Hello.
Customer insists on the dedicated GPU.
I have replaced GPU ( moved R8610 to R8612 and soldered 10K resistor in place of R8613 since I am using a 216-081005). But I am not getting
PPVCORE_S0_CPU.
PPVCORE_S0_CPU: 0V
PP5V_S0: 5V
CPUIMVP_VR_ON: 0V
PP1V05_S0: 0V
CPUVCCIOS0_EN: 3V
You were right. I was getting 3V on PPVCORE_GPU_REG_R.
Replaced Q8950/51, C8956 and U8900 and now I have 1.1V on PPVCORE_GPU_REG_R (Is this ok?).
Currently not GPU Soldered. What else should I measure before installing GPU?
What else should I have mesured?
With Q8950 removed I powered up the board, green light but obviously no video. Measured all coils and nothing extrange found. PPBus_G3H= 12v.
What is the normal voltage value of PPVCORE_GPU?
Currently I have the GPU out, what should I measure?
Client needs the Dedicated GPU. I bought a donor board, replaced Q8950 and when turning on the GPU gets ultra hot and the board takes 4A.
I imagine death GPU? Can replace the 216-0810084 with a 216-081005?
Hello.
I just received the "new" GPU, replaced it and now the board has video (I can see the folder) but looks bad. (See attached)
Could it be bad soldering? Or bad GPU?
After removing Q8950 the short is gone. Unfortunately I do not have one to replace it.
If I disable the GPU (using dosdude method) could I leave the board without that Mosfet?
Hello.
I have this 820-2915-B, no power. It takes 270mA from the PSU and GPU gets hot.
PPBus_G3H=1.2V
PPBus_G3H= 6 ohms to ground.
I have 0.2ohm between F7040 and L8920. Any advice?
Thanks!
After measuring what you mentioned I noticed I have 0.2ohm to ground on L7320 and L7310
-PPVCC_S0_CPU_PH2: I have 1.7v for 40mS.
Dead CPU? :/
Should I try Inject voltage?
Ultrasonic cleaner?
Hello,
I have this 00165
Initial status:
-Liquid damage around R7523, R7520 and R7521 (Close to U7501).
-PP3V42_G3H shorted to ground due to bad SMC.
Repairs:
-R7523, R7520 and R7521: replaced
-SMC Replaced
Current Status
-PP3V42_G3H: 3.42V
-PPBUS_G3H: 8.60V
-PP3V3_S5_REG_R: 3.3V...
Hello!
I couldnt detect any USB activity, I tried to start on safe mode with its keyboard and with an USB keboard and nothing happened.
I reballed U8400 but I have the same issue, turns on, chimes but no video.
Tried safe mode and nothing happened.
Is there anything else I could measure...
