Reballed the SMC. PPBUS now at 8.6V but still stuck at green light.
Reballed U1950 as all pins were pulsing.
But still the same. Should I change U1950?
I didn't go into disk utility.In this one sometimes I get the question mark sign and sometimes it gets stuck at the apple logo with the loading bar full.
On another board it boots up into the password screen
I replaced R3740 . Looked broken to me.
After replacement I switched on the just the board and display connected. I reached the login screen.
Now after installing everything . I hear the chime and then nothing. Not even the apple logo.
I tested again with just screen. Same - only chime and nothing.
The issue the machine is sometime booting up to password screen. Sometimes stuck after only chime. Sometimes stuck at apple logo with loading bard half full / 75% full or 100% full.
Once I got a black screen error message "Device restarted because of an issue"
