820-01598 missing PP3v3_G3H_RTC

Hi all,

just wanted to get some assistance on another 820-01598 I bought last week. Boards spotless no liquid damage everything looks pristine. Boards stuck at 5v 0.0180A pretty consistently on both ports. Battery removed, don’t have a known good as this did not come with one and my ones fully depleted and quite old. PPbus at the fuse is 12.25v steady not fluctuating. Removed the fuse and checked on both sides for a short and got .4 on both sides or millions of ohms on both sides. How fussy should I be on the pPbus value? I believe it should be 12.5v but aren’t sure what the tolerance of that is.

I did notice the TPS62180 looked a bit discoloured and it was getting slightly warm so I took it off. Balls on the bottom row look really dark like they’ve been carrying way too much current and there a bit smaller than the others. Checked diode mode on all its pins and everything seems normal, nothing below .4 other than ground obviously. We are getting Vin on all the pins, but the bottom line directly underneath the 4 vin pins in the schematic is missing. Sorry don’t have the schematic with me so can’t give it it’s correct name.

Are the TPS62180 common failures? I know the tps die quite frequently on the a1466s.

thanks.

Incorrect PPBUS_G3H is caused because T2 doesn't run correctly.
Did you get voltage at C6912, before removing U6903?
If not, replace it and come back with new readings.

PPBUS_G3H should be 12.6V in good working board; without battery connected.

Thanks for the clarification on pPbus. I was worried about that, T2 likely being bad. No voltage at c6912 was not present.

BTW P3v3g3hrtc_ss was the line I was referring to in my above post where I mentioned I didn’t have the schematic with me so I couldn’t post the correct name. That’s not required is it for the TPS to do it’s job? I believe chgr_en_mvr_r is the enable line for the tps is that correct? That was also present (steady 5v ) before removing the tps and just re measured and still is. So it definitely does look like the TPS is bad. Both enable and Vin are present. PPBUS being the wrong voltage does worry me though, the tps should not effect that should it?

I’ve ordered some replacement TPS off Ali express since everyone else has no stock but they won’t be here till mid March apparently. I wish someone in Australia would stock these things, it’s so painful having to wait a month to see if this solves your issue. The previous 820-01598 I had I ended up no fixing and donated it to a local shop who also couldn’t fix it, they said there 99% sure the T2 is dead so they used it as parts so I don’t have any donors to steal it off. Only donors I have are a1466s.

If you have enable and VIN, be sure C6903 is good (as traces too); is required for soft start.
Also check the 4 resistors from the voltage divider, R6910-13.

Sorry for the extended delay my tps took forever to arrive. I’ve confirmed the surrounding components are fine and replaced the tps. What voltage should PPvin_g3h_p3v3g3hrtc_r be? I’m getting 12.26 once connecting the charger than dips to zero as the board stops drawing current.

That voltage comes from PPBUS_G3H.
What is C6912 voltage, when PPBUS_G3H appears?

Power cycling may be caused by short in some secondary supply; check on all big coils.

There are many components connetced to 3V3_G3H line.
You don't have too low value to ground and voltage injection can only help if you use thermal camera.
May have luck and some chip gets few degrees more than the rest, in time.

Be aware, components after R5920 get in direct contact with 3V3_G3H too; unless you think 10 miliohm is "big" value.

All the caps and chips on 3v3G3H have been removed, only things which are still in place are resistors as they do not have a connection to ground apart from the current sense resistor which does and was removed. I did try voltage injection but only with IPA, haven't bought a thermal cam yet. I was going to get a HTI 301 last year as they were on sale from 1100 to 600 but the day I went to buy it the sale ended so I've been waiting for them, or the seek compact pro to go on sale again.
