2info, i guess I did not leave my probe on PP5V_S5 for long enough yesterday. It starts at the correct 5v then starts bouncing around after a few seconds, I also get that lightning bolt on my fluke on that particular rail. 3V3_SUS and 3V3_S5 also jump around.
Ok so this could be a lot of things. Resistance between pins 17/18 and 27/28 of the ISL6259? Any liquid damage near BIOS, clock chip, SMC, etc? Check all rails for shorts?
Ok inspect all traces from clock chip to Y2605. Also wouldn't hurt to replaced U2600. Let us know if you find any shorts a common one on these is the audio caps for PP5v_S3
