Both, three independent motherboards each with its own known good IO Board & Flex
Only thing in common between the three is the external known good charger
Looks fine.. starting to wonder if i'm being trolled.
Tested known good boards with only fan IO Board and IO Flex attached, each with its own parts independent of each other. Only common denominator is the charger I am using but I doubt that has anything to do with fan speed.
All are starting...
Yes known good, runs off battery and charger
Everything normal except high fan spin (4.6V FAN_RT_PWM)
Thermal sensors appear to test okay, normal voltages compared to known good board - no visible damage.
I seen in another thread a user with similar issue was recommended to use "MRI" test...
Initially wouldn't turn on , Ran through ultrasonic cleaner now I am here. No more visible liquid or corrosion on board.
Current issues - Loud Fan Spin + Slow / Laggy Operation
Everything Else Works Fine.
From what I can tell I need to run an "MRI" test as ASD is not available for the 2015...
How can I effectively test if Q7055 is bad? It gets the 12.3V in but does not go out, pin 4 stuck at 12.3V . Pin 5 has a dropping voltage.. Starts around 4v continually lowers, rate of decrease slows as it gets lower.
I noticed on this thread that a similar issue was solved by changing Q7055:

Should I try this before messing around with the SMC?
820-3115-B
not charging battery
Irregular readings I noticed:
PPBUS_G3H = 12.3V
SDA Battery Data Line = 3.2V
SMC Reset is Good
Is this a bad SMC?
820-3115-B No Battery Detection
I have noticed:
R5280 has a resistance of 1.5 instead of 2 , resistor itself is fine
Testting at R5280 seems to be where the problem lies if I am not mistaken.
PP3V42_GH3 = 3.4V
SMBUS_SMC_5_G3_SDA = 2.6V
What controls R5280?
I am relatively new, I apologize...
Okay , and just to confirm by correct values you mean same values on pin 4 & 6?
Not necessarily 400-450 until everything is connected normally.
Also just wanted to say thank you for all your help thus far - very much appreciated!!!
Okay -- I reinstalled the same D6950 but left the ISL6259 removed. New readings are:
Pin 4 Diode Mode - .530
Pin 6 Diode Mode - .620
Does that mean anything or are we still looking towards the SMC as the issue?
