Yes, trace is good. I even removed again U3100 and Q3100 and measured resistance between PIN 9 of U3100 and PIN 4 of Q3100 and it's less than 1OHM resistance.
Now board is heating outside the case too on that specific port and I could trace what's heating. It's Q3100. I've replaced this twice and issue persists.
If I had a thermal cam I'd do it haha. Machine works with power connected to it and even charges battery normally, but turns itself off after some minutes due to overheating. Will need to compare diode between ports still...
Got this one here and it was not turning on. There was corrosion around U3900 area and some missing resistors there. I managed to get the board working again after placing missing components and cleaning up the area. Machine is working ok, except when I connect power to left USB-C port nearest...
Hello. Got this board with a strange behavior. CPU clock is stuck at 0.8GHZ according to Intel Power Gadget and the machine is running terribly slow. This board has classic issue on R5301/02 area and on the under side too. Verified all resistors and traces and all good. Mouse moves normally...
Hello. Got this one here with no post. VCORE stuck at 1.08V. Tried flashing BIOS, same results. Verified all termination resistors, everything OK. CPU gets warm. Tried heat and flux around CPU to see if there was any crap under it, still no good. Any ideas?
2V5_AWAKE_NAND is 3.5˜3,6V with or without RN430. Traces and R770C are good, bad U7700. No repair for this one then as I don't have any donor boards from this model.
Hello. Got this one here, which I'm thinking may have a NAND problem. It does not turn on, don't negotiate 20V with charger, BUT, after taking some measurements and inspecting the board a little under the microscope I found that PP2V5_AWAKE_NAND is around 3.5V oscillating and UN100 gets a little...
