Hi Aprendiz, thanks for your reply,
i've tried a PRAM reset without sucess, so i took a look at U9000, this one doesn't receive the EN signal on pin 1 from U1800 SMC, 3,3V is pesent on pin 2 and 3 and R9014 is 99m8Ohms (1KOhm)
Has i precised it in the tillte, the SMC U1800 is getting war, that why i really suspect U1800.
Could you please confirm

Thanks

U1800 is not the SMC, is the PCH, and of course will get a little warm, what is the voltage on L7510?? Do you have the display connected???

Sorry I don't know why i wrote smc , because i'm talking about U1800 ( PCH ) sorry.
Yes The screen is connected, regarding the voltage on L7510 i've mesured 1,125V instead of 1,25V.

What i did is that i've bypassed U9000 pin 2-3 and 4-5 to bring the 3,3V on L9004. But still PPVCORE_S0_CPU_VCCAXG stays to 0V.
I would supspect more the PCH U1800 than the SMC no?
If yes do you know the right reference of the PCH (U1800) , because i couldn't find the PCH on ebay with the ref in the pdf : " INTEL PANTHER POINT - MPCH U1800 1017P " or " QP8D-MM915462 "

thanks

Don't bypass things like that, that is a good way to completely fry the board.
Connect one of the speakers and check if there is a beep.

Hi Dukefawks, ok i'll remove the jumper i did.
The speakers are both connected and no chime and/or beep.

Corrosion under some chip. Could be SMC, could be PCH, could be RAM. You saw the original damage and you need to make an assessment as to which chips may have crud under them.

OK, so i think i'll re pass it in the UC if not OK, remove one by one smc, pch.
Which one should i remove first ? Smc or pch ? I would say pch as this one is getting hot.
But maybe before doing all that i'll try to get another screen to test it.
Can i try with a mbp 13 dispkay ?

Hi Dukfawks,
I've tried to plug 2 different display (mba 11, 2010 and mbp 13 retina 2012) and it's still the same no sound, no backlight, not booting so now the next step would be to inspect the smc, pch.
Which one first you'd recomand me ? Smc ?

It's not burning if you keep your finger on it.
Just removed the smc and tried to put it back without reballing,(don't have the stencil), so now the fan spins then stops alternatively. I'll order a New reballed one and install it.
