pins 31, 33, 37, 38, 39, 40 all slightly high. I've attached a photo
Liquid damage around J5100 and some on the LCD connector on the screen end.
Removed J8500 ribbon as that was burnt at the screen end. Replaced the ribbon.
( PP5V_S0SW_LCD pin was burnt at screen end ) No short on this line.
Cleaned area around J5100, connected board to a good lcd to test...
0.387 in diode mode so I think its not shorted.
U9580 has PPBUS_G3H_SSD0_SNS = 12.5v
P2V5_PGOOD = 0v
P2V5_EN_R = 0v
It seems from the schematic for TPS62180 that PGOOD is an output and the fact that it isn't getting P2V5_EN_R could be because of U9500 or like you say, SSD voltages aren't there...
Unfortunately I don't have a scrap a1534 board but I've been playing around and the board powers up on battery. Lights up gets PPBUS_G3H HS_Computing etc.
If I plug in the charger while the board is powered by battery, the power meter stays blank as if no power is going through it.
Does that...
The good board is slightly different but should hopefully be good enough for comparison
Bad Board - 820-00244
Good Board - 820-00687
