3v42 reads 0.1v. Testing in continuity mode suguests it is shorted to ground. Is this where I should be focusing my research?
EDIT: I am about to remove L7095 and test for a short either side as per Louis instructions here: How does PP3V42_G3H circuit work and does it require PPBUS_G3H to...
So before I took it apart it had chime and green light.
Now no chime and no green light :(
I took the following measurements from U7090:
1) 0.58
2) 0.1
3) 128.33
4) 127
5)gnd
6) 17.77
7)NC
8) 17.77
Pin 4 was shorting to ground. Replaced U7090, and tested it for shots to ground before powering...
U8300 pins 2&3 are 3.3v; nothing on pins 4 & 5
C8309 is 3.3v
C8311 is 0
C8312 is removed

Any ideas what to test next?
Thanks in advance

Hey Louis I want to (and will continue to) support you, but I have no need to continue with the membership I pay for any more.
Perhaps if you try experimenting with having JUST the board repair forum visible and read only for non members and have the other boards hidden. I posted in the health...
holy smoke that is so cool. Congrats on your PR! Thank you very much for taking the time to write an informative response.
A little about myself:
I play football (soccer) on the weekend and train BJJ 2-3 times a week for the past 18 months. A plant based diet is something that kept popping up...
Through my limited research I understand Fuhrman and Mcdougall seem to be the big schools of thought plant based eating. When I try to research more I find it gets a little fanatical... people start acting like it is 'their team vs everyone else' sort of mentality (this could just be due to poor...
