New SMC:
When I Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and check for drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L (at same time) I do get a drop from 3.4V to 0V
When I Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and check for drop pulse at PM_SLP_S4_L (at same time) I do get a very fast pulse from 0V to 2.7V hard to catch with multymeter
When I Trigger...
Clean board.
Already reballed SMC as it looked like it had some corrosion but it was pretty clean.
PPBUS_G3H -> 8,56V
PPVRTC_G3H -> 3,3V
ALL_SYS_PWRGD -> 0V
PP5V_S5 -> 5V
PP3V3_S5 -> 3,3V
PP3V3_SUS -> 3,3V
When I Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and check for drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L (at same time), But...
Board came in with shorted NAND, after replacement all went well and Mac works, but only powers on when power adapter is connected, if the Mac is shut down it wont power on unless power adapter is plugged in, after power on the adapter can be disconnected and Mac still works fine, it also...
Board had some corrosion around PM U7800 and U7210 after UC I now get all the way to PMU_ONOFF_L following the power sequence after that I dont get any other voltages like PP3V3_S5, PP1V8_S5, PCH_PWRBTN_L, but before that all other voltages are present like all the SLPS2R and AWAKE signals, SSDs...
Ok working with 820-00291 schematics now, PP3V3_S5 is 4.2V sometimes at the beggining it even goes up to 4.5V tested at R0301 (Next to LED 1) all info given so far was given without CMOS cell installed.
PP1V5_S0, PP1V05S0_LL, PP1V35_S3, PP3V3_S5, PP5V_S4 all pulse.
SMC Bypass same thing.
When I trigger SMC_ONOFF_L there is a drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L,
PM_SLP_S4_L pulses every few seconds with the trigger
This board came dead, clean board
Found a short on PP12V_G3H_P3V42 (C7806) but even after fixing that I had no power
Replaced Q7950, Q7970, U7950 and U7970 board now turns on sometimes but LED 1 is off, 2-3-4 are on when iMac is assembled but sometimes it wont turn on.
When board boots...
Clean board no history.
PPBUS_G3H: 12.54v
PP3V42_G3H: 3.4v
PP5V_S5: 5v
PP5V_S4: 0v
PP3V3_S5: 3.3v
PP3V3_S4: 0v
PP3V3_SUS: 3.3v
PP1V05_SUS: 1.05v
Original 85W Magsafe 2 charger
When I trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and there is a drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L, cant check pulse on PM_SLP_S4_L because it...
Board had some water damage.
After UC replaced most resistors around U1950 and also U1950 same thing.
PPBUS_G3H -> 8,56V
PPVRTC_G3H -> 3,3V
ALL_SYS_PWRGD -> 0V
PP5V_S5 -> 5V
PP3V3_S5 -> 3,3V
PP3V3_SUS -> 3,3V
When I Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and check for drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L (at same time) I...
PPBUS_G3H is 12.6V
But pin 1 of U7400 (CPUIMVP_TONB) is 12.3V R7403 is fine.
ALL_SYS_PWRGD does pulse, but VCORE does not.
Checked all other rails on page 8 all okay.
Thanks!
