Had a bit of spillage around U5110, I replaced u5110 and surrounding component's. Board draws 100ma then drops back to 20ma. PP5V_S4RS3 is missing so is P5VS4RS3_EN (pulsing)
I removed U8005 as it looked like small amount of spillage and unit draws 200ma and fan spins fast .
PP1V05_S0 is present but if u8005 is replaced it goes back to cycling.
Bad pch?
I reballed Smc, then replaced it and all spi termniation resistors and lines to the bios chip are good. Seems when PP1V05_S0SW_PCH_HSIO is connected via U8005 then it starts cycling.
After resolder U8500 then it drops back to 20ma. I noticed U3900 was getting hot so removed it but still the same. I got PCH_HSIO_PWR_EN then 1.05v on
PP1V05_S0SW_PCH_HSIO on u8500 but then it dropped back to .30ma.
