820-2936 green light no power

PPBUS voltage? 60W charger or higher? ADAPTER_EN should of course be present.

PPBUS = 12.6V. Charger cable connected to bench PSU set to 16.5V 3.65A

It depends on what charger cable you are using. The ID is in the tip so if you use some 45W one from an air the board won't power on. Does it work from a charged battery?

 

[Jay]

Ah I see what you mean. I use 85W tips to use with the PSU. Only other battery I have is empty from a machine that "doesn't recognize battery" so hardly reliable. Tried it anyway, it's not charging as the Mac still only pulls about 0.020 Amps.

 

[dukefawks]

It will not charge as ADPATER_EN is not high. The machine is not seeing the adapter or there is something wrong with the SMC.

 

[Jay]

Reflowed the SMC, no change. Any other way to narrow down if this is the SMC at fault or something else?

 

[dukefawks]

I would first try if this boots from a battery with a charge. After that SMC change is next.
