8203787 won't turn on

Hi guys, I have this mac that does not turn on, green led for 1 minute and then orange. I had an absorption of 0.22 and after replacing u7100 it dropped to 0.8. but still does not start. Some idea?

First of all, welcome to the forum.

We need some voltages and signals from power on sequence.
Magsafe light should switch faster from green to amber (in seconds).

Post exact voltage for PPBUS_G3H and 3V3_S5/SUS, if appear.

Post exact resistance to ground at PPBUS_G3H (ohm scale).
Allow 10-15s after power is removed, before measure ohm scale.

Do you mean 0.4 ohm (400 miliohm)?
That is pure short.
Check if you get same value in any big coil, from secondary supplies.

0.4 in diode mode is totally different thing...

What do you expect then, apart of pure short?

"Post exact resistance to ground"
Was not this clear enough?

Please post again all values; measure between corresponding coil and ground!

Then is safe to inject voltage, if short remains on PPBUS_G3H.
Start with 1V and go high slowly, if needed.
Set first the lab PSU amp limit to max.
Probably a big cap will heat on PPBUS_G3H.

Lower the voltage, to keep current bellow 5A.
For such pure short (0.3 ohm) you need powerfull PSU.
20A models posted on the forum.
