Customer brought in a dead A1398 with no visible corrosion.
Inspected it and found one FDMF6808N with a crater - see photo.
Replaced it with FDMF6708 but the other two FET were getting hot as well so replaced all three.
Noticed prior to changing them that their power rail PP5V_S0 was at 6.6v
After 3 x replacement the board still did not start and I noticed all_sys_pwrgd missing.
Tracked this to PP1V35_S3RS0_CPUDDR missing and I replaced U7400 and Q7430
Now the board appears to have retreated to S5 state yet I do see a very short pulse of voltage on FET outputs and all_sys_pwrgd.
I am beginning to wonder why I never get happy fan spinny endings like on the youtube videos! - am I cut out for this?
Where do I go next?
