Scope

This describes a change to early prototypes of the XO-1.5 motherboard. It fixes a problem with the sequencing of power supply turn-on to the VX855 chip, which prevent power up. Boards having this problem will occasionally fail to turn on, indicated by the EC flashing the red battery charge LED.

This only applies to XO-1.5 A-phase (both A1 and A2) motherboards.

Procedure

  1. Remove R234 (right next to RTC crystal).
  2. Lift PU7, pin 6 (near PL6) and tie it to PRE_MAIN_ON (pad of R234 closest to VX855).
  3. Tie the MAIN_ON (U3, pin 1) signal to +1.2V_GD (D12, cathode).
  4. Remove PR67 (This is a quick fix. Ideally, pin 2 of PQ20 should be lifted and tied to an inverted, high voltage version of PRE_MAIN_ON).

Results

This page is still a scratchpad testing a hypothesis.
