I didn't fiddle more with DCPS, rather, I replaced Q7010.
I get orange light now, PPBUS_G3H is 12.56V. Computer doesn't start yet. Doesn't it start automatically? I guess I'm missing some more rails.
I checked continuity without the charger connected.
I tried injecting 20V 2A on F7005 pin 2. It pulls 0.065mA. I don't have a fake charger at the moment. Does the original charger need to be connected while voltage is injected? I saw Louis do it once if I remember it correctly.
Diode mode:
3V42 - 0.281V
PPBUS_G3H - 0.415V
D7010 is not shorted. Measures one way 0.745V, other way is OL.
Q7010 has 1.65V across all of it when charger connected. I feel like it could be shorted since C7012 beeps on continuity mode with D7105 on PPDCIN_G3H_ISOL.
Hello,
PP20V_DCIN_FUSE is 3.1V, F7005 is removed. Looking at schematics, I should get 20V here. Tried got known DCIN board, no change.
Am I missing something obvious?
Measurements taken without the keyboard connected. I feel like I'll need to redo it with the keyboard connected, right?

I've also changed U5701 and J5713, no luck.
I understand if one of those three keys are not working, meaning bad trace or something else, but all three of them not working, even after changing the three components mentioned. Plus, signals are present and I tested a good known keyboard.
Yes, the keys pass through U5750 before reaching U5701.
You mean PRAM reset? I did SMC by removing battery and power and holding power button for 10 seconds.
I'm pretty much stuck here. I've got another 820-3209 working. Maybe just go crazy and go through the whole board with measures? Or is there something that should turn on to tell it to give some sign of life?
