ON another note, anybody would which one is the Fan ZIF connector? it seems like a Molex type but I cannot find the right one, I have one that is missing the grey flap :(

Stay for now with the 2 A fuse, from the anandtech article seems the switch draw under 2 amps , but if will burn replace with 3a.

Yep look good to me. JST are fantastic with giving out samples.

Omg awesome I will give it a go putting it in one of my donor boards* what is also missing and I'll let u guys know if it worked!

By the way if someone wants any measures from any caps let me know.. I may need to also learn how to measure... so far I use the diode method with red probe on ground but happy to learn

Sorry if this has already been covered but does anyone know what the component is above the USB-C port with 7C written on it?

Can anyone tell me what component this is please, or if you could tell me the code which is printed on your version.
Mine has the code J03 of which i can't find a part.

Decoupling capacitors between PI3USB and Panasonic ferrite filters/chokes:

100nF 0201 6.3v MLCC.

are all the caps around the PI3USB the same? there are 2 on top next to the 0603 and another 2 to the left in vertical.. I have a switch that is missing a bunch lol seems like someone sacrificed this board but tested all the chips and all are working..

I have noticed they are quite cheap so I was thinking about giving it a go.. another thing is going to be to solder them.. Im scared! lol
Im a newby here so cant post pics.. but will put one up when Im allowed :)

not too sure but I have a couple of boards and they are different numbers lol

1 is J03... (looks like it although scratched)
2 is "PP5 732"

No they are not the same.

You have:
From memory...

2 or 3 100k resistors
1 4.7k resistor
100nF caps (loads in-between filters and pi3 output)
100pF filter caps between each signal line (all for vcc) (4 or 5)

Like I say... This is from memory.

My memory shot it. Only did one yesterday.

OK thanks for that.

@mattytrog
Have you any idea what this device is or a link to a datasheet?
It seems to be a dcdc converter to turn vbus voltage (20v max) to 5v max on that rail. A buck regulator in other words.

It is going to hi side enable and boost enable. My guess is it senses when vbus is over 4v and kicks in, bringing voltage back down to safe vccin level (max 6v).

This is only a theory as I'm not near a meter or pc at the minute.

Can you tell me if you get continuity between pin 3 and pin 6 on this device.

I found this https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/info/docget.jsp?did=6578&prodName=SSM6P49NU
datasheet for the pp5 version of the device can't find one for the J03 version, does this look like the right one to you.

Looks like the right part.

So it's a dual channel MOSFET.

I'm not near a scrap board at the moment.

But I'd hazard a guess both channels are connected in parallel. Therefore continuity should be the same across source 1,2 gate1,2 and drain 1,2. If one channel has gone down I'd say it would fail open circuit.

I'll take a look when I'm home
