Hi folks,
Got a board here that is immaculate but *every* solder joint and every cap/resistor on the board is discolored. So this was liquid damaged and cleaned after. Been out of the game for a while and I primarily work on older machines so no idea where to start on this one.
Unit draws 19.6V and starts at 0.49 amps, working it's way up to 1.6 amps. When the power is connected I can hear the iphone charging chime and the fan spins a few times. CPU gets warm until I hold down the power button to turn it off. Keyboard backlight stays off, touch bar never turns on.
I figured with the CPU getting warm this thing may actually be booting but the display stays black and even with a flashlight I see no image.
Checked all the connectors and cables, no corrosion or discoloration on any of them.
Any recommendations on where to start?
Thanks!
