Hi to all, I have an iMac 21 2011
Customer said to change the power button because it works only few times
I’ve changed it and changed also the solder paste on cpu and gpu but now it doesn’t boot
I have only led 1 blinking
I’m very angry with myself because of not having tested it before...
so i have bought a fully working motherboard..
all ok except sound...i can't hear sound from speakers!
i can hear sounds from headphone...
no problems found in diagnostic mode
in settings, i can see "internal speaker" like output..
tried smc reset no luck
2informaticos, how are you?? all ok?
i try to summarise
i have activy led for both usb
i can't boot any os from both usb
ssd not seen (even with another ssd)
if i go in recovery, as soon as i insert wifi passord, mac hangs and reboot
ic camera was 100% resoldered (i don't know why)
usb...
So i’ve removed the short!
Now if i Connect ONLY POWER SUPPLY WITH THE MOTHERBOARD and nothing else, and try to push the power button, I have this

What do you think??
ok! i have full short on c7620 pad ! it is pp3v3_s5_ssd!! if i inject voltage on this pad, i can clearly see the line near the ic that pulse....but i still have short even removing the ic!
I’ve discovered something looking better with Thermal camera

This is not the ic but the line that pulses !
I have full short on both side of this cap...
