Hey guys working on this 15 in retina which looks like it was sodomized by another shop. I noticed that pbus voltage was 1.6v at charger phase at u7100, I checked my current sense resistors all seem good with normal readings 5v is at input pins of u7100 ac in is at normal 4v at pin 3 dc in is...
Thanks for the advice Duke! Mark this one as solved i was missing a rail just as you said. Turns out i was missing PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT which comes from U7300, that was missing MEMVTT_EN signal that comes from Q3250 pin 5. Turns out the MEMVTT_EN_L signal was high due to Q3200 not opening the source...
100% right Duke 0.050 v at ALL_SYS. I did a compare with a good working board at Q7950 i also replaced Q7950 and have the same result i'm a little confused because the readings are not too far off. Where should i look from here?
