literally a drop on Q7311, cleaned was powering fans on and USB, USB would turn off after maybe 7 seconds and no activity
assumed Q7311 shorted dead and no CPU (should have measured)
so I replaced Q7311 (donor 820-4924 board), still same behavior
i then tried Q7311, Q7310 and U7310
now no fan...
ok I did Q9807 and PBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_EN_DIV stabilized properly at 4.21
Q9806 was still reading nothing on left pins to inductor
did Q9806 (and a jumper to the fuse since that line seemed unreliable) and now it looks like it's all good
had liquid damage, fixed everything else up to this point
replaced C9560, C7241, C7282, C7281, L9000, C9010, F9800,C9802
R9808 and R9809 but the last two are reading at ~100k in circuit instead of their proper values
PPBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_FUSED 12.6V ok
PBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_EN_DIV reading 6.31V
at...
liquid damage, cleaned and everything looks relatively good except no backlight (image on screen) and probably thunderbolt caps may be shot
PPVOUT_SW_LCDBKLT only 12.6V too low
BKLT_EN 3.2V ok
LCD_BKLT_PWM 0V bad
SMC_LID_R 3.4 ok
replaced U9701
now LCD_BKLT_PWM 3V
but still no backlight...
yeah i know that behavior but this is different
it does it even when in sleep
if i disconnect or connect the cord it wakes up and stays on
never seen that before, what part of the circuit would cause that?
i have previously tried new trackpad cable and trackpads (L2 so take it for what is worth)
i damaged pad for pin 18 SMC_LSOC_RST_L, had a jumper wire but that seems to have come loose again with all the moment
pins 16 and 17 are soldered ok
yes everything else passes ASD fine
going to find try...
this was all in 10.6
i'm been trying to boot up to something higher but doesn't seem to go
10,7 on up gets stuck at waiting for dsmos
must be GPU right? still almost usable in 10.6
no water damage, runs fine off of batt
when you plug in AC the green light blinks on super quick every like 2 seconds
R7080 was reading like 2.3k so I replaced but still reading same
any ideas before i take board out to check R7085 or replace ISL
had liquid damage, got everything working fine except ASD giving me TSOP trackpad error
tried new cable
same error
tried new socket from donor (did loose 1 pad on board, had to run wire)
same
any ideas unless i'm doing the socket wrong?
Have a friend with an older 2008 a1260 who described the problem exactly as below and i have thoroughly tested it to confirm such
i ran ASD nothing technically wrong
it functions properly but boot up takes forever, like it stalls after loading everything in verbose
often times to get it to...
820-2733
no USB
checked
5V into U4600
no output, no enable signal
Q4600 getting 5V on pin 1
R4600 ok 9.9ohm
should I replace Q4600 or should I be looking somewhere else?
