resistance over c5220 is in the millions
Diode mode to ground on U8100/U7700 found no shorts.
usbc port with UF400 cycles on and off every few seconds. No shorts and both 1.5v and 3.3v LDO's are present
LID_OPEN_LEFT/RIGHT and IPD_LID_OPEN are all present 1.8v
A new observation is when the board alone is on the desk the left ports boot to 20v but the right is only 5v 0.25amps. Tried reflashing UB260 but no change
All LDOs are present on U3100W/U3100R
No liquid damage. Both ports are 5v 0.18a drops to 0.02amps then loops over. At times unplugging and plugging back in 20v will appear for a few seconds. PPBUS_G3H starts at 12.30v then 12V before looping.
Only getting 5v at PPDCIN_AON_CHGR so replaced U5200 after checking...
Arrived with U3200 burned along with blown r200/203. After replacing and changing U3200 from a donar board no change, only 5v.
Noticed short present on PP5V_G3S. U7210 was shorted. PP5V_G3S short gone after replacing but still only 5V on charger.
PPBUS_G3H is 12.33V.
Using 96 watt original...
This arrived with very little liquid damage. After removing C6501-C6503 and C6405 board started to boot with 20v for a few seconds but boot looped and then was stuck at 5v.
Reviving T2 in DFU solved the 5v issue. The machine now turns on and boots into the OS. The issue is when you go to...
Once I am in DFU whats the next step? I have never cleaned ME regions manually before, only used the Medusa programmer to do it.
Does a dfu restore need to be performed to clean the ME region?
PCH replaced successfully. Board turns on chimes and boots now however no image or backlight on the screen. The first three lights come on but light 4 and 5 remain off.
Do you need to perform a DFU revive after PCH replacement??
Before measuring rails a DFU revive was also performed and completed successfully even though nothing ever appeared on the screen.
Should something else be checked?
This arrived with no power. No obvious damage on the board.
While measuring rails, they are all present up to PP3V3_S5
Diode mode on PP3V3_S5 is 0.008. Only 9.6 ohms.
While injecting voltage only U1200 gets warm.
On a side note PP1V05_S5 voltage is fluctuating
Can this chipset can be...
This arrived with both CD3217s having burn marks on them from minor liquid on the usb-c connector. Fans were also spinning very fast at the time at only 5V but 1.5amps. No liquid damage on the board itself.
Replaced both CD3217s board now has 20v but only using 0.06 amps. No fan spin now...
