Hey all i got a mbp which has strange issue. it chimes but doesn't turn on.
no history - no sign of droppage or liquid.
When i hold power button i get chime. fan doesnt spin and cpu gets very hot.
When i disconnect battery and press power button i get no chime and no sign of power.
ppbus_g3h...
hey guys checked balls under memory slot nothing seem loose.
voltages:
everything is good with the exception of ppvcore_s0_axg 0v 0.004 res
under thermal pch is heating up like a mofo.
i dont know history doesnt seem to have any liquid?
after i programmed serial serial was showing with unhappy face. I then fixed fsys and got the smiley face. everything else was good vss fsys serial. again boot to os. serial everything displays fine. i do a few resets ... serial disappears.
OK so i inspected around spi rom chip and im missing r6131.
EDIT: checked another board and it is probably no stuff but it doesnt say on schematics - got rolled
i was testing s0 and found the weirdest thing. checking s0 lines and checked pp5vs0_boot on c7520 pin 1 measures 5v but on pin 2 i got 9.80v!!!!
and also another update. this has big dent in one corner which i did not see before. so maybe some cold solder?
yes all good i reflow and green light AND fan spin.... power is the booting up chime --- but having wifi. i will test and report back..
thanks INFORMATICOS!!!
