Get green light on MagSafe?
Switch to amber when battery connected?
Post SMC_ADAPTER_EN, PM_BATLOW_L, S5_PWRGD, PM_RSMRST_L,
Also check PCH's RTC signals...
Green / Orange = Yes
SMC_ADAPTER_EN = 3V4
PM_BATLOW_L = low / 0 - with / without batt
"S5_PWRGD" ..... Do you mean S5_PGOOD (s)?
Hold up. Just plugged battery and charger and after maybe 5 minutes it powers. It does this even on a fully powered battery. With MagSafe and battery it will power after being plugged for 5 minutes. This is an Apple charger 85Watt.
Power button is non responsive, will check if it pulls low.
Just ran wire from KB connector to ONOFF_L and it's now powering.
I just got this one from Amazon on Sat..... I'll have to order another as I sold my chargers with machines. You think it could be a fake?
The machine STAYS powered with just charger if I connect batt, power on and remove batt, but will not actually power on from cold with just charger. Any idea?
