I shorted some things replaced ISL i can't even count how many times at this point... Had a short on PPBUS_G3H... solved that by replacing q7035 again. Ended up losing trace on pin 2 of R7052. Got that. R7919 has high resistance in 1.5+ Mega ohms ... can I simply just put a resistor across that or is that a tell?
I have same values as above except pin 17 and PPBUS both high:
" Had a short on PPBUS_G3H... solved that by replacing q7035 again
---------------
27-16.43V
---------------
PPBUS g3H =16.34V"
Didn't think Q7030 is shorted too???
did those same readings at ISL. 27 pulses 15.48-16.58
PPBUS pulses 4.10-4.15V
Does the ISL fail easily? is it sensitive to heat? I've probably changed the ISL 5x's now. Make sure its on there to best I can square under stereo microscope. CHeck resistance readings before I give it power... but ppbus changed when I changed those parts so ISL change is doing something... keep changing til I get PPBUS? losing my mind on this one
I did swap the ISL again and double/triple checked soldering on it and get same exact as above with pulse pin 27 u7000 and PPBUS G3H pulse 4.1 to 4.15V
I'm actually getting 3.51Vat pin 12 and 3.48V at 13... usually that should measures exactly 3.42, correct?
r7012 was measuring correct... replaced anyway and 1.763V at pin 6. getting the 3.48V on backside of r7012 so I see what you're saying it measures .8k so its less than the 1k my schematic says... voltage would be higher than normal. I don't understand why I'm not getting 3v?
