unknown history.. minor corrosion around C4314/L4310, also C7524 and then some unknown liquid residue around C7623/Q7520.. I cleaned them off with alcohol.
C7042 which is around U7000 seems to have corrosion around it...I have replaced C7042 and it seems to be ok now.. let me do some more testing..
without battery, when 1st plug in, I can hear the chime but screen is black and the fan will spin up for 5 seconds before it repeat, when it repeats, I hear no more chime.
when plugged a battery, it will boot up, sometimes normal speed and sometimes very slowly, and it wont charge the battery...
ya i know from schematics R7050 + R7051 + R7052 should be 2.21ohm..
let me get a new multimeter, as now it is measuring 10.x ohm..
There is a glue blob around R7052 but I saw brownish shadow within it near R7052 pin2 .. when I cut open the glue blob I confirmed that pin 2 of R7052 was probably...
L7510/20 = 0.9v after 10s. L7550 = 0.44v at that time.
machine did stay on in SMC bypass, PP3V3_S5_AVREF_SMC = 3.3v even when the fan stopped spinning..
Q7550 pin 4 is connected to U7400 pin 12, when both are on the board, they seems to be shorted to ground(9 ohm). L7550 = 0V when on power.
with Q7550 removed, the pin 4 solder pad have no short and when measure voltage it pulses.
