Replaced U7000. Getting 5v on VDDA & VDDP now. Still have an issue with PPBUS_G3H as it?s jumping between 3.6v and 12.95 continuously.
I can?t get it to start in SMC bypass either, I just get a fast fan for 2 seconds and it goes off again
Pin 27 on U7000 is a direct connection to Pin 2 of R6991 from what I can tell.
As I'm not getting anything on R6991 I wanted to look at U7000 to see if it is even getting the voltages it needs, but I'm not good enough at understanding the schematic just yet.
Could someone better than me let me...
PP3v3_G3H isn't present on charger (expected) or on battery. Both show 0.0v
Its near on impossible for me to test around U6990 on battery but on the charger I get 5.2v on D6905 pin 2 5.1v on pin 3
On D6990, I get 5.1v on pin 2 but 0.0v on pin 10 enable.
I had an A1466 in the other day that was apparently needing a replacement main board (according to another repair shop) they wanted to replace the board for ?450.. It came to me for a second opinion and turned out to be a ?5 trackpad ribbon. They were charged ?49 ($65 USD) in total by myself...
After the board went through the UC, it actually looked great. Obviously something is bad but all the liquid damage appears to be at the DC end of the board
It sometimes works and runs for a while, other times it starts for only 2 seconds. I?ll be away from work until Tuesday now but will carry on when I?m back. Thanks for your help so far :)
