Remember as louis says "The customer never lies" Found these little fuckers after noticing the PP3V3_ENET_FET was shorted to ground preventing me from having a 25Mhz System clock. After removing them the board works. On the plus side i now have a nice oscilloscope.
No liquid at all computer is in great shape. Looks well cared for. I did some more digging and removed L7510 and found that the CPU side has a .001 voltage drop to ground and that seams way to low. :( Im thinking its a bad CPU now. Is it fine to inject 1V on the CPU line to see if its something...
Yes i do get PP5V_S3 going high for a second. But no Vcore on L7510. VVC and enable are both at U7400, But no CPUIMVP_UGATE1. Also Between L7510 and ground im only getting 1ohm. Is that normal for this board or is that to low
So i have a 820-3330 board that will spin the fans for a second then turn off for a few seconds and repeat. I think it might be a dead SMC but not positive? Board has no liquid damage. Any help with thisi board would be great. Thanks
PM_SLP_S4_L - 3.3V when fan spins. 0 when not
PM_SYSRST_L -...
I figured it out. The LCD i was using must be bad. I grabbed another assembly and i have back light and a image. Well broken screen image but still an image.
I have a 820-2936 board with no video. After so troubleshooting i found that LCD_IG_PWR_EN is missing on pin 1 of the U9000 chip. This single comes from the PCH. Am i correct in assuming that i have a dead PCH and this board should head to the bin or am i missing something? Also this board does...
I believe PP3V3_S5 was pulsing as well. But i went to go mess with this board today and it magically lost its green light over night and now has a short to ground on SMC_BC_ACOK. This board is going to meet the bottom of the pile for a little bit.
So I have a 820-2879 were PPBUS_G3H will sit at 12.6V for a few seconds then slowly drop to 5V sit there for a few seconds then back to 12.6 and repeats. I think i have narrowed it down to CHGR_AGATE it will be at 16V then drop down to 6V for a bit then back to 16 causing Q7085 to not output the...
So i was just messing around with it a little more today and decided to flip the trackpad cable around plugging the trackpad end into the motherboard and to my suprise it now works. So im guessing either SMC_LSOC_RST_L or TPAD_USB_IF_EN_CONN was broken in the cable and is now a ground line on...
I have a Ayoue 968A and for the price it is actually really good. The Soldering iron that comes with it is mediocre at best so I got a used FX-951 to go with it off eBay but the hot air station is quite good. I have been able to do LP8550's with no problem, Removed SMC with no issue and have...
