hi to all, I have this motherboard with a problem that it does not turn on. I have tested the charging and battery connector and with another board it works perfectly. In the power pad I don't have 3.3v.

the history is it worked fine but from one day to the next it did not turn on again (this was a week ago)

Any help to know what measures to take and diagnose? I would like to know if it has a short or the CPU is dead.

thx u

edit: Sorry I was testing a new connector, in case it helps, the original usb-c connector doesn't work in case this damage could have caused a short on the board

Check diode mode to ground on J9600 pins.
Compare readings with good board.

If USB-C connector was bad, you may have damaged U3100, or even CPU.

Did you check both boards with red probe connected to ground?
Also check without USB-C flex connected.
There are some components placed on the flex.

15, 17 and 19 go to U3100.
You can change it, just to see if these values go better.

Pins 9 1 & 11 go directly to PCH/CPU; bad news.
The board may be trash now...
