So restored the firmware again... it finished doing the installation, the computer showed the folder with question mark and suddenly turned off.
Now if I press the power button the fan spins, but there is no image on the screen... U1200 is getting very hot... should I reball that one?
update: I...
It did... with the battery I had to keep pressed the power button (then pressed it many times) and it turned on, but it did it 2 times, then it stopped turning on...
is ppbus_g3h at 12.6 normal on this model?
I tried it again and was able to restore, but nothing shows on the screen. There is a weird thing... when the restore finishes, instead of having DFU icon it shows a lock... this board is driving me crazy! I don´t get why it lets me access it in DFU but won´t turn on...
Yes.. with the battery connected if power button pressed for a few seconds it turns on but its laggy and show the question mark folder, tried internet recovery but couldn´t complete... without the battery on my bench it just keeps stuck at 20v @40mAmps
All capacitors are good, replaced a couple of them, but no difference... Still not getting PVCCIO_EN and already changed U7800 this is driving me crazy... what voltages are requiered on U7800 for it to create that line?
I didn´t had PVDDQ_EN so I reballed U7800 just in case... the board turned on, I connected it into the case... it showed the apple and question mark folder... now I am trying to turn it on again but it won´t. It´s stuck at 5v @250-450mAmps
The only 2 coils that get some voltage and have correct values are L7030 and L7660 no other coil pulses I even checked with an osciloscope and I get nothing... don´t know what to do...
Please help me understand what´s happening with this board... it is apparently trying to start but when I connect it to the USB C meter it gets to 5v @120-240 mAmps then makes the transition to 20.1v @200mAmps top and drops to 30mAmps. I think there is something wrong when it is at 5v. It...
I checked the reactions when connecting the usb c charger on both rails no pulse or voltage I checked them shorting PMU_ONOFF_L to ground and no pulse or voltage came out of those lines. PMU_ONOFF_L is high at 3.3v
I will try to bypass smc, just don´t know how to do it in this models...
Tried triggering PMU_ONOFF_L
PM_SLP_S3_L = 0
PM_SLP_S4_L = 0
on my usb c voltage meter when I connect the computer i get this
5v transition to 20v with a .200 Amp consumption for 2 seconds then drops to 30 miliamps...
I dont get voltages on big coils exept for: L7030 and L7660
PP1V05_S0SW is not present on the PMU I get all the voltages but that one and I´m not sure but it seems to be created in U7800 is that right?
I was able to access it in DFU mode, the firmware was restored correctly, but never saw image on the screen, then tried to connect it to a external hdmi screen but it´s not turning on... can you please tell me which voltages are needed on the power sequence in that model? Thank you!
