A1707 not powering on

Hello,

We have an A1707 that stoped working with no reason. It has no liquid damages or anything else... just stop working. The client reporta the following:

"For some time now, the computer disconnected almost all usb-c connections with the message that ?The USB accessory is consuming too much energy. The ports were turned off ?, which I imagine may have something to do with this event."

Here are the measurements I got:

PPBUS_G3H = 12.58V
PPBUS_HS_CPU = 12.58V
PPBUS_HS_GPU = 12.58V
PPBUS_HS_OTH5V = 12.58V
PPBUS_HS_OTH3V3 = 12.58V
PPBUS_S4_HS_TPAD = 12.58V
PPVCC_S0_CPU = 0V
PPVCCSA_S0_CPU = 0V
PPVCCGT_S0_CPU = 0V
PPVCCIO_S0_CPU = 0V
PP3V3_G3H = 3.4V
PP3V0_G3H = 3.0V
PP1V2_S3 = 0V
PP1V2_S3_CPUDDR = 0V
PP1V2_S0SW = 0V
PP0V6_S0_DDRVTT = 0V
PP0V6_S3_MEM_VREFD0_A = 0V
PP0V6_S3_MEM_VREFCA_A = 0V
PP0V6_S3_MEM_VREFD0_B = 0V
PP1V8_SUS = Fluctuates between 1.4V and 0.5V
PP1V8_S4 = 0V
PP1V8_S3 = 0V
PP1V8_S3_MEM = 0V
PP1V8_S0 = 0V
PP1V0_SUS = Fluctuates between 0.6V and 0V
PP1V0_S3 = 0V
PP1V0_S0SW = 0V
PP3V3_S5_T139 = Fluctuates between 0V and 3.3V
PP3V3_S4_SOC_PMU = 0V
PP5V_S0_T139 = Fluctuates between 1V and 0.5V
PP3V3_S5 = Fluctuates between 0V and 3.3V
PP3V3_SUS = 0V
PP3V3_S4 = 0V
PP5_S4 = 0V
PP5V_S0 = 0.5V
PP3V3_S4_T151 = 0V
PP3V3_S0 = Fluctuates between 0V and 0.5V
PP5V_S5 = Fluctuates between 0V and 5V

The resistance of the PP3V3_SUS = 3M Ohm
The resistance of the PP5V_S4 = 5M Ohm

Can anyone help?

Welcome to the forum!

I don't see any reason for such a big listing.
If you miss a SUS voltage, no S4 possible; of course no S3 and S0 too.
In fact, even S5 is not stable in your case.

Let as know exact 820-xxxx board code...

Please, maintain forum aestethic.
Do not comment; always better to write new post.

Check for stable level at PP3V3_PMICLDO, PP1V25_PMICVREF, PP3V0_G3H and the 3 RTC signals (page 12).

Hello, sorry for the aestethic. I?m new in the forums...

PP3V3_PMICLDO = 3.29V stable
PP1V25_PMICVREF = 1.24V Stable
PP3V0_G3H = 3V Stable

Related to the RTC Sgnals, I don't have an oscilloscope. Is there any other way to diagnose?

No need of an o-scope.
I was refering to 3 DC signals, RTC_RESET_L, PCH_SRTCRST_L, PCH_INTRUDER_L...

Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and see if you catch higger peak value on the fluctuating signals and voltages.

Also try to start in SMC bypass mode.

I?m not sure if I understood what you mean but in the SMC_ONOFF_L, mesured at the R4911 I?ve got a steady 3.4V.
Related to start in SMC bypass mode, I don't know how to do it. Can you please explain it to me?

I guess that you're talking about what I know as smc reset (10 seconds on power off button). If so, I already did it.

"Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L"
As you have to work with board alone on the desk, use SW5200, or R5226 pads, instead of power button.
In fact, solder an wire on SMC_ONOFF_L and touch any metal plate (temporary contact), simulating power button.

"SMC bypass mode"
Put SMC_ONOFF_L to ground, connect charger, maintain contact 5-10s; board should start when you release SMC_ONOFF_L.

Remember to work with board alone, nothing connected apart of charger (no battery).

Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L repeatedly and check for reaction (pulse) at all PM_SLP_Sx_L; at same time as simulating power button.
First, be sure to get a drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L at same time.

Sorry, I forgot that 3V3_S5 fluctuates...
Remove R7663 and check if stable.
If yes, then check PM_PWRBTN_L reaction.
