820-4924 - No Power, No Liquid Damage

Hey guys, I have here a 820-4924 with no power.

Green then Orange light, when pressing power CPU heats up, then trackpad is clickable for a few seconds.

then the trackpad is not clickable and CPU cools back down.

I have tried original 60w magsafe 2, I have tried multiple charged batteries, that are fully OEM, pulled from other machines, I have tried a working/tested trackpad, and trackpad cable.

ppbus_g3h - 12.27V // 250 ohms
PP3V42_G3H - 3.4V // 10k ohms
PPVRTC_G3H - 3.4V // 18k ohms
PP5V_S5 - 5v // 18k ohms
PP5V_S3 - 5V <--- WHEN POWERING ON, BUT THEN IT GOES DOWN TO .2V
PP5V_S0 - 5V //
13k ohms <--- WHEN POWERING ON, BUT THEN IT GOES DOWN TO .2V
SMC_LID - 3.4V // 87k ohms
PP3V3_S5 - 3.4V

Board is completely clean, never been messed with, all screws were untouched.

Any other voltages I can test?

Do NOT quote an entire post, visible few centimeters above.
Maintain forum aesthetic, please.

This board should start by itself when charger is connected.
You can trigger SMC_ONOFF_L signal for test to check other reactions on the board.

I was reffering to SCL/SDA lines common to battery, ISL6259 and SMC...

Sorry about quoting,

I will Use R5115/16 pads for that.
Solder a tiny wire on SMC_ONOFF_L and simulate power button touching some metal plate from chassis, is that correct?

When it comes to SCL/SDA Lines do you mean

ISL(U7100)
PIN 10 which is SMBUS_CHGR_SCL
PIN 11 which is SMBUS_CHGR_SDA

SMC(U5000)
R5351 which is SMBUS_SMC_0_S0_SCL
R5350 which is SMBUS_SMC_0_S0_SDA

Battery
Not sure about the scl/sda lines, if you can let me know.

Please let me know if I am heading in the right direction.

Thank you, I will post the values once i get back into the office, thank you for your help, I will reply with it later today.

ISL(U7100)
PIN 10 which is SMBUS_CHGR_SCL = 3.4V // 12.5k OHMS
PIN 11 which is SMBUS_CHGR_SDA = 3.4V // 12.5k OHMS

SMC(U5000)
R5351 which is SMBUS_SMC_0_S0_SCL = 0.08v // 33.5K OHMS
R5350 which is SMBUS_SMC_0_S0_SDA = 0.08v // 33.5K OHMS

Shorting SMC_ONOFF_L to ground does nothing at all.

Something wrong with SMC-U7100 communication.
Please podt diode mode readings (red probe at ground) on SCL/SDA lines.

Hi diode mode readings

u7100
PIN 10 (SCL) - .52v
PIN 11 (SDA) - .52v

SMC
R5350 (SDA) - .73v
R5351 (SCL) - .73v
are these the right resistors to test from? I cannot find any others.

"I specified you to FIX on battery bus (SMBus 5)." I will replace u7100 and reball the SMC, will post with results. Thank you!!!!!

Replaced u7100, and reballed SMC, trackpad clicks for a few seconds then stops. CPU gets warm and then cools back down,

After that I replaced SMC from another board 820-4924 and same thing, trackpad clicks for a few seconds, (taptic feedback) and then stops.

Same issue, any more suggestions?
