Hi,

Need help with a A820-00165 board. Green light and then goes amber but no fan spin. Came with a short and changed C7375 to eliminate the short. Replaced F7140 and i get a green light and then it turns amber but no fan spin. PP5V_S4RS3 missing in L7520. What next...

Be sure no pulse at all.
Check triggering SMC_ONOFF_L several times.
If still not detected, there is something wrong on PCH side probably.
Check first if PM_RSMRST_L is steady high.

Check other signals expected by PCH; PM_DSW_PWRGD, PCH_DSWVRMEN, PM_BATLOW_L, SMC_ADAPTER_EN.
Don't forget its 4 RTC (DC) signals.

PM_DSW_PWRGD - 3.42v measured on R1451 Pin 1
PCH_DSWVRMEN - 2.7v measured on R1450 Pin 2
PM_BATLOW_L - 0.36mv measured on R1410 Pin 2
SMC_ADAPTER_EN - 3.42v measured on R5185 Pin1
I don't have a scope so this is the best i could do with my multimeter...

You don't need an o-scope.
I specified to check DC signals.

"PM_BATLOW_L - 0.36mv"
There is the problem.
Using original Magsafe 2 charger?

Just in case, try starting in SMC bypass mode.
