Replaced another PCH. i have good news! i have PLT_RESET_L and my CPU Vcore is 1.76V
CPU Heats up so i know its running.
BUT! i now do not have GPU_GOOD. no chime no display no light on LED0303.
only lights on at LED0302 and LED0301
Sorry man this is taking so long. i appreciate your assistance...
R8430 has 22k
i'm getting 1.34V on PVDDQ_S0_FET.
the board reboots not only when i touch PM_PGOOD_FET_P1V35_S0 line, it also happens when i touch R8535 pin2/PM_EN_REG_CPUVCC_S0 side as well
so.. weird thing happened, system was running, fan spinning, as soon as i put my probe on R8430, it shuts down and reboot. this is repeatable, and no i did not short something out.
i leave my probe on the point, system starts up. shows me 3v3v. remove and probe again, shuts down
so follow this chart for power up sequence https://logi.wiki/index.php/Bootup_Signal_Order i'm getting stuck at CPU VR Ready that's why i'm missing LPC_PWRDWN_L. but i can't find CPU_VR_READY in the schematics.
ok did clean ME(First time though so many tutorials and each of them different) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cl5HcbQ3GCMmZpsEqtNbyOyHceFcg6YH/view?usp=sharing
yes LED0302 is steady ON
and i'm getting 1.7V on CPU Core but it i'm getting no HEAT coming from the CPU.
Hello, IMAC came in with no boot in the first place. replaced Q7950 and start up now.
right now i have FAN Spin but no chime and no image, only LED 1 and 2 comes up. i have VCore on both CPU and GPU(0.8V). what else do i check?
