It had a dead short to ground at c7804 which is pp3v3_g3h_pmu_vddmain. I injected 3 volts to find it. now pp1v8_slps2r is 0v. do i need to replace to capacitor or no?
could the usb-c ribbon cause pp3v3_g3h to fluctuate? the rail shorted again and had the replace q7680. now pp3v3_g3h fluctuates sporadically from 2.0v to 3.1v. could this be a ribbon issue?
the 3v3_g3h rail became stable but then after running the configurator i started getting 6.8 volts on 3v3_g3h afterwards . i get 3.3v without u7650 on the board and 20v on the amp meter. how is this possible without u7650 on the board?
Did you apply power without U7650, but Q7660/80 soldered on the board???
You are very lucky if none of them got burnt.
Do NOT do that again ever in your life!!!
Did you check all above mentioned?
Is the board still booting?
i checked the circuit and it's just not producing 3v3_g3h. i don't want to put on a new PMIC until i get that rail working. do you know where i can get a new tps51980b?
