L8304 we get 0V all the time!
Sorry, I copy/paste the subscription, and this board was water damage.
I already replaced all the bad components near U5000, U1900. And washed into ultrasonic machine.
R7180 pin 1 missing. made a bridge between C7184 pin 1 and R7180 pin 1

Short on all capacitors. Replaced one by one. C6422 was the bastard. Problem solved. Motherboard fixed. Extremely happy. Thanks for you help. Do you mind me asking how did you arrive to that conclusion? I understand the problem was with 5V_S5 line because the voltage was pulsating but how did...
Called the customer. He confessed that it had previous liquid spill on keyboard over a year ago and keyboard was replaced. Worked fine ever since then until just recently. The battery ran out and after that does not go on.
It should turn on with battery disconnected, right?
PM_BATLOW_L - 3.28V...
Hi there,
No signs of water damage.
Magsafe charger switches from 5V to 20V.
All main coils (and there are many on this board) - 0V, except for L7660 - 3.31V.
No pulse on ON/OFF button press.
SMC bypass - same. Though I am not sure if SMC bypass procedure is the same as on previous generation...

PPDCIN_G3H at J7000 - jumping between 16.51 - 16.68V
R7012 measured onboard - 56.2k
D7012 - not open. Tested in continuity mode between R7012 pin 2 to R7010 pin 2.
BUT with my sharp eagle eye I saw that pin 2 of D7012 had the smallest oxidation I have ever seen. Replaced it and machine works...
Hi there,
no water damage. No light on MG (1 out of 10 i get orange light that fades out), no fan spin, all coils 0V. Tested with good working io board and cable.
Please advice how to proceed.
Thanks!
Checked the resistors from "TPAD SPI WITH SRC TERMINATION" - all fine.
Hooked up 3rd keyboard - works again. Installed still works. Fingures crossed it will keep that way. Maybe just a shitty batch of keyboards from China (though i try to stick to my reliable supplier).
Thanks for your help!
