I'm working on a 820-3437 board. It had no green light. After some mesures, I conclued to change the SMC. I did change the SMC : green light, fan spin while the SMC area still warm. But after the board get cool the fan does spin anymore but I still have the green light. So I changed again the SMC, and I still have the same issue after the board get cool. Does somebody has a clue please ?

Diode mode on pin 2 of R6061? Are you sure it is not just a flaky fan, that is common.
Did you use an SMC from exact same board?

The fan is all right, even then, the board does't turn on at all, no shime, no screen.
I used two differents SMC from the same board, same issue : fan spin turn on when the SMC still warm

I found the solution. SMC soldering was good, the problem was comming from dirt on Q3088. So I took of this element, clean the pads, soldered back. And now it's working. Thanks Dukefawks for the advices.
