820 4924 that had two very small spots of liquid damage in the u1900 and r5689 area, the rest of the board looks very clean. I have replaced u1900, u1845 c1924, R5689. Those were the only components that looked like they have been affected by the water. I get green light on magsafe, and The...
It was the fuse, I jumped the gun with that question, I just assumed if the fuse was bad I would have 0 volts at J9000 instead of .018v. Thanks for the help
820 2533 no backlight I get .018v on backlight pins, I thought for sure the meant the one was going to be shorted, but when I take a diode measurement I get .570v. Shouldn't I be getting more voltage than that even if the driver isn't creating a boost signal?

820 2610, came in dead, replaced c7771, machine now powers, but will not power on off battery alone. The machine will stay powered on running off the battery, just can't get it to boot with out magsafe in. Power button works to shut down at all times.
Unfortunately I do not have a scope, with my fluke, it says 0v, but like you said maybe hard to catch. Pin 8 on u1950 looks great. Yes, I checked all rails for shorts.
