Hello, I have a weird one today, I have a 820-2915-B board that had some issues, first of all I had pp3v3_s5 1,6v, changing the TPS51980 repaired that and now I have 3.3v, but the board didn't power on at this point, looking more I found that I don't have SUS voltages, first I tried to get 5v sus, PP5V_S5_P5VSUSFET_R- 5,05v and P5VSUS_EN_L - 0v , replacing U7940 fixed that, nov I have P5VSUS_EN_L - 4,94v, since I have vcc for this chip and the enable signal I thought that Q7840 was the problem, I changed it with a known good one, still I don't have pp5v_sus. And now starts the strange part, when I was looking around the board and checking voltages and shorts I checked again pp3v3_s5 by touching probe to r5040 and c7940 and suddenly the board turned on, I was shocked since the side I touched on these components was both pp3v3_s5, I started to investigate and replicate this, and for three times it started this way, I checked if I have voltages on both components and I have them, no shorts any where, replacing these r5040 and c7940 didn't fix this either and it dousing start, and now with changed components I can't replicate it any more. Is this a dead PCB or did I shorted sometime more that just one rail together. does anyone have an idea?
