Re: 820-00165A power button not working + RTC problem

Thanks for your help.

When I attach the adapter the board will power-on, so I measured the signals with the board running. They seem to be ok:

PPBUS_G3H 8,58V
PPVRTC_G3H 3,33V
PM_PWRBTN_L 3,40V
RTC_RESET_L 3,32V
PCH_SRTCRST_L 3,32V

However, it does still start when the adapter is attached.
