found in sorin's server, all hail sorin:...

Evening all, hope you're having a fine and dandy Friday evening i have a dead macbook that has liquid damage (left out in the rain, in sleep mode) needs proper tender love and care. if anyone has this board or information for a similar one i'd greatly appreciate it. i'd just like to measure the charger ok, and the power lines (g3hot, from what i suspect).

massive thanks in advance...

it was either of 2 things:
found spilled liquid metal (cause for not turning on)
southbridge was most likely the culprit for the disc not being read. cold joints, unless i'm wrong

The arrow i'm pointing at is the other side of the disc drive connector traces. I followed that to that chip and figured i may as well reflow it. rookie mistake i suppose
