Hey guys,
history: no green light on charger, fixed it, now starting, fans spinning, no chime, no picture/backlight
cpu vcore is present, goes up to 1.12v then jumps to 0.9v
any help? dead cpu?
okay. new chip is on the board.
amp meter shows: 5V / 0.08 - 0.11A unstable
3.8V are there! (PP3V8_AON)
PP5V_S2_MAIN: 2.3V-2.6V unstable.
how can i check that U8100 is soldered on correctly?
injected voltage again. no amps drawn...no short?
measured again before injection -> beep
mesaured again after injection .150 in diode mode.
hows that possible? good sign?
these readings from usb-c connected charger. (140w)
7V without battery connected. just charger.
diode mode readings -> without nothing connected. just the board.
okay, i think its like bad soldering.
put another new one on it. on the good side its booting up now, got an apple and login screen.
on the bad side same behaviour...
i thought every cd3217 should be good to boot up?
okay, whats going on here...
put another chip on it. on this chip the amp meter shuts off and on in a loop. on the same side the cd3217 gives me 5v 0.26a
on the other side i get on both chips 20.4v - jumping to 0.3a and then to 0.02a...whats happening here?
