820_3787-a no p5vs4_en

[PPVCC_S0_CPU]

Its a previous repair attempt,
ppvrtc is present
pp5v_s5 and pp3v3_s5 are present
ppbus_g3h is 12.56
adapter en and bat_low and pm_dsw_pwrgd is there.
pp3v3_sus is 3.3v.
checked resistors around u6100 and they look fine.

pp5vs4 comes for few seconds when adapter is plugged in and then it goes to 0


Followed enable pin(4) of u7501 and checked for pm_slp_s5_l and its 0 volts and same goes for smc_s4_wakesrc_en .
i have replaced u7501 just to be sure that its not pulling enable signal low but the result was same. So i removed u8170 and measured pins without it and there was 5 volts on pin 4 which is s4_pwr_en, as far as i know there shouldn't be anything on pin 4 if u8170 was missing

and p5vs4 comes without u8170 and it stops when i put it back

any ideas what i should do next

U8170 can only pull down the output; doesn't have a pull-up resistor inside...
Removing it, output remains at high level.

Toggle SMC_ONOFF_L signal and see if all PM_SLP_Sx_L signals react.
Then check if the power supply correspondintg of each signal give something on the output.
Is better to use an o-scope for this purpose.

Did you try to start in SMC bypass mode?
Are you using original Apple 85W charger?

yes i am using original 85w adapter.
can you tell how to start in smc bypass mode?

 

[2informaticos]

Press power button, connect charger and maintain pressed 5-10s...
You can use SMC_ONOFF_L pads when board is alone on the desk.

​​​​​​Thanks, i will try it tomorrow.
i also noticed that all pins of u6100 are on 3.3 volts except the gnd.

Its Its not working on smc bypass mode, i removed u6100 and fans started spinning and all power rails comes up.
i can see light in usb mouse when its plugged in

Try new BIOS, with clean ME...

I will try it on Monday, i measured resistance to ground on cpu vcc rail and it was around 0.7 ohms and it gives 0 volts drop on diode mode. Is this normal?? I tried removing 3 chips for cpu vcc and powered it, the fans starts spinning too(didn't removed u6100 this time) but when board is powered without u6100 cpu vcc shows 1.7 volts.

CPU VCORE has very low values...
