I've got an 820-00165 here that came in with no backlight, working perfectly apart from that (image is fine).
Only visible corrosion I could see was a tiny amount around U5110 which I cleaned up, it seemed entirely cosmetic.
D7701 - 8.6v both sides
XW7720 - 8.6v and clean
BKL_EN - 2.83v...
820-3330 powering and working perfectly off the MagSafe charger, reporting the battery percentage OK, but not charging and no orange light (just green all the time). Machine dies immediately if MacSafe is pulled.
Board looks really clean, no signs of any liquid, area around U7000 is immaculate...
Board not powering following a claimed power surge. Everything above S4 that I can check exists and is in normal range, no PM_SLP_S4_L, voltage rails/readings as follows:
PPBUS_G3H - 12.56
PPBUS_S5_HS_COMPUTING - 12.56
PP3V42_G3H - 3.45
PP5V_S5 - 5.02
PP5V_S4 (and 3 and 0) - 0
PP3V3_S5 - 3.34...
MRI shows -127 for CPU Core PECI, everything else normal and in range.
No liquid damage, came in following a power surge, powers up normally, just full fan speed and very very slow to boot/run.
Components from the PECI circuit, let me know any other readings that would be useful:
Resistance...
I've got a 820-3476 which is only showing 1v on PPBUS_G3H and about 300 ohms to ground.
There was corrosion around R1410 and R1617 which I've cleaned up and repaired during my first pass over the board, but apart from that it's clean with no other visible issues.
Pulled F7140 and showing 12.7v...
History
Board came in no-power with minor corrosion on C1930 and R1931. Replaced both as part of the initial clean up pass. No other signs of any corrosion/junk anywhere else.
Symptoms
Board behaves, randomly, in different ways when power is applied.
1) Powers on drawing either 0.180, 0.200...
Apologies if this turns out to be something really stupid, I'm operating on not a lot of sleep here.
I've got a 820-00165 that came in, no power. The board is immaculate, I've been over it several times and no signs of any corrosion at all, anywhere.
Some readings:
PPBUS_G3H - 8.58...
