Another 820-2936 Fan spins 2 sec

Hello

This Board has no sign of water damage.
When it's plugged in the fan spins for 1 sec, stops for 3 sec and keeps repeating that process.

PPBUS_G3H is good
PP3V42_G3H is 3.5v

What can be causing this fanspin?

I bet L7550 is just the normal low resistance of about 2-3 Ohm.

Is voltage also coming high on L7510 when fan spins?

Check R7402, especially pin 2 for corrosion and measure 90K.
Did you measure over L7550 or L7550 to GND?

measured over.
diode mode L7510 and L7550 is 0.015 on both
R7402 is ok but pin 2 on u7400 does look a bit worse than the other pins.

Why would you measure over a coil? Resistance to GND is the one that matters.
Measure R7402 by measuring from F7040 to pin 2 on U7400, this way you ensure that there are no corroded traces.

0.015 in Ohm or diode mode? 0.015 is way too low, compare it with another board. Boards I have here measure between 5-13 Ohm.

yes, it's to low. I wrote that in my second and third post in this thread. Or is it not a short to ground when it measures that low?

0.015 Ohm to GND is too low. Nothing more I can say. Compare it to some working boards, but the ones I have here are 5 Ohm minimum. It would most likely be a shorted CPU as it is on 2 different busses.

hi
I think I have problems with understanding how to measure things.
I measured L7550 and L7510 in diode mode, red on ground black on coil, and got 0.013
If i measure ohm on my fluke between coil and ground i get 10.9 on L7550 and L7510

My other board, with no image; measures 10.7 on L7550 and 9.6 on L7510

Sorry if i'm stupid but i'm trying to learn this!!!

That is all ok. Running our of ideas here too. You say R7402 does look corroded, are you able to take a picture? I'm pretty sure it will be corrosion somewhere. Any history on this board?

I bought the mbp for 50$ with no other information from The seller than that it wouldn't start.
R7402 doesn't look corroded. It's the pin on U7400 that it's attached to that was corroded.

Well I would think it has been a liquid spill then. Look closer for corrosion.
Also what voltage are you getting on both sides of R7402?
