Ok, I have 3.9v CHGR_ACIN BUT AM NOT GETTING PIN 14 CHGR_ACOK. Had some bad capacitors C7020,c7021,c7022 also bad q7085. replaced all of them. Still have no 3.3v on pin 14 of U7000. Looks like other voltages are correct. could it be a blown U7000?
Have not replaced it yet.
By the way, thank you so much for describing the path. that helps a lot. I was working on the Q7085 side not the other one. I couldn't get voltage through the Q7085 so I replaced it, then I was able to track voltage down to resistors, to the U7000 pin 27/28 CHGR_CSI_P, CHGR_CSI_N, CHGR_AGATE
PIN 1 = 14.8V, PIN 2 = 16.65V, PIN 26,27,28 15.95V
the chip has more load on it than anything else since PPBUS_G3H powers the entire machine, and it also has to deal with knockoff chargers and ripple on PP3V42_G3H as well as its own issues when there's water.
