board was liquid damaged near the SMC area and ISL area.
before i get no fan spin, no green light.
after a SMC reflowed and replaced the ISL then i get fan spin and a green light and charging light.
CPU does get warm. but no chime. no beeps when i removed the RAM. but i do get 1 beep after...
i only get green light if i use a fresh charger that has been used with a known working board before hand. if i unplug then replug i dont get green light.
corrosion next to SMC, C6992 - 16v probably have shorted SMC_ONOFF_L.
i then cleaned the corrosion, i haven't clean the SMC. no IPA went...
clover was used, and has corrupted the the SPI rom. Duke can you able to fix if i give you the corrupted rom, then copy the ME region over to a good rom??
C5025 was the culprit. i took this one out and this cap does beeps on my fluke.
replaced with one from a donor board, now the board can power up normally.
tested all good.
thank you Duke and take care!
not liquid damage, cant see any corrosion at all under a microscope (damn it). never been rework.
Using a ?Real Genuine Original Apple Charger!
green light, orange light, can charge the battery?.
if I press and hold the Power Button for 2-3 second, the board will power up to OSX and fan spin...
