same result with that BIOS too.
When I tried to PRAM reset I held the buttons for the 50 seconds and the screen lit up but nothing on the display. It remained lit for about 10 seconds and then the machine turned off and didn't auto-power on again. Does PRAM reset work differently on this model?
Windows tried to boot and locked up.
Ubuntu tried to boot too, stopped in the middle, then shut down.
Is this BIOS appropriate to try? https://boards.rossmanngroup.com/threads/820-00840-no-wi-fi-no-drive-detected.57480/#post-59471
First time working on a USB-C board...
Liquid hit U8210 and U3200. No visible corrosion, just sticky mess. The rest of the board looks flawless.
Cleaned up U8210 and verified PP3v3_S4 and PP5v_S0 are being output.
Flowed flux at low temp and ultrasonic cleaned to attempt to remove anything...
820-2850 with no visible water damage. Has visible prior repair near camera connector. Drop damage maybe.
Has green light, charges, turns on and fans spin. Screen never turns on and no chime. Nothing on external monitor.
No beep with RAM out.
These voltages are out of spec...
This stupid thing...
It works much much better, but it still screwing up sometimes.
I was able to login and play youtube videos for hours straight last night.
Today, it doing something similar to before. It will randomly lock up and send you back to the login screen.
System log has a bunch...
Replaced C8340 even though it was measuring the correct value with no short, it was just slightly corroded. Everything seems to be working fine now. Does that make any sense or did I just get lucky?
I have a 829-3476 that came in mostly dead. Charger light would turn green then orange, but would never turn on. Checked voltages and found all of them present except for CPU_VCORE.
Examined board and found a tiny bit or corrosion around U7600 and U8330. Cleaned it off then ultrasonic bath...
