    820-00298 short on PP3V3_S5

    Came in with a short on PP3V3_S5.. I injected 1 volt and PCH was boiling hot.. I measured caps behind the PCH like PP1V0_SUS, PP1V8_S0 and PP1V_SUS_PCH was shorted to ground.. I put a new (brought from AliExpress) PCH chip on it and readings all returned to normal but still the board taking...

    [SOLVED] 820-02098 M1 Pro 14" PPBUS partial short

    Hi, board came with no signs of life whatsoever, taking only 5V.. measured PPBUS and it was partially shorted (I kinda know this is not an easy one when it's a partial short) around 9 ohms in resistance and 0.012 in diode mode. Injected 2 volts since 1v was not enough and my initial suspicion...

    Came in with a little teeny tiny speck of dust on U9300 and R9310 resistor above it. Removed the chip, cleaned it up and install new resistors and few caps around it.. still 5V.. I took few measurements PPDCIN 5V (diode mode good according to OBD) PPBUS 12.27V (diode mode good according to OBD)...

    A2141 5V 250 milliamps

    A2141 came in taking 5v, 200-250 milliamps... I've taken some measurements and found PP3V3G3H_RTC reading a little lower than expected in diode mode.. I looked in the the thermal camera and found U6960 (PP3V3G3H_RTC VR) to be heating up.. I replaced it. Board still taking 5v 200-250 milliamps...

    Hello, A 820-01949 came in with one port not working at all and all three giving 5V.. I marked the bad CD3217 and it was U3100_T. I was able to verify it was bad by measuring PP5V_S4_XT_USBC; it was 0.045 (diode mode) shorted to ground.. where it should be 0.200+ My question is; I don't have...
