Gooday people i have a 820-3115-B Macbook pro 2012 that gives me greenlight but does not power on...History of the machine was there was no green-light and dead.And i replaced the ISL chip for brand new 1...Greenlight now but will not power on automatically or fan spin.I checked most of my relevant power rails and i realize that PP5v_S3 is missing...It's drawing 0.02 Amps Possible you guys can help me pinpoint the issue? btw 12.58v on PPBUS_G3H

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
check bios pins if are ok, check if 3.3 and 5 volt ic is ok. -

My friend I am getting 0v on all bios pins....What does this mean?Comment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
check the 3.3 5v ic u7500 pinsComment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
Okay hi here is the list of power rails.I may have added some irrelevant rails but thanks..if any of them are missing kindly let me know and i will add it asap.
PPBUS_G3H = 12.58v
PPBUS_S5_HS_COMPUTING_ISNS = 12.58v
PPBUS_S5_HS_OTHER_ISNS = 12.58v
PPDCIN_G3H = 18.52v
PP3V42_G3H = 3.42v
PPVRTC_G3H = 3.42v
PP3V3_S5 = 0v
PP3V3_SUS = 0v
PP3V3_S4 = 0v
PP3V3_S3 = 0v
PP3V3_S0 = 0v
PP5V_S5 = 5v
PP5V_SUS = 5v
PP5V_S3 = 0v
PP5V_S0 = 0vComment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
PP3V3_S5 = 0v
check why this is 0vComment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
Hi again guys am not sure if am at least on the trail but I read on this forum where piernov stated that ''There are power rails derived from PP3V3_S5 and PP5V_S4RS3'' so i checked on PP5V_S4 and it looks like there is a dead short there..I tested that rail on another identical donor board and it's not shorted..So Can anyone of you guide me further on how i should proceed? ..thanks

Use openboardview instead of BoardViewer, it`ll give you a better visual understanding of whats connected to what. http://openboardview.org/Comment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
I believe PP3V3_S5 is your immediate problem, I would recommend checking that out before any S4 or lower rails.
Is it shorted to ground?
My computer with my schematics is not available right now so I can't tell you which pins on which components to check out, but I'd check to see if PP3V3_S5 is shorted to ground. If it's not shorted to ground, find the IC that creates it and see why it's not doing its jobComment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
Thanks for the reply..But PP3V3_S5 doesn't seem shorted to ground..And well am a little bit of a newbie and having a hard time finding the IC that creates it in the schematic.Will be grateful for some help.Comment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
Thanks a lot knightwolf for pointing it out...I took some voltages measurements and haven't really picked up any corrosion or short... and hoping you all could tell me if i might need to change U7200 still
Vin = 12.58V
VREF= 2.6V
ENTRIP1 = 0V
ENTRIP2 = 0V
VREG5 = 0.8V
VREG3 = 0V
EN0 = 3.7V
PGOOD = 0VComment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
check resistance on l7220 and l7260
check all u7941 volts
check all u7200 pin voltage.Comment

Re: Macbook pro 2012 820-3115-B Greenlight no Power on
There's an issue with your measurements, in post #6 you said " PP5V_S5 = 5v", in post #14 you said " VREG5 = 0.8V". They're the same rail.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
- PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
- This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
- PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
- This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
- PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)
- This
- PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi all!
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅
I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

Hi all,
TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!
I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!
A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about... -
I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump
One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
