I'm working on an a1707 macbook pro for a friend of mine that said it had stopped working and will not turn back on. After opening up the laptop I discovered a short on C7382 which took the PPBUS_HS_CPU to gorund.
After fixing the cap issue, I had 12.6 volts on the line. Not sure what or when something happened, but I am now getting 3.6 to 3.8 volts fluctuating. I was taking some volt readings and I'm not sure if I shorted something or if something else has happened.
At this point, I'm not sure where to start looking for something to fix. Maybe the cpu fried anyway when the PPBUS_HS_CPU...
