Tested known good Wifi board & cable, L3401, L3470/1/3/4 all test out. Have 3.3v on pin 1 of L3404 but 2.4v at pin 2. Without the card it's at 3.3v on pin 2.
Bluetooth works.
Only thing I can imagine is bad C3422 or WIFI_EVENT_L pulling the line down?
Tried good battery. Fun update, disconnected battery to plug old one back in and it stopped powering on altogether. Same symptom for when the customer brought it in.
Have PP5v_S5, PP3v3_s5, but no PP5v_s4rs3.
No enable signal, hence no PM_SLP_S4_L
No signs of liquid damage, no signs of...
Got an 820-3435 that says "Battery may not be charging properly"
No liquid damage. DCIN_G3H is at 16.5v, so that would probably be the culprit in my mind? TechTools & Coconut both detect and test out the battery as being fine, charging at a decent rate. Had a problem where it just would not...
Forgot to mention that I did replace U1950 prior to v-core being present. I've tested it out thoroughly and all tests check out fine. Been running for 5 hours, boots & shuts down fine, all functions operational. CPU gets nice and toasty.
Water damaged board, typical suspects were bad.
U6100 termination points weren't continuous, fixed that. Replaced any corroded/damaged components.
Wasn't getting PM_SLP_S4_L and no PP5vS4Rs3 so had to replace u1900
Now fans spin up, green light & orange, but no full boot. No USB light up, CPU...
3115 board with no liquid damage, only thing that looks funny is a tad bit of corrosion on a BKLT capacitor (C9712)
Pulsing PPVRTC, pulsing 5v_s5 and 3v3_s5, no PP5v_s3 or 3v3_s3.
CPUVcore is at 0.
PM_SLP_S4_L pulses around 20 mV so I don't think it's turning on enough for the SMC to do much...
Is that post liquid damage? I've found the same thing (which is super obnoxious) but I want to verify that it's not the liquid damage having done something to make magsafe 1's not work.
Liquid damaged board, got it up and running but it won't charge/turn on without an 85w magsafe 2. Otherwise it runs flawlessly. Is this something pretty common?
I've tried another magsafe, I've got 4v at ac-in. Solder is good on the ISL, I'm thinking maybe I gotta redo the SMC if there's a short on acok? I hope that's not what it is but I guess it's a possibility.
EDIT: Tested for a short to ground, nope! All good here.
I honestly figured the SMC was at least bad because it had bubbled on the surface, not just replacing to replace. Also I'm not sure how to check for a short on pp3v42 after u6990 since all I've ever seen is "put a psu through it and see what heats up"
Sorry since my last post ive been just working on the board, I didnt meant to leave such a short reply. There was a short on U6990 which would drop voltage from pp18v5 to like 10v, replaced and voltage was steady pre-u6990 but 0v on pp3v42. Went ahead and replaced the SMC because fuck it why not...
Sup everyone, I have said board with a faint light, was not liquid damaged or anything. Getting ~1.75v PPBUS_G3H. Tested Q7035 & Q7030, got ~1v going to pin 4 of Q7030 but 0v going to pin 4 Q7035. Replaced U7000 and still no PPBUS_G3H (any higher). Resistance between U7000 pins 28 & 27 is...
