I'm working on this 820-3332 that came in today. don't no the history. it has green/red light, pubs_g3h is at 12.6v, next rail i checked was ppvrtc_g3h, Found that it had 0.223v, checked and confirmed that it had a short to ground. chased it back to u1800.

thanks for the reply. upon checking for the diode measurements (all were good) i decided to check continuity on L4700 and noticed i had a connection to the top of the inductor but not the bottom. looked like there was a break in the trace that went from bottom of the inductor to the top. kinda...

I'm working on a 820-3437 that powers on no video on internal or external. It does a PRAM reset but does not chime, it also does an SMC rest.
customer states that they plugged a usb drive in and the machine shut off. i could not find liquid damage either.
i checked u8300 and had no voltage on...
