Im working on a 820-3332 and cant really understand whats going on.
With keyboard attached its starts up, but no green light and fans going full speed. Cant find ssd but boots into efi and pass.
Without keyboard I get green light but no fan spin
Measurements without keyboard
PPBUS_G3H...
SMC_ADAPTER_EN 0v and seems to be shorted to ground 3.2 ohm.
Removed R5185 still shorted.
Replaced SMC but measured SMC_ADAPTER_EN without SMC in place and still short.
Anything else then PCH that can short this line ?
Im working on a liquid damage. Corrosion around U1950. Replaced components in the area.
Some measurements so far.
PPBUS_G3H 12.59v
PPBUS_S5_HS_COMPUTING 12.6
PPBUS_S5_HS_OTHER5V 12.58
PPBUS_S5_HS_OTHER3V3 12.6
PP5V_S5 5.01
PP5V_S4 0v
PP3V3_S5 3.3v
PP3V3_S4 0v
PM_SLP_S5_L 0v...
After searching the board I found R2193 missing. Put it back and have fan spin.
Really hate this messed up boards. Have to test everything else now, seems to be some bad soldering around U7400 and lcd connector area and no chime.
Im back with another 820-3115 board. First time I tryin to fix quarter fan spin repeat so not sure where to start.
No sign of water damage.
PPBUS_G3H 12.6v
PP5V_S5 4.95V
PP3V3_S5 3.3V
PPVCORE_S0_CPU 0V
After changing chip again and still 4v I started to measure all resistors around U7200. Find R7270 was a bit off value, changed and now I have a steady 3.3V =) Happy this is a board im working on when I have no other to do. Good training on soldering chips =)
Still no start. Have quarter spin...
Im back with a 821-3115 board.
No sign of water damage.
Fans spinning at full speed.
