im realizing that LCD_BKLT_EN is turning on 3.32 volts but goes to 0 volts after i open the lid.
BKLT_PLT_RST_L 3.32v
PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT - 0 volts
continuity from pin 40 to D9701 is there.
got in a soda damaged 2850 board, brought it back to life but i have no backlight. i did replace the lvds connector and pin 40-38 on ppvout_s0_lcdbklt pads seem to have connected together is this a problem? also how does ppvout_s0_lcdbklt get to that part of the board? pin 39 & 38 pads are...
larossmann Thanks you for the info! if i do a smc bypass by holding the power button down on a keyboard and then dropping the power to the board it kick on the fans they still glitch but get a good spin going and i test the ppbus and g3h rails and everything is working 12.5 volts on the...
Customer just sent me in another 2850 with this same issue so i now have a total of 4 boards with the same issue here. kinda wondering how i'm getting so many with the same issue but having so much trouble finding it. Also so far this has only been on the I7 boards i have gotten in, don't know...
I have replaced the c9560 already as i do for all the 2010 years that come in now and my assistant noticed that google chrome is causing the computer to crash and makes the chime go away when it starts back up. as soon as chrome is installed and he opens it it crashes. its behaving like they...
oh def No doubt, Your 100% right about that. I do not think its okay. better yet how they get away with it so many times that its worth doing. they never responded to me. they know whats whats up.
Yes, it does. i have fixed a few 15" boards over the last few days and test all of them with the same charger so i know for sure the charger is working for other boards with and without the battery installed. also i did a smc by pass on one board with a keyboard installed and the fan just...
G.Beard They might accept returns with out any trouble. i got some isl from them and they were bunk so i returned them with no trouble. was only like $15 tho. haha. but if you do have trouble just file on paypal.
as far i know its been a real 85w charger. but i guess i could be wrong here is the specs of the charger: UL Japan ADP-85ebt v85 Delta electronics (jiang su) LTD. it powers on all the 15 and 17 inch boards i get in every time. the charger really has an effect on putting power to ground...
i realized it was not a short when i took the resistance readings, guess i should have post that. the only thing i was wondering is why i got 113k on board 1 but only 46K on board 2 and 3. also wondering how i can get power through the ground though when i connect the power to the board. i...
tested pp5v_s3 and pp3v3_s3 and both are shorting to ground. tested by connecting led lights to the ground on the board and input 3.4 and 5v on the pp5 and pp3 rails. the only thing is i cant find anything heating up.. is there any tips on how to located the short?
okay your def right about that. checking s3 for voltages and not much has power.
i'm getting 3.3v on pin 2 & 3 of the q7210 but no power on pin 5 & 6.
Were does PP5V_S3 come from? im getting no power on l7220, c7250, and i cant test xw7220 because the schematics do not have it in the right...
