Following on from previous repair. This board had a new U7100, Q7130, DC In Board and DC Flex Cable to bring back green/orange light. It still wont turn on and I have the following:
PPBUS_G3H = 8.5v
PPBUS_S5_HS_COMPUTING_ISNS = 8.5v
PPBUS_S5_HS_OTHER_ISNS = 8.5v
PPDCIN_G3H_ISOL = 14.9v...
Is there a reference of good diode mode values for the common things like PPBUS_G3H and PP3V42_G3H for the different boards? I don't have a working spare, only donors.
I am dealing with this board and finding shorts. Both of these rails were shorted to ground, both around 32 on diode mode. I...
So I'm now on my 5th successful board repair. 1 easy and the rest have been hard but I'm making progress and confidence is building.
So this board is liquid damaged.
There was a short on PP3V42. There were also shorts when testing pins on U7100. Rookie mistake but I didn't note down the pins...
Very new to this so may be an obvious one.
Corrosion around the area pictured.
Fuses and resistors in this area test ok.

Hi,
I believe that U7200 is faulty. The ID is unreadable from the chip its self. I have a couple of donor boards but both U7200 already taken.
I want to order a single chip quickly from a UK seller rather than wait for more donor boards. Will any of these work...
Hi, I'm fairly new to logic board repair and schematic reading / electronics although I have been in the IT repair business for the last 20 years.
I'm trying to work out my first logic board repair and may well have got confused along the troubleshooting route. Could do with a helping hand...
