I have an 820-3332 with no liquid damage, it overheated during an update that failed, I have tried two new batteries the problem persists. This only happens with the battery in. on charger only battery unconnected the computer boots and runs normally. If the battery is connected after boot the...
wow that was pretty sad, i didnt even realize that this was the board louis talked about in his video until after you said that. The joints on that chip looked terrible; I touched them up and it appears to be working fine. thanks for the help
I have an 820-3332 that sometimes has no picture. when theres no picture I have a 27ohm short to ground on ppvcore_gpu, what are the odds its something on that line other than the gpu being dead? this computer has never had liquid damage either.
im thinking this has got to be an smc issue. even if i short smc_lid to ground on the resistor before the smc the screen still fails to turn off. thinking i got screwed on these smcs. i got reballed ones just to make it easier on myself since i dont have anything to hold the chip as i reball but...
unfortunately i dont have access to that at all. i live in small town iowa so nothing for hours away. i replaced the smc with another and im gettting the exact same problem
No idea what either of those acronyms mean so ill say no. Im pretty sure the smc was correct but they were bought from aliexpress. I also noticed that closing the lid wont put it to sleep either. This could very well be a bad smc. I can try another after work
Yes smc was replaced, but according to the customer it was running fan on max before they brought it in. Asd said no issues found when i ran it last. Ill try again though just to be sure
1 last issue. computer now turns on keyboard and trackpad works, but the fan goes to max and its kinda sluggish. Im guessing sensor issue but i have no idea where to start. 2015 model so no way to run sensor check software
Edit: when i hold down the d key for diagnositic. it says "no issues found".
wasnt the cable, trackpad coming tomorrow. also i noticed that the battery reads 0% all the time in energy saver. i tried a new battery but still the same thing. but im getting 3.42v on both data line resistors to the smc. 1 line pulses the other doesnt. the computer runs off the battery but i...
