Hi’.
Sorry if it is a stupid question. I have for the first time a A2442 mbp 2021 14” “suddenly stopped working” Said the costumer :)… i have found a harmless tiny liquid point on the LB. It takes 5v with low amperage (0.050 ish). what ever I connect (MagSafe 3 og usbc) the capslock flashes (1-2 times a second).
Does the flashing lock tell anything? I know I am ready to messure - I will:). But has anybody seen a flashing capslock?
thank you🙏

Hi’ 2Informaticos.
Finally I had the time to pull out the LB. These A2442 are all new for me, so Sorry if I am a moron😅. Board alone takes 5 v and pull slow 0.030 up to 0.700 and galla down to 0.060 and again up to 0.6/700 amp. Sound like a short somewhere. But not obviously blown/damage anywhere. Do you have any idea?

Need to connect both charger and battery.
Not sure it this board starts correctly with charger alone.

Check if get steady voltage on the big coils.

Hi’ again 2informaticos. LF800 is pulsing from 0.000 volt to 1.780 volt. Seems it has trouble firering up somehow. I do not have schematics but boardview so I’m a bit lost🥵.
