**Tiny cap bottom left is fine, but I have aligned it after.
Hi,
no history on this one. No water damage as far as I can see. PP3V42_G3H measures 0.007V in diode mode or 18 Ohms.
I've removed L6995 to see which side is shorted - system side it is.
I've injected 1V into the PP3V42_G3H and the current draw was around 600mA, pointing at U7000, which...
No history except that I see some caps for PPVCORE_S0_CPU were touched with solder. Maybe even replaced. Owner said it doesn't produce any image on screen.
Laptop starts, fans spin, I "think" (went quickly through voltage rail check), that voltages are present. Tried with external monitor, no...
