820-3437. Was liquid damaged around u7200. pin 30 testpoint was corroded out. i replaced the chip and ran a wire to r7280. i now get fan spin for 15 seconds turns off then back on full speed. no led flashing on pen drive.
00165 it boots up and gets stuck on full progress bar.
tried with known good ssd and fresh os. os installs fine, but will not boot.
randomly will boot all the way but will be really slow inside 10.15.
no damage to the laptop nor any liquid.
I'm aware this is probably going to end up dead cpu, but customer wants data and i want to go through all options before I reflow cpu as last ditch effort to possibly get some data.
board is stuck on 5v
diode readings on
ppbus: .460
ppv3v3r3vo_AON - .02 (beeps)
3V3_G3H - .389
I have only one a1502 dead board and i have already used the bios from it.
I checked r6120-6123 + r6130-31 traces to bios chip and jtag and they all have connection and ohms reading is normal on the resistors themselves. Did I miss anything else I should check?
I plugged charger in and they...
So got my new programmer tl866II Plus (i had old tl866) and programed it with a clean file found on: https://boards.rossmanngroup.com/threads/820-00426-a-vcore-present-fan-spin-chime-but-not-turning-on.59760/#post-63082
Did i do this right? Also still getting high fan spin and cpu is getting warm
-sorry i did test for usb activity. i get led light on usb drive but no blinking
-PLT_RESET_L comes high? - 3.3v
-i've tried reading the bios, but it keeps giving me an error. i'm suspecting this is problem since i'm having trouble reading the bios chip. do i need an exact match of the bios...
came in with no power and spot water damage and corrosion on u7100. replaced u7100 and the corroded resisotors and caps next it to it. now am getting fan spin but no chime. i tried with external monitor as well in smc bypass mode.
cpu-vcore - 1.8v
ppbus - 12.57v
cpu is getting warm.
No pulse at 5V coil when you connect the charger? - i get a pulse when first pluging in 5v. after .01v
Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and check for drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L. - yes drop is in voltage
