Does that Mean I have a short on PP3v42?

Ok another update. I was looking over the board again. I found R7612 looked a little off. A bit of corrosion and damage.
I checked voltages on each side as I did board restarted and then restarted with 500ma draw
This seems to control REFIN of u7600. Not sure what REFIN does. Given the...
Not reflowed SMC yet.
I've been working my way through power rails
I have PP1V05 SUS 1.05v
I no NOT have PP1V5 S0 (Zero Volts)
Is this consistent with SMC issue / PLT Reset issue or is this an upstream problem?
Kind regards,
James
HI All,
Macbook air
Sometimes boots normally and functions 100%.
Other times, fan will spin, with no video or chime.
Board looks good with no obvious signs of corrosion.
Not a backlight issue. Will sometimes chime and boot normally. When it does not chime there is no video / backlight...
Macbook is OK booting and will stay on for hours.
Shuts down (seems to completely just power off) when doing something intensive like HD youtube.
Have not managed to "catch" it yet.
I have tried with a different battery which made no difference.
As far as I know the screen works.
LCD_BKLT_EN 3.5v
SCL - 4.5 - 3.2v pulsing around ??
BKLT_SDA - 4.5 - 3.2v pulsing around ??
I may be doing it wrong but I get a value of 0 for diode mode to ground on both SCL and SDA
HI All
PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT - 1.3mv
PPBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_FUSED - 12.86v
LCDBKLT_EN_L - 12.72v
PPBUS_SW_LCDBKLT_PWR - 12.87v
PPBUS_SW_BKL - 12.6mv
Is my Q7706 bad or should LCDBKLT_EN_L be a low / 0 voltage?
Cheers,
James
Sorry about the delay, I have been in hospital getting my appendix removed!
All good now :)
F9700 has voltage on both sides. 8.4v (no battery or screen connected)
Q9706
P1,2,5,6 - 1.84v
P3 8.07v
P4 8.37v
Computer appears to start, then trips out.
Bench PSU shows draw from .25ma to approx 1amp after 1 second. which then resets and starts again.
Client says it sometimes turns on normally.
Some kind of over voltage protection or a shorted component tripping a circuit?
Not sure where to start...
Hi
Sorry for the long delay. I have been in hospital having my appendix removed.
I replaced U7600, however before i had time to properly check all the output pins etc I must have shorted something because I smelt the bad smoke and now the laptop won't turn on. Looks like it's back to the...
