Hey guys.
This one was working fine. Refused to turn on one day. NO drop. NO waterdamage.
Upon inspection found short on ppbus_g3h. Removed short.
I cant see pp5v_s5 missing.
I have a MBP here.
History: Previously going into kernel panic and having graphic issues. Customer done work around u8900 with bad results - components moved - some connections bridged etc - its been fixed now.
Machine does boot with image but no backlight. Upon testing some voltages

i was suspecting u4650 it looks good. j4600 looks good
j4600 pin 5,6 is .500 .505
on r4650 there is 3.42 - having said that i removed the u4650 and the only pin corroded is pin 10!!
LESSON learnt: dont be lazy - never underestimate under chips!
thanks duke!
