This board first had a problem with power dropping on PPBUS_G3H, found a bad trace on current sensing so i soldered a wire between R7050 and R7052 to fix the power dropping.
PPBUS_G3H is 12.59 volt
I have green light.
There has been liquid on the board. Some red points on top of the board around...
I found a note that i wrote a couple of months ago about this board and i just found it. Dont know if it matters but i meassured L2590 it should be 3.3 volt but it is 2.5 volt. is this power to the MCP?
i removed the five resistors but still get 0 volt
I accidently touched both pads where R2893 was located with my probe that caused backlight to light up!
Is U4100 firewire chip?
larossmann I don't have Q9706 on this board. But I suppose it is the same as Q9806.
Pin 3 12.22 volt
Pin 4 12.58 volt
I belive that means that it don't let power thru
Q9807
pin 5 3.3 volt
pin 2 0 volt
R9715 , R9731 looks good
New problem.
Everything worked perfect except the dvd-drive. turned it off and mounted another drive. now it wont start.
PPBUS_G3H is dropping from 12.6 to about 3.3 v and then back to 12.6.
no PP3V3_S5
Bad ISL6259?
