It's seems to me that all power lines needed for this to start are present:
- PPBUS_g3H = 8,6V
- PP3V42_G3h = 3,41V
- PPV5_S5 = 5V
- PP3v3 = 3,3V
- PP3V3_S3 = 3,3V
- PM_SLP_S4_L = 3,3V
Look at what U8180 does. It's powered by PP3V3_S5 on pin 5, and if it has voltage on pins 1 and 2, it will shoot out 3.3v on pin 4. Does it have voltage on pin 1 and 2? Does it have PP3V3_S5 on pin 5?
Oh, Pin 4 is short to ground. Yes I have 3.3V on Pin 5 and of course 3.3 on 1 and 2 as well. I have tried removing R8185-R8187. I have also removed U3210 and U7870 but the short is still there.
As far as I can tell I have removed every component on that rail now so I'm afraid the short is in the board itself.
Yes they are, Thats why I removed them. Anyway, I have come a bit further, found the short and have put the components back. I now starts but CPU Vcore is missing so I'll have to figure out why that is.
