All terminals are good, already inspected them... But this is the third or fourth UB300 I put on the board... Tried with new and donor ones... All behave the same
I noticed something strange here. All ports, except for the UB300 port read the same on CC1/2 respective lines, which is around 1.6V on their respective RB. For example, on RB650 I get 1.6V and RB660 0V, when I reverse the cable, RB650 gets 0V and RB600 gets 1.6V. On RB640 and RB630 on the other...
Replaced UB300 AGAIN from donor board. Still same thing... It's not possible I got 3 CD3215 with literally the SAME defect. The strangest thing is that UB300 corresponding port communicates with charger and requests 5V but if I reverse the cable it does not negotiate anything with charger. I...
There was a broken trace between R5010 and SMC. Ran a wire and now I get green light and 12.56V on PPBUS_G3H, but still no power. S4 rails are not activating.
Hello.
PP3V3_S5_SMC - 3.34V
PP3V3_S5_SMC_VDDA - 3.34V
SMC_WAKE_L - 3.34V
PP1V2_S5_SMC_VDDC - 1.2V
PP3V3_S5_AVREF_SMC - 3.3V
Replaced Y5010 just in case as I don't have oscilloscope to measure its clock signal. Same thing.
Hello. Got this board here. PPBUS_G3H is 12.23V, which means SMC is not talking to ISL. Replaced ISL and SMC but still same results. SMC_PM_G2_EN is not present. SMC_RESET_L is steady 3.3V. PP3V42_G3H is steady 3.42V. I get no green light on charger eve though ADAPTER_SENSE is steady 3.42V...
I gave some reflows to UB300 and now all ports behave the same. 250mA power consumption with 5V. I noticed something strange...
PP1V8_UPC_TA_LDOA is giving me 3.3V instead of 1.8V
Hello. Got this board here. UB300 was boiling hot, so I replaced it. When I removed the chip PAD number 4 was ripped off, so I ran a jumper wire through it. Some other pads have been ripped, they are 7 and 8, but no big deal, since pins 6 and 18 which are connected to them are integer and...
I decided to throw it into US Cleaner to see if there was any crap under big chips. Now after cleaning and drying it up the board is a little different. Now it seems it's power cycling. No fan spin nor quarter fan spin but CPU coils keep pulsing like if it's trying to turn on. PLT_RESET_L seems...
Hello. I get 2 pulses and then 0V on S0 coils. All SPI resistors read OK. Re-soldered U6101 just in case and removed J6100. When in SMC bypass I get quarter fan.
Found shorted cap on C4207, cleared the short, board still would not power on and 20V line was crazy like hell, sometimes negotiating 20V sometimes 5V. Gave a nice reflow on all CD3215 and board worked again. Working for 3 days now without a single issue. Will test it for some more time before...
Hello. Got this board here initially with no power at all. PPBUS_G3H was stuck on 1.6V. After inspection I found corrosion around C2952 area. Cleaned everything and replaced all caps that looked bad and also U8000 that was shorted to GND. Now board gets steady 8.56V on PPBUS_G3H and tries to...
