All other rails are present. This one is the only one I get tone to ground in continuity mode. This is a very different world from cell phones. Two rails is all I'm used to so please forgive my ignorance. I have good voltage on all the other rails when i plug it in to the charger. There was...
i've tried the PRAM reset with no effect. I know not to put continuity with power to a board.. I checked with the device dissembled. No caps lock light. 36 mV on PPVCC_S0-CPU
