820-00165 - PP5V_S4RS3 8v

When connecting to the power supply, it quickly draws 0.600A and turns off, the cooler even starts to spin. The logic board had some oxidation on R8164, R3921 and R3558, I fixed everything and the problem persists.

With the thermal camera I noticed that the U7600 and U7400 were heating up when the board turned on for a few seconds. I replaced both of them, the board started to turn on, drawing 0.400A, but both components continued to burn. Then I discovered that the PP5V_S4RS3 was at 8V.

I tried again by replacing the U7501, U7600 and U7400, but it didn't work!

Any tips?

First, check for short between pins 1-8 of Q7520.
Next, check correct values (ohm scale) of R7520/1/3 and their traces.

The Q7520 does not have a short circuit, I forgot to mention it, but I had already replaced it, but it did not solve the problem.

Everything is fine with the resistors!

Comparing it with another good board, I found something different with the R7520. On a good board, the value increases, on a faulty board, it increases to 9k, I removed it from the board and measured it, it reaches 47k, when in doubt, I replaced it, but it still has 9k on the board.

Correct value can only be checked out of board!
Only low value resistors (usually under 100 ohm) can be checked onboard; depending on the circuit position.

Thanks for the tip!

So, outside the board, they are OK. Any suggestions as to what could be causing these 8v?
