Interrupted trace to R6990 PIN 1
Short before break, no short after break
Interrupted trace from R5311 PIN 1 to PIN 4 Q5310
Now no short at PIN 1
Short at PIN 4
Short somewhere in DC sense in circuit?
Q5310 PIN 2 is also short to ground
Will continue to test
Follow PPDCIN_G3H trace and cutt it off in few points.
By "cut it off" do you mean actually disrupt the trace by breaking the physical copper trace on the board ?
Here is my logic:
As you said, I have to cut off the PPDCIN_G3H at various points, I chose R7010
Remove R7010 and check if short remains on PIN 1 or PIN 2?
If R7010 is removed AND
PIN 2 Diode mode to ground is SHORT then the short is somewhere in the line after that resistor
I know my...
Q7080 removed
Still short to ground tested at R7085 PIN 1
When F6905 removed
PIN 1: OL
PIN 2: SHORT
So short is after F6905 (not in dc in board or J6900) and Not in Q7080 or in reverse current protection part of circuit?
Remove R7010 and check if short remains on PIN 1 or PIN 2?
I don't believe USB ports are working.
No sustained significant current draw on any of them with connected devices
