i suspected as much. is there something i can do to confirm that?

water damaged board, no major corrosion, ran it through the ultrasonic anyway. First problem with this board was g3h was 1.8V due to q7530 being shorted, after replacing it, g3h is now 12.6 as it should be. Now i keep going in circles trying to trace down pm_slp_s4_l, i think i have it down to...

what else would be causing it to run slow then? all other sensors check out in asd

forgot to check back on this, yes the new battery worked perfectly, the board was still stuck thinking something was wrong with the heatsink, and i even tried a new heatsink when the same model came in, i gave up and bought a new board

forgot to mention, i did replace them as a pair, and the resistance does not change when i remove them both i figured the cpu was bad, just wanted some kind of confirmation before i waste more time on it, thanks.

No signs of water damage at all. q7100 burned and ruined the traces under it, so after scraping away the damage and making sure nothing was shorted, i soldered a new one upside-down stuck to L7100, and the fan spins!, until the new q7100 gets hot enough to melt the solder on it within a few...

Update: got around to installing new battery, still running slow, should i order another heatsink for the hell of it?

Good to know, i have never noticed enough of a difference i guess, i use arctic silver 5, never gets crumbly. Thanks for the help, i will start with a new battery.

all sensors pass in both versions of ASD, battery is bad due to water damage, with ASD failing the heatsink test and how most MacBooks don't care about the battery being connected, i did not think it was a problem, should i start with the battery then?

EFI does not contain that test and passes no problem, flicking the heatsink with my finger seemed to make it more responsive, so I'm going to order a new heatsink and see how that goes

i have tried to redo thermal paste twice now, i do not have a replacement i could try but i see no damage to the heatsink, i will try EFI test tomorrow, keep forgetting they are different

water damaged, works after cleaning but runs slow, fan stays at normal speed, ASD fails TIM test, something about heatsink not properly attached, can't find any obvious damage to the board, I'm lost as where to go from here. picture of ASD Failure here...
