820-3435-b. voltage is 8.6 on backlight line where the boost signal should be sent to.
the ic is getting voltage in, the enable signal is present, the voltage divider resistors test as normal, the voltage on the dividers is also what it should be.
the chip was burnt and there was dirt...
Its blowing randomly as far as i can tell. ive had to replace it 3-4x already
just looked inside the connector with the microscope, its burnt out on the inside. around the backlight pins.
PPBUS G3H 8.6
VOLTAGE ON LCD BACKLIGHT BOOST 39V
CHANGED BACKLIGHT IC, NO LUCK. NOT SURE WHAT I AM MISSING.
any suggestions are welcomed.
(did find a few resistors on PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT that do not measure in ohms correctly, but i replaced them (and measured before i did) and its almost like...
the charger is original, and i did inspect the board for missing components, everytime i saw a spot that looked like it might need something it was an omit or no stuff spot.
ill check the smc and the area around it, and check slp s4 for a short, thanks
im buying them from ebay so i have something to practice on before coming to your guys' training soon.
resistance to ground on 3v42 is.....(measured on c5725, diode mode .636, 20.94 kohm measured as well)
d6905 (which is the component directly after r6905 that i had to replace) , pin #2 says "nc 2727" which i thought nc meant not controlled, yet its putting off 10v, does that mean anything?
820-2523-B NO PM_SLP_S4 PRESENT, ALL S5 POWER RAILS PRESENT
IDK WHAT TO DO FROM HERE,
green light (yes)
charges battery idk
i also believe that vr pwrgd delay was 0v as well
idk what im missing/where to go from here. i tried finding a short but no luck
*bought from ebay to practice on, previous...
ok so if i unplug the track pad, the unit will stay on and give a green to amber light, so does this mean i have a short or just an issue on the trackpad circuit?
i reflowed the SMC first, but it still kept turning off, then i just removed it from the housing, now i get a green light that goes to an amber light on the charger (before i got no light, i assumed it was bc im using an aftermarket charger) fan still runs high, but not right off the bat...
