Chosen Solution
Hi, I have a macbook pro 2013 with a short to ground on PPDCIN_G3H and other rails it share (PPDCIN_G3H_INRUSH, CHGR_PHASE etc.) I tried to replace ISL6259, but no change. Then I tried to inject voltage to PPDCIN_G3H_CHRG. It draws 3 A at 0.2 V and Q7130 is slightly warm, but when I inject voltage on the other side - CHGR_PHASE, nothing gets really hot. So I guess the problem is on that side of FET. Fuses F7140 and F7141 are good, so PPBUS_G3H is also shorted Any ideas what i should do? Thanks
I think you’ll find Louis Rossmann’s vids more helpful, as there is a process you need to follow which he does quite well and explains it!
