This board has had a lot of work done previously. unknown history, no water damage. ppbusG3_Hot is 12.26v BIL wasn't working originally due to broken pin, swapped connector and it works now. U7000 - 20.22 ohms pins 27/28 3.05 ohms pins 17/18. Q7055 is not being turned on by the ISL, I've...

it's the SMC, can't swap it now.

x through battery, shows not installed, 0 cycles. Had a liquid spill reported but no visible corrosion.

different board charges the battery ok, Orange light, and the battery indicator shows full charge.

Once it boots, it will run off the battery. doesn't die when unplugged.

Battery indicator blinks one led on both batteries. No orange light on charger with either battery.

I get a 0.53 v diode mode reading on r5280 and r5281, so they're not shorted to ground. I get 12.56v on ppbus_g3h with the battery unplugged. Tried known good battery. 3.17 ohms between pins 17 and 18 on U7000 20.28 ohms between pins 27 and 28. when I connect the battery PPbus_G3h will read...

well, it's working now, it appears to have fixed itself. not the first time probing around got the fan spinning again.

thanks Duke, on a slow boat from china to me now.

this is my personal machine. coffee was spilled on it about 18 months ago with no major corrosion. Just died on me today. I found that pp5_s5_LDO was missing and with a little more troublshooting found no PM-SLP-S4_L

any recommendations on a reader?

u6100 pin 8 looks like garbage, this has to be reprogrammed, correct?

yes, replaces. R7402/03 are ok.

well, trace from pin 5 throug r6961 to pin 1 of r5071 was good. reflowed the SMC and now it sleeps. My thinking was the ball for smc lid was cracked. Thanks for the help Duke.

Great success! Thanks Duke, that solved it. This board was covered in corrosion and I was surprised that it booted in the first place.
