Hello!

I have this mac that does not turn on, does not turn on any led on the magsafe and no fan. (I already rewrite bios)
No corrosion/liquid damage

measurements:
PPBUS_G3H = 12.59v
PP3V42_G3H = 3.485v
PP5V_S0 = 0.013v
PP3V3_S5 = 3.355v
PP3V3_SUS = 0v
PP1V05_SUS = 0v
PP3V3_S0 = 0v
PPVCC_S0_CPU = 0v

When trigger SMC_ONOFF_L, nothing happens.

Thanks!

Put back original BIOS; is not related with Magsafe light.
SPI chip usually requires 3V3_SUS; why touch it, if is not even powered?

Post MLB code (maybe 820-2936/3115), not DCIN.
Then we can give you more information.

In this board, U6100 is powered by 3V3_S5 indeed; however, not related with missing Magsafe light.

Check PM_DSW_PWRGD, PCH_DSWRMEN and the 4 (four) PCH's RTC signals.

PM_DSW_PWRGD = 3.48v
PCH_DSWVRMEN = 3.226v

RTC_RESET_L = 3.347v
PCH_SRTCRST_L = 3.347v
PCH_INTRUDER_L = 3.062v
PCH_INTVRMEN_L = 3.256v

PP5V_S5 = 5v
SMC_PM_G2_EN = 3.482v

apparently everything is ok, what else can I check?

Thanks

I only have 60w original charger, its a problem?

SMC_ADAPTER_EN - 3.40v
PM_BATLOW_L - 0v

PS: with lab PSU, the green light sometimes turns on and stays on, sometimes turns on and off in a few seconds (without pattern).
With original supply, rarely turns on the green light, but when it lights up stays on for 7 seconds and off.

however, now I plugged in the original charger (60w) and the green light stays on ever .. !? (but never turned on)

60W charger is not original for this machine!
This board will not start with other charger alone, than 85W.
Unelss charged battery is plugged in.
