Not posting with original bios. Works with donor bios but slow.
Original bios here:

Would it please be possible for a clean version or link to a proper guide to clean it.
Thank you.
Came back to this one.
Found that CHGR_CELL probe point had gone so ran a wire.
Briefly plugged in and now i got charger voltage on PPBUS (20v)
Q7130 / Q7135 likely targets here ?
Thanks.
Thanks Duke. Yes pins 27/28 22ohm (sorry)
Replaced U7100 with another from a donor board.
Ran a wire for CHGR_UGATE as i was wary of the trace on pin 24 U7100
Now get 5v on PPBUS_G3H.
Checked all the resistors etc around U7100 but nothing springs out. Does 5v give any hints ? (thanks)
Pre worked and cleaned board. (sorry)
ppbus_Gg3h not shorted 0.45v diode mode.
(U7330/20/10 not shorted)
Liquid damage to U7100 area

iMac 21" 2013
no power.
no lights on MLB
Tried known good PSU same result.
Found that pp3v3_S5 has a dead short to ground.
Seems to be on pin 1 of L7610 (0v diode mode)
Pin 2 of L7610 is 0.125v
Tried injecting some voltage got to 3amp @ 0.7volts
Not done many iMac boards so am unsure as to...
Thank you Duke, that confirmed everything.
Slight variation in diode mode on the SCL / SDA versus a donor pointed me towards SDA.
It was R5360 despite initially measuring ok. Once replaced all working. You may mark as solved Thank you again.

Been previously cleaned (boo!) had backlight issues which have been resolved.
Fan is running full after about 10 seconds into boot.
EFI ASD gives following errors:
TM0P
TP0P
TW0P
Ta0P
Looked at U5870 as this seems to deal with all of these.
Checked continuity to/from this chip...
Hi Paul, I do tend to note down what i replace, along with any other things of note such as previous rework simply in case of warranty return so i know what i have done if needed many months later. I often simplify to "LP8550 and surrounding" for example but it has helped me in the past when a...

very clean looking board. No obvious liquid damage anywhere.
pp3v42 0.2v
ppbus_g3h 0.585v
short to ground on pp3v42.
removed L7095 - short is on system side (pin2) 0v diode mode 0ohm
spent some time removing caps on pp3v42(to oneside then checking for short then putting back)...
Hiya,
I think that the aluminium top part should come off albeit with some difficulty, i remember having to glue one back on for someone some years ago. My experience of third party ones out there now is that they are pretty damn poor (most been sitting on a shelf for years). The newertech ones...
Hiya,
12" is a different keyboard.
The 15" /17" ones have a much shorter cable as they plugged into a little daughter board with the power button etc, before a smaller connector went to the motherboard. Also 15/17" cable comes out the bottom rather than at the side.
There is a site in the UK...
Hi There,
820-2936
With ORIGINAL ROM chip quarter fan spin
With DONOR ROM chip - boots fine.
ORIGINAL ROM chip is N25q064a.
As i don't use the TL866 very often so i found another TEST N25q064a (from a MBP 15" 2012) to play with first to make sure i could remember how to do it.
The TEST...
Was the bios chip (U6100). Donor chip boots all the way through - was literally last thing i was going to do before donoring it no signs of damage either. Some ME fuckery to do but can mark this as solved! thank you both for your help.
Hi Duke thanks for the reply.
R7402 measures fine, voltages correct either side. (12.56v/12.46v)
R7401 also measures fine.
is 0v (not jumping) on PLT__RESET_L and MEMVTT_EN worth investigation or should they come up after Vcore ?
Hi Louis,
Yes. ALL_SYS_PWRGD does pulse.
I checked a lot of things. The only things that looked odd were:
1. pp5v_S0 jumping but only to around 0.2v (which sent me on my U7200 journey as it appeared to be the only rail not jumping to the voltage it should be)
2. MEMVTT_EN is missing and not...
Thank you Louis.
1. U7000
pin 17-18 2.8ohm
pin 27-28 20.3ohm
2. S0 rails not jumping to correct voltage (all others present)
pp5v_S0 jumping but only to around 0.2v
PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT only jumps to 0.02v
PPVCORE_S0_CPU 0v
PPVCORE_S0_AXG 0v

liquid damage to SMC area, SMC reset chip and clock chip area.
Had no green light.
Replaced SMC reset chip, reflowed SMC. Now get green light and PPBUS is 12.56v
Now get quarter fan spin
Replaced U2800
replaced Y2805
replaced caps etc in that area
no change.
Checked CPU Vcore. It...
