No luck, no image on test screen, no usb activity. Is all hope lost?
Student customer concerned about loss of data for university work so what percentage chance do you think 076-00236 hardware might pull data off? Ofcourse I would have to locate that hardware.

I have no other A1706 board.
I will check page 78.
Yes Ive had the board alone on desk the whole time - just occasionally trying back in the case for benefit of fans but I suppose thats a bit optimistic!
Ive tried the BIOS above but still no usb activity, video or spinning of the fans via the keyboard ribbon cable in the case.
Could it be lack of a clock signal or is that ruled out somehow? I have an oscilloscope
Client said simply stopped working.
I haven't collected a BIOS for an 820-00923 A1706 as yet and can't find one on this forum. Is there anywhere else I can go?
There is an initial blink on the 2 snow edition drives in the USB ports at start of fanspin but no further flashing
Fans do ramp up to full after a short while.
I used my CH341a programmer to write each of the two provided binaries to the Flash chip.
APPLE A1286 MLB 820-2850-A OK resulted in no fan spin.
PCT25VF032B_20160916_185643 still got fanspin but still no chime.
Should I be expecting a chime to occur when board is devoid of all peripherals...
I took off all the feedback components U7000 and C7020/21/22 and R7021/22 and found one trace had 2.7kohm to ground. All reassembled, test tomorrow, need sleep. Thanks for your help.
Yes double checked the 0.3v on pin 27
I changed R7021/22 yesterday as 7021 looked ugly before (lumpy) so if they have gone wrong there is something else causing it.
Current situation is I get fanspin with LAB PSU only. On connection initially get green light but quickly changes to orange.
ppbus_g3h has an 800mV ripple but does average 12.6v
