    a1708 Zero power through usb meter found short?

    Hi gang ok i got a Macbook A1708 thats dead. On usb meter nothing at all Zero.. So took board out and injected 3v 2A on fuse near Usb controller ic closest to port. That Ic got super hot instantly. Also the caps along side the charger port were shorted to ground. After removing ic the shorts gone. But 2 pads on line CONN1_CC2 are gone. I think thats the line. I have uploaded pics to verify. Are those pads needed ? if so how can i jump those and to where ?

        .brd = boardview file

        From this file, you can select the pad and check if the pad is linked to another component on the logic board. Be sure to confirm TOP and bottom side of the PCB. Often, once you select the pad -> the right side of the viewer will offer a table of linked parts for that selected pad (if any).

          ok found where those pad go they go to the actual charger port bummer , thats a lot of work to jumper those pads. Do i need them guys ? what do they control exactly? Also i just found out the other usb controller ic gets really hot when i inject 3v 2A to the fuse right under it?? Same exact thing as the other one ! ( the one i took off ) So maybe i took off that ic and theres no issue maybe its normal for them to get hot from that current ? im confused now i thought i found the issue when now im just confused.. can both be bad or maybe its just the charger port it self thats bad? I was getting Zero volts on usb meter, and tested many caps and fuses right where the charger port is and no voltage at all. So can those usb charger port ic's cause such issue? tThe pads are USBC_XB_USB_BOT_P

            Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
            by DynaxSC
            Hi Folks

            I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

            I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
            After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
            The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

            MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
            by Stephen
            I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

            Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
            by chth96
            I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

            "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
            Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
            It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

            Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

            Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
            by Victor Moreira Silva
            Hello everyone,

            I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

            Well, my decice specs are the following:

            Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
            CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
            GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
            Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

            The symptom:
            When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

            9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
            by Geeker007
            Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

            I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

            So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...
