Another thing that I must take into consideration is that I did use a different SMC on my last placement. So it could have also been just the wrong SMCs.
Ok this one is back in. I've got some more SMCs (the correct ones this time). And still the issue is the same. No audio. I am thinking the surface of the board has been worked too much and they balls underneath must be getting together somewhere underneath. I have put some solder mask on parts...
Fixed. I had a lot of work and lots of other questions. But I have figured them all out. Thank you Duke.
I apologize for being brain dead sometimes. Overworked, fatigued & stress I start to get stupid real fast. Been on this one for 5 days and finally got it : )
But thank you for pointing me...
I know I need to go back and check my ISL and current sensing resistors. I did change ISL and resistors were way bad. I need to recheck the second set. I think it was around 3.0Ohms, so I assume they were good.
820-2936 Water damage. Have made lots of progress. PPBUS_G3H is 3.23V.
I don't have my 3.3V rail, but do have PP5V_S5. I notice if I diode mode to ground on L7220-1 I get 0.130. I have changed Q7220 and also changed U7200 a couple times. Once I change I do my diode mode reading and something...
I also found out that by lifting leg 2 that it has to be less than 1V, or anything higher it will go to ground : )
(I didn't actually lift the leg, I just removed the whole thing and soldered with all 3 lifted and solder blobed 1 & 3 to the board leaving 2 NC).
Can't you go by the numbers on the chip and match to the schematic? I've been using these piles of chips before and haven't had any issues. I just try another SMC until it works. LOL. But I do understand this can probably cause major issues. Duly noted. I will leave them on the board for now on...
It seems if I lift leg 2 and put 1.5 on it also turns it ground. But if I leave the leg up then the voltages go through. Is line suppose to be 0V on leg 2? & why is 3.4 coming from the SMC?
I see is LM4FSXAH5BB. I just put it on and still no audio. Are the DCIN and flexs differ as well? The rest of my chips are EH & BH I believe. I only have one AH. Same symptoms no matter which : (
I will try to find an identical 000165 SMC, I have 2 dozen SMCs here that match that dot pattern. I just need to figure out which is which.... I had no idea they were different !!! I will try that !!!
I have this MB that came in stone dead several weeks ago. There is no water damage. When I checked the rails I found there was no S4 rail. So what do I do when I see there is no S4 rail? Change the SMC.
I changed the SMC and all was good. Customer comes back in a few days crying there is no...
