Came in with No MagSafe Light and PPBUS at 8.18V

Corrosion at U3710. Replaced . A couple of resistors below the RAM also were green. Replaced them too.

Now PPBUS is 8.6V (Both Sides of the Fuse)
PP3v42 is 3.4V
Get green MagSafe light . No Fan Spin

PM_SLP_S4_L is pulsing.
U1950 voltages except Pin 8 are pulsing.

"PM_SLP_S4_L is pulsing"
At least L7520 shouuld pulse.
3V3_S5/SUS are both steady?

Check diode mode to ground on all big coils.
Try starting in SMC bypass mode.

Was probing around the Resistors near the RAM that was corroded.
Suddenly I get orange light and fan spin and all stable voltages. Machine now on.

All big coils 0V.
PM_SLP_S4_L is 0v

Checked At R5100 is 0.4V

Replaced R5100 - still the same.

Reballed the SMC - still the same?

Replace SMC ?
