Hey. Have this board with liquid damge missing PP3V42. Obvious damage was under the heatsink bar leading to the fins which I replaced as well as U5010. I now have PP3V42 with a green light but only for a minute with 1 fan spin. In diode mode I get 0.088 but this seems to be getting pulled to ground at pin 2 of L4901. Seeing that there isn't must between this point and the SMC is it safe to assume its time to replace the SMC? Or am I off the trail all together. LOL. I have already tried reflow with no success. I have never had to replace an SMC before so I have to buy the materials. Can someone suggest balls or paste? If so which ones exactly. Also which stencil do I use for this board? Along with anything else. Does it matter which stencil holder i get? Much appreciated. Have a good one.
