While testing the voltages, U7000 stopped working again. I got 20.2v on pin 10,15,20 before it stopped. I ordered two U7000, so I guess I'll be changing it again
Ive taken F7000 off the board to see if PPBUS_G3H fluctuates on the pin one side of the fuse when its not continuing on to the system. Its still fluctuating but not as much (or my meter can't see it) it looks like its going from 7v to 12.95v repeatedly
Replaced U7000. Getting 5v on VDDA & VDDP now. Still have an issue with PPBUS_G3H as it?s jumping between 3.6v and 12.95 continuously.
I can?t get it to start in SMC bypass either, I just get a fast fan for 2 seconds and it goes off again
Pin 27 on U7000 is a direct connection to Pin 2 of R6991 from what I can tell.
As I'm not getting anything on R6991 I wanted to look at U7000 to see if it is even getting the voltages it needs, but I'm not good enough at understanding the schematic just yet.
Could someone better than me let me...
PP3v3_G3H isn't present on charger (expected) or on battery. Both show 0.0v
Its near on impossible for me to test around U6990 on battery but on the charger I get 5.2v on D6905 pin 2 5.1v on pin 3
On D6990, I get 5.1v on pin 2 but 0.0v on pin 10 enable.
I had an A1466 in the other day that was apparently needing a replacement main board (according to another repair shop) they wanted to replace the board for ?450.. It came to me for a second opinion and turned out to be a ?5 trackpad ribbon. They were charged ?49 ($65 USD) in total by myself...
After the board went through the UC, it actually looked great. Obviously something is bad but all the liquid damage appears to be at the DC end of the board
