i would remove Q3880, U3890 and R0960 be done with it. i think that should disable the pp15v_t29 line
if you want to find the short then just start with from small until all the way up. no more than 15v obvious. I find pouring some alcohol will help, you still start to see smoke then poke it...
i find these common problems on core2duo macbooks. these old isight/wifi cable has gone bad.
i would check which line is shorted to ground when you plug the cable.
Diode reading with R5052 removed
pin1 (SMC_PECI_L) = 0.048
on a known working board i can confirm 0.706 is correct diode mode reading on SMC_PECI_L with R5052 removed.
i didn't want to waste time, so i had to use the 3330 board that without ethernet,firewire and sd reader because i had to...
i've removed R5052, the low value still remains on SMC_PECI_L. Bad SMC? any more way to confirm it is smc?

now the board doesn't have firewire, ethernet and SD card. Why does SD card require U3900 for data connection??? anyway, to bypass...

however, MRI show CPU Core PECI error sensor error.
where should check next?
ASD OS show error:
2informaticos can you help me with your Medusa, this was the only reason i subscribe again.
i have many 3115 clean me bios files but I'm concern with editing the Serial no,
can the board run without a problem when it doesn't have the correct Fsys checksum?
original bios chip got destroyed by liquid and won't let me read from a programmer.
i replaced the chip from a donor board and booted fine. however, i need to correct the ME and correct the Fsys+serial number.
this is a donor board bios file...
