Odd that the board powers on and still no green light. Seeing how you have bcacok... i would suspect smc being bad seeing how it wont charge battery reflow it or replace.
On j9000
Pin 17 = 242
pin 16 = 0
not sure what you mean before it but if you mean before it reaches l9080 then its the same results. Without l9080 its 0 on both pins
to this day people will buy and use 2010 hell even 2009 machines thats close to 10 years now. people can probably still get away with servicing and selling 2012- 2015 machines for another 10 years. plus you never know what can happen if right to repair passes. either way i can still see people...
pin 8 = 526
pin 9 = 526
pin 11 = 530
pin 12 = 530
pin 14 = 532
pin 15 = 532
so i think i found the issue. theres a short on pad 1 of L9080. even after removing it the short is still there. by the looks of it i can see the only route that pad takes is to the gpu is this board fucked?
l9080 is ok
i do get usb activity
it works with external monitor
and im testing with a known good lcd
pin 8 = 3.86 mohm
pin 9 = 3.64 mohm
pin 11 = 3.83 mohm
pin 12 = 3.79 mohm
pin 14 = 3.85 mohm
pin 15 = 3.86 mohm
I get a chime and a backlight but no image tested with a known good screen and no luck i just get a black screen.
voltages on pins 2,3,4 of j9000 are 3.2v
RTC_RESET_L = 3.3v
PCH_SRTCRST_L = 3.3v
PCH_CLK32K_RTCX1 = .41v
PCH_INTRUDER_L = 3.053v
PCH_INTVRMEN = 3.2v
I do not own an o-scope any other way to check? i suppose if thats the only way to get this working ill have to get one. what do u suggest?
We still got at least 10 more years before we all go homeless or endup working a full time day job not too bad if u ask me. Gives us time to keep building clientel too bad i started late but its pretty cool working on my own terms and working my brain every day. Who knows maybe u all can become...
