    A2179 PPBUS_G3H low

    Hey mon2. I’ve got another crazy case for you that never happened to me before.

    A2179 board, PPBUS_G3H short, 2 ohms.
    injected voltage, 1V 5A limit, 200mA draw.
    decided to increase to 2v, amperage draw instantly dropped to a few mA.

    the resistance of the rail actually went from 2 ohm to 100 after that, and PPBUS went from 0mV to 700mV.

    checked the resistance of the 4 current sensing resistors around the ISL, all fine. Removed the ISL, went from 100 to 160 ohm.

    Replaced it, still 160 ohm.
    Removed the 2 ISL mosfets. Still the same resistance. Replaced them both, still nothing.
    Replaced the ISL AGAIN, went to 220 ohm.
    PPBUS went from 700mv to 900mv.

    im really confused now.

    Also, PPDCIN_G3H is 5v as expected.

    Hey. What is the 820-**** # you are referencing?

    Remove F7000 (for now).

    Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode. Measure the resistance between CHGR_CSIR_P and CHGR_CSIR_N. You can measure using the meter tips @ C7021 and C7022.

      mon2 I'm talking about the 820-01958 2020 Intel MacBook Air.

      Remove F7000? the fuse that connects PPVBAT_G3H_FUSE and PPVBAT_G3H_CONN ?

      Regarding the resistance measurement between CHGR_CSIR_P and CHGR_CSIR_N, I measured 2.6 ohm.

        Resistance is fine.

        Yes on the F7000 fuse.

        Measure the voltage to ground of VDDA and also VDDP.

          if u have a thermal camera would be much easier to spot where the problem is.... also sometimes a caps get shorted only when a certain of voltage is appikied, with all the risks that it give...

            GTX 1080 TI Gigabyte Aorus low resistance on vmem
            by cind12
            Hi guys, i was wondering, i've got 9Ohms on Vmem, one of the mosfet was shortet to ground, so i've desoldered hi and low mosfets nad still low res, then i removed all of the memory chips, and the resistance is still low, so did you had maybe a card with that low res on memories, and the card was working fine ?
            Removed the U1866Q and still without result, i dont have thermal cam so can't see where is hot spot when incjeting voltage.
            The resistance on core is ok 0.1Ohm ((Power 0.8V when on)
            Resistance on 12V 4K ohms (Power present when on)
            Resistance on 12V PEX 4K ohms...

            Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
            by Nagy Daniel
            Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

            I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

            I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

            So, I generated a table with AI so I can...

            What is the lowest acceptable resistance on a coil without considering a short on PCB
            by Jane
            I have Asus FA506 ( board DA0BKXMB8D0 Rev: D). Can you please roughly indicate what the lowest resistance I should measure on a coil? I know that a low resistance is allowed on coils in CPU or graphic circuits but can you provide acceptable values of resistance?
            Thank you.

            645 G9 with Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U | Resistance to ground of CPU?
            by loopster
            Hello everyone, I have a 645 G9 here with a Ryzen 5 PRO 5675U.
            This board has a blown inductor component above the driver chip to the CPU coil, and I am wondering whether the CPU is shorted/dead.

            Could anyone please measure the resistance to ground on the leftmost coil/inductor to the CPU?
            My resistance value is 2.2 Ohms, which doesn't look good to me.

            Thanks to everyone willing to give a value.​

            Janome DC3050 Sewing Machine Pedal Resistance
            by CG2
            OK, this is a long shot. I got this sewing machine cheap because it's end of line, ex-display, and had no pedal. The genuine pedal costs £60, while Ebay knock-offs go for around £15. So I went for the knock-off, it doesn't work, and I'm not sure whether it's the pedal or the sewing machine that has the problem.

            Now this is an electronic machine, unlike the old fashioned sort where the pedal was a big resistor in series with the power to the motor. Here, the pedal is just (I think) a variable resistor fed with a 5 volt supply, and limited to a current of 5 milliamps. Assuming that...
