    a1286 Dead CPU ? No PPVCORE / No PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT

    Hi

    2011 a1286 820 2915-B , no water damage.

    Turns fans on with keyboard attached (but reach max rpm after minute progressively), NO CHIME, USB mouse light up, removing memory no white led blinks nor beeps, onewire is fine green led then amber and charges ok.... but

    Power Aliases manually checked all one by one and all in range!!

    All present and in range except for:

    PP1V5_S0 = Missing
    PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT = Missing

    CPU

    PPVCORE_S0_CPU = Missing
    PPVCORE_S0_AXG = Missing

    I want someone to give me a way to determine if dead CPU here, not a clear and easy procedure to diagnose NO BRAIN/PCH.

    I would like to start at PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT because U7300 is clean but PIN 3 is 0v (PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT) , but
    PPVTTDDR_S3 is 0,75V

    forgot to mention that GPU was disabled through jumpers, so not gpu at all in this board... previous owner was using fine with no gpu

        I'd be troubleshooting why PP1V5_S0 is missing first before anything else.

          Ok reformatt! now PP1V5_S0 is present i cant determine why was not yesterday. Rest is the same no vcore...and no PP0V75_S0_DDRVTT I just want to understand a method to conclude a bad CPU here in casi that is the issue.... u7400 is not activating gates because load is bad o because is malfunctioning?

            ok I can hear the chime... did not much ... just reheated SMC and cpu just a little... activity usb is also present.... im going to test further, who knows.... cpu is often not died.. was consuming 340mah aprox, now stabilized at 650mah aprox, but reached 1A at initial starting up no battery no screen just motherboard and gpu is disabled.
            It was giving NO VIDEO despite of its chime, but was because came with U9000 missing, as it is just a mosfet IN-OUT jumpered to test , and it gives normal VIDEO thanks!

              G703GXR Dead CPU? shorted CPU power mofset replace, missing DRAMRST#
              by pc_okay
              Hello friends,

              I replace a shorted mofset (PU8104), now laptop is starting but no display, stopping at DRAMRST#.
              Resistance to ground on PL8104 is around 1-2 ohm, quite low but voltage seems ok 0.995V

              Any help would be appreciated it's a nice laptop !

              Thanks. 😃

              lenovo legion y520 dead, 5v power missing
              by swammyw
              Hi i need help troubleshooting lenovo legion y520 15ikbn
              motherboard nm-b191

              first of all i am newbie repairer and thinking if somebody could help me with this laptop what to check

              +
              20v rail seems ok
              3,3v rail also seems ok (pressing powerbutton does nothing but button tested ok and recieves 3,3v)
              also SIO recieves powerbutton signal
              some caps and resistors with 3v and 1v around SIO can be found but i think all signals are input signals
              bios chip also getting 3,3v

              How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
              by double_DD
              Hi all,

              As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

              I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

              Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

              820-02020 PPBUS_AON missing
              by ugamazing
              Board had no history of liquid; unsure of drop history, but no signs of damage of any kind worth noting.

              Charger sitting at 5v/0a. PPBUS is at 1.9v-0.9v steady cycle (peaks, drains, loops). Confirmed CHGR_EN_MVR is missing, but DCIN was reaching ISL just fine, so replaced ISL--no change at all. Confirmed pp3v8_aon is also missing--and being unsure *exactly* which signal appears first (or if they are simultaneous), I inspected PMU/U8100 area and found no shorts, but also found PP3V8_AON_MPMU_ISNS_VIN missing (not shorted). Replaced U8100 just in case (have had them fail in weird ways),...

              Apple NVIDIA AGP GeForce 6800 GT Dual Link DVI+DVI outputs 603-6338 missing caps!
              by jpreza
              Hi everyone,

              I recently acquired this card from a seller who was selling a PowerMac G5 for parts. He mentioned that the video card was probably broken too.

              Upon closer inspection, I can tell the reason why it won't work: it's missing a bunch of CAPS! (it's also missing an inductor - 1.0uH).

              It's a nice card as it's one of the few AGP cards that will support 2560 x 1600 resolution on a PowerMac G5 using a 30" Cinema Display.

              Looking at the card, it appears to be missing the following:

              1x 1.0uH inductor - orange square
              2x...
