Originally board hard short on ppbus at C7314. Replaced to remove short.
now board without SSD 90% of the time boots and shows no hdd icon. 10% just won't boot.
with SSD, sometimes chime with fan spin and dies.
tried with external USB bootable. fan spins and dies before apple logo.
Hello,
I have an 820-3476 that initially had short on ppvcc_s0_CPU. removed the damaged cap C1008 near the cpu without heat.
no more shorts but still does not boot.
i detected pulsing voltage when plugin in magsafe from s4 all the way to all_sys_pwgd. no other shorts found so far.
any...
typo there i i have pp3v3_s4 but no pp5v0_s4 even when pin 24 of u7600 is enabled.
SMC_ONOFF_L can be triggered when power button is pressed.
so seems i'm going past s5 state. i have PM_SLP_s4 and S3.
12v s0 is constant ON @12V, not pulsing.
Hello,
I have a 820-4668 not booting, after a few measurements, don't see obvious short or any heating.
I have the 1st LED but when pressing power botton has no reaction.
my confusion is that in no_boot state i have S5 state power rails(which i do have). but the board is pushing out...
PCH_INTRUDER_L is 2.85V
R1451 is good @10K ohm
*new findings*
i'm measuring 5ohm to ground on PM_BATLOW_L side. Tried injecting 1V into it, for split second, meter went up and went back to zero. i measure again, its now 70+ohm.
Now PM_BATLOW_L reads 0.24V
i check UB0000 and U2800, i see...
RTC_RESET_L is 3v
PCH_SRTCRST_L 3v
both 32MHZ and 24MHZ present
pp1v0_sus 1V
so far this is the only RTH signals listed in the schematic. have i missed any?
With Battery connected, it seems to be charging the battery. getting 300-700mA on charger
PM_BATLOW_L is 0 no matter battery is connected or not.
and not sure how to do SMC bypass though, tried on another A1708(working fine laptop but once i press and hold the power button it just boots up...
