Hi, tried that and no difference. initially after changing R6905 I have 0v on P3V3_G3H.
After connecting the power lead and then removing it with the battery still connected P3V3_G3H dropped to ~1.8v - ~1.7v fluctuating and slowly dropping to now after typing this to ~1.3v - ~1.2v.
Sorry I forgot to mention that I've replaced the U7000 twice. Not sure it these are reballed cheap Chinese or if they are genuine. Is there any other factors that are needed to enable PM_EN_P3V3_G3H voltage signal to come from the U7000.
Try another battery, even old.
Check voltage and diode mode to ground on SCL/SDA lines of battery bus.
Looks like SMC communicates with battery and U7000, but check values.
Do you have any voltage at R7075 with battery only?
You don't need power on board to check diode mode to grounbd on signal lines.
And wanted to know the voltage on SCL/SDA lines with charger connected, of course.
U7000 doesn't need to talk with CD3215, nor SMC, to enable 3V3_G3H; valid thing for battery mode only.
In fact, SMC cannot wake up if 3V3_G3H is not generated first.
I don't know where you measure.
R7075 must have 5V on both sides...
Your values points to bad U7000.
Which is the exact PPBUS_G3H voltage with charger only?
Yes … both SCL/SDA lines are 3.4v and I've just installed back into the case and using the battery and applying 5v to R6991 i'm able to make it work by pressing the power button.
So, for some reason U7000 doesn't want to enable 3V3_G3H power supply on battery only.
Be sure Q7040/65 are good.
Compare voltages around U7000 in battery mode with a good board.
Also compare diode mode readings.
