No datasheet available for ISL6259.
But the other charger chips do not generate VDD untill ACIN is correct.
Is supposed to be valid for this one too...
I also did continuity test on a the v?as and all test good :/ I thought maybe the via where bad. Odd because I see no sign of water except near touch pad but even that was very little
Oddly enough u7000 pin 3 .042v diode mode even when I remove both r7010/r7011 is this right? I have .549 on a 820-3115 board at the same point. The dot being pin 1
Good morning soo I replaced the isl6529 before I saw your comment. The isl was shorted on pin 3 now I have 3.9 at acin. The light was dim even after the change and now checking around the mosfet I heard a ?click? and the MagSafe light turned a normal green and ppbus_g3h had 12.5v then died again. Bad solder joint ? Or MOSFET ?
Yes I did solder it well. I have 4v at the voltage divider. I tried without c7011 it gave me 16v at pin3. I replaced it with another c7011. are you saying I switched isl 6529 for no good reason?
