I used a thermal camera to shoot what temperate pattern on board. So U9580 is getting warm first then the SSD chip U9400 is getting hot. Check the picture below. there are 8 SSD chips on the board and only this one is getting hot all others are quiet cold.
On USB-C amper meter --> votlage is 20v. PPBUS_G3H is 12.61v. After about 10 seconds it goes to 12.30v and then back to 12.61 stable. U9080/580 placed on the board. Both chips there. Both chips are taken from the donor board.
I moved u9580 and also tested resistors. Then connected charger cable over USB-C meter. Now we have 20v and 290mA on the charger. Amper usage is not moving up. It stays at 290 Ma and then drops to 0 and again to 290mA. The normal boot process should use more power. Please advice. Thanks.
Thank you very much. Please bear with me :). I know I made mistakes and this is frustrating.
Diode Mode (Red Probe on ground) --> 2/L9580 and 2/L9581 is 0.111v. Please provide your comment about this as well.
Also "Be sure all resistors and caps related with U9580 are good, before applying...
I injected voltage into the PPBUS_G3H line and ground it to the screw hole. I started with 1v and it was using 400 mA. I increased the voltage to 2v and it was using 700 mA. Using IR cam, I saw that the area near U5620 is getting warmer. I applied some Isopropyl alcohol to understand the exact...
I checked all coils using a Siglent high accuracy multimeter. Please check the below results. All numbers in Ohms. Also, I have a working PCB and I am checking on that one, the number is generally 400-500 Ohms. Do you suspect something is shorted? Please advise how to proceed. Thanks.
L8410...
Checked in diode mode with ohm scale --> Black Probe on PPBUS_G3H point --> F7000:2 and red probe on big coils. Please see the details. I do not see a 1 Ohm measurement which is direct short. Please kindly advise. If voltage injection is required, please give me a bit more details or just show...
I did a mistake. Sorry for that. The last reading was taken between the ground (screw hole) and coils. I will check diode mode testing between PPBUS_G3H and coils and post the results. Thank you.
Please see the measurements:
L8102 --> 52 Ohm
LA850 --> 65 Ohm
LA860 --> 27 Ohm (Multimeter Beeping Like Beep Beep Beep)
LA870 --> 27 Ohm (Multimeter Beeping Like Beep Beep Beep)
LA950 --> 0.079v - this is switching from Ohm to V
