connected the speaker already,definitely no chime.
it looks perfectly fine and no one ever touched. saw a point or two with green stuffs around the board, but really can be moisture i think
Hi
Im having a 820-3115 board. all voltages present, but no video or image on screen. not the no back light ,but no image.
when plug in usb mouse, the light is up.
no beeps, no chime, can't find liquid spilled. where should i start?
thanks
LOL, problem found. not the chip. you guys are right .something to do with the LDO
VREG3 is shorted to ground.it's C703 that is bad. removed and replaced,fire up right away
my thought would be something in the output side pulling it down. common seen when pp3v3 5v having a shorted sub circuit. usually can be cap in the usb 5 circuit or something else.
that's why apredez told me to check l7520 and l7560, but both of them look fine.no shorts.
i already checked. one is 300 sth, one is 100 sth, (diode mode ,resistance to ground) i have another same model machine here and compared. they all seem to be right.
Having a 820-4924 board with no power. board looks perfectly good condition. no liquid spilled or previous repair attempts.
green light. PPBUSG3H , PP3V42 all present and normal.
missing pp3v3_S5, which has only 0.3-0.4v.
Checked U7501 pin23 vin=around 12v pin 29 and pin 22 =around 1v...
the SN check shows late 2014, I have an idea though, since 3476 is model for both 2013 and 2014, if I revise the SN in the EFI (use a 2013 machine's SN) , you think it should make the ASD work?
Having a 820-3476 ( SN check shows late 2014) a1502 boards.
board had liquid spilled, got previous repair attempts. wasn't professional.
so I ultrasonic cleaned the board, found that it doesn't charge, always show the "charge machine" logo. but never get to power on.
found that it's short on...
not much info got from customer, he said it had been like that when his cousin gave it to him. don't see liquid spilled and from the outside case of machine, doesn't look like it had been dropped hard
