this board does not seem to have a short to ground. 19 volts gets to the current sensing resistor. 12 volts is on the battery terminal. there is 0v on the battery smbus but i don't have a battery for it and that might be the issue. will someone tell me whether this board needs a battery installed to power up?
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Nope. All laptop mb will work in ac adapter mode(without battery).So to powerup, battery is not needed.Btw, if you have 0 volts on smbus that indicates perhaps absence of 3v LDO. So do check your 3V PWM regulator's requirements and measure the resistance on 3V LDO.

ALWON=Always On. This signal comes from SIO and is needed to get output on 3/5V coils. But first you need to get 3V LDO. The PWM regulator will generate it without ENABLE signal.
What is the voltage and resistance on 3V LDO??Last edited by mcplslg123; 12-01-2021, 11:03 PM.

the sio which is a bga package appears to the issue. rtc_cell has a short to ground and i ran 1v through its path and the EC lit up like a christmas tree on the thermal camera. i would reball it but i'll assume that it's dead since i reflowed it real good and nothing changed. the chip is mec5105

I have exactly the same issue - +RTC_CELL shorted to the ground (~1 Ohm) and no ALWON signal. I haven't done a short-circuit test yet because I don't have a thermal camera, I need to borrow.
Have you solved this problem on your laptop?
I would appreciate any advice
