M1 Air 820-02016 - no backlight

Hello,

I have this board which my personal board used for test and I screw it up while testing a display not fully assembled in the case.
I saw a spark near the CD3217 if I recall well and that was it.
Now I can tell I have the 5V and 3.3V lines to power the screen and also, when the screen is not plugged, the external video will work however it acts as a secondary display, not the main one.
I have inspected the board and haven't seen any blown part.
The backlight enable signal is not on when the screen is plugged in.

Is there any other signal that I can measure in order to narrow down the faulty component please?

Check diode mode to ground on JP600 data lines; pay atention to pin 1.

Do you get 1.8V at pin 4?
Pin 6 goes high to 3.3V?

Of course, check with good LCD connected.

LCD works with another board. I've tried a different screen with the faulty board and same thing.

"Pin3 seems off"
What do you mean?

Pin 1 seems to be affected.
Pins 1 & 3 must give the same reading in diode mode.

Looks like bad CPU...

Yeah, checking with the measurements I find on Flexboardview, Pin 3 is off compared to the rest.
I guess that one will become a MacMini.
Thanks for your help.
