82.5 kOhm (if I measured that correctly. same as diode mode without the meter on diode mode?)
Was going to give the board another visual inspection so searched BV for all points SMC_PM_G2_EN is at.... they now all measure 3.4V ...
Area around SMC is clean.
Started measuring rails from scratch and hit a dead end at PP5V_S4RS3.
Leading this all the way back to the DC board of which I have tried 3, all resulting in no power.
I have no schematic for the DC board (820-3453-A) but there's a Cap that measures 14.87V on one side and 0V on the other...
jadao and dukefawkes I will check on your suggestions in a moment.
I found that F7140 was bad so replaced it, now get same 8.6V on both sides. Re-measuring the G3H line I run into a dead end at Q5500, I think. It has the right voltage coming in but is not shooting out PBUS S0 VSENSE to the...
I messed up in my original post, I did have S5:
PP5V_S5 - 5V
PP3V3_S5 - 3.3V
Edited original post to correct that typo that should say "S4"
As for the voltages you asked for:
P3V3S5_EN_R - 3.4V
SMC_PM_G2_EN - 1.04V
P5VP3V3_VREG3 - 3.3V
and of course PP5V_S5 - 5V
S4 and up I have 0V
I measured all the points the BV highlighted when I searched PPBUS_G3H, a coil is not shown as one of those points. I also can't find a coil before the fuse in the schematic. The fuse is good though.
Sent my way with problem listed as "not recognizing SSD's" this was dead on arrival.
Found corrosion and rusted pads in the areas between U1930 and U1950. Cleaned it all up, restored pads and replaced several components:
R1920
Q1920
R2023
R1691
U1900
U1930
U1950 and
Q8150
All I get are the G3H...
Tested with other I/O board, same issue. PPBUS_G3H = 8.6V. PP3V42_G3H = 3.4V. (same values with or without cable) and connectors look good on both ends.
Had to replace F7140 again, now get 8.6V on both sides. The unit now boots as long as the ribbon cable between board and DC board is not connected. With it, no boot, without it, boot. Searching for another cable to test but in the mean time someone may have seen this issue before?
EDIT: Other...
