Mac Pro 2013 - Fan not working. Found that the interposer cable between the fan/wifi part and the i/o board was burnt. Traced back to the reverse of the i/o board (the connector in the picture is the i/o interposer connector) and can see a burnt component. I'm suspecting its a resistor but no...
Yes i know that its normally the U8900 causing problem but its not in this case. This board has been seriously fucked with (GPU replaced, badly) so want to see if i can run it on intel only.
I'm just wondering if anyone has figured out how to bypass this in hardware (similar to the GMux bypass...
Minor liquid damage.
Fan spins for a couple of seconds then repeats.
PP5V_S3 jumps from 0.2 to something as fan goes on and off
PP5V_S0 jumps from 0.6 to something as fan goes on and off.
Cannot see anything on either of these lines that is suspicious.

No liquid that can be seen. Case is in good condition and dosen't suggest a drop or physical incident.
No backlight and no image on internal LCD.
External monitor connected, machine boots with external as main screen. (showing Apple logo etc externally so not detecting internal)

Works perfectly on AC adapter.
Works fine on battery until it drops below about 80% when Kernel task takes over the CPU.
Tried a new battery same problem.
Passes all built in test on both AC and on battery...

Would it please be possible for a clean version or link to a proper guide to clean it.
Thank you.
Pre worked and cleaned board. (sorry)

no power.
no lights on MLB
Tried known good PSU same result.
Found that pp3v3_S5 has a dead short to ground.
Seems to be on pin 1 of L7610 (0v diode mode)
Pin 2 of L7610 is 0.125v
Tried injecting some voltage got to 3amp @ 0.7volts

Been previously cleaned (boo!) had backlight issues which have been resolved.
Fan is running full after about 10 seconds into boot.
EFI ASD gives following errors:
TM0P
TP0P
TW0P
Ta0P
Looked at U5870 as this seems to deal with all of these.
Checked continuity to/from this chip...

removed L7095 - short is on system side (pin2) 0v diode mode 0ohm
spent some time removing caps on pp3v42(to oneside then checking for short then putting back)...
Hi There,

With ORIGINAL ROM chip quarter fan spin
With DONOR ROM chip - boots fine.
ORIGINAL ROM chip is N25q064a.
As i don't use the TL866 very often so i found another TEST N25q064a (from a MBP 15" 2012) to play with first to make sure i could remember how to do it.
The TEST...

liquid damage to SMC area, SMC reset chip and clock chip area.
Had no green light.
Replaced SMC reset chip, reflowed SMC. Now get green light and PPBUS is 12.56v
Now get quarter fan spin
Replaced U2800
replaced Y2805
replaced caps etc in that area
no change.
Checked CPU Vcore. It...
Clean machine, no signs of liquid, boots up does not feel "jerky" when booting
From the moment the power button is pressed the fan runs 100%.
Tried Known good Battery, SSD, DC in, Dc in flex, Track pad, track pad flex and two different fans.
