So I have an 820-3437 drawing .100A and is missing ALL_SYS_PWRGD. PP5V_S4RS3 is missing, in fact , it seems I am missing all 4 PGOOD signals. No sign of liquid damage.
Got an 820-00244 on the bench that suffered liquid damage on a couple parts by the CPU. They were slightly corroded so I plugged in the LB and in started out taking 0.06A @ 19.8V. after doing some measuring, it is drawing .06A @ 5V. I measured pin 1 and 4 of Q3100 and they are 11.1V and 7.24V...
I can confirm this issue is resolved by installing a known good battery. after my own testing, the computer will boot loop without a battery installed, but will boot fine without TPAD cable plugged into LB. Iv'e now had this on 3 devices. I know this is an old thread but I thought it may help...
So I put a new inverter board in and it seems to be working, though every once in a while the screen will go black for half a second then come back on. Trying to get password to check temps with HW Monitor
Got an 820-2828 with an external display issue. My customer replaced the GPU but couldn't get it to work. I got it and took it apart and reassembled it carefully and it started to work. I gave it back to the customer and they gave it back to their customer. It has been returned for not working...
No history, No corrosion that I could see. I cannot get to disk utility because it will not see USB either. I will try a couple other SSDs and post voltages soon.
Hey, got an 820-00165 on the bench that posts to a flashing "?" folder, but will not recognize SSD. When I try to use External USB it will not show up. Two things I noticed were it draws about .700 to .9 A and the CPU gets super hot. Not sure where to start with this one.
Original SSD was inside. After a few tries of it restarting I got it to work but it is running slow. The CPU is really hot. HW Monitor shows the CPU is consuming 3 watts, not sure if that is a normal thing.
