I have a board here 820-2936, it have signs of previous cleaning, with some junk here and there, but did not find any corrosion.

This board turn os with charged battery, works fina and stable.
Charger only stays green and it sees the charger and battery, but won't charge.
I cleaned the board properly and did some measures on the current sensing circuit, all resistors seems to be fine.

I'am suspecting of a bad SMC, I need a little help with some SMC measurements, to state if just crap under it or it its failing.

U7000 measurements in diode mode with no charger and no battery:

From pins 17/18 - 139
From pins 27/28 - 018 and beeping!

Im looking at this line but R7021 and R7022 9.8ohms both.
C7020 and C7021 no short.

Bad ISL?

Replaced R7052 and pins 17/18 now beeps.
removed C7050 still beep.
removed ISL still beep.

Checked on a donor board pins 17/18 should be around 1000?

Ok, that confused me, my donor board must be faulty at this region too, it's not beeping.
All this lines goes to R7020 that is just 0.02ohms, now I see, thanks for the help!
I'll post result soon.

ISL placed pins 17/18 beeps, pins 27/28 beeps, all resistors on this line ok, no shorted caps, still not charging.
Q7085 getting a little hot, don't know if this behavior is normal.
