I have a 820-4924 that is liquid damaged. It looks pretty good as the customer brought it quickly. However it is not powering on. Since I do not have a board view for this board, I am not sure where to start.
I did an ultrasonic cleaning in the crest but that hasn't helped.The problem is rather...
Working on a 820-2879 with no green light PP3V42_G3H is missing. Not present at U6990. I have PP18V5_DCIN_CONN present before Q7080 and Q7085 but I am having a hard time understanding how these create PP3V42_G3H and what my next step should be. The board has been liquid damaged.
