Chosen Solution
I have a 2.7Ghz i7 with 16GB ram model, i bought it on ebay and it was firmware locked. i knew this before i bought it and did research before hand. when i thought i could repair it i bought it. Upon replacing the EFI firmware chip i accidentally lost a resistor i believe, and it fell into an alternate dimension just like my socks do in the dryer. I need help finding the value of the component i lost so i may replace it. I know sometimes computers run without some components, but when i turned this one on it would not post anymore, but the fans did spin up and the heatsink got hot quickly. So i immediately turned it off. I suppose i could have the wrong EFI chip, but since i accidentally knocked off another component i think i first must assume that is the issue. Here are links to some pictures i took, i know not everyone does logicboard repair but if anyone can help me find this component id really appreciate it. Otherwise il have to replace the board and that costs like 700 bucks :/ http://postimg.org/image/ncm2v5iud/ This is the location of the missing component. Excuse my spelling error on this image. Lol http://postimg.org/image/z8pan3jax/ This is the EFI chip http://postimg.org/image/pqknamk1j/ This is a resistor, i believe.. still in circuit. I measured it but since its in circuit it probably doesnt matter that i measured it.
The resistor is R5023 SPI_SMC_CLK its 33ohm resistor in 0402 package make shure to check R5021-R5024 (SMC12 SPI SUPPORT) for their correct measurement check the schematic. Unless Bios chips are correctly flashed it won’t work right you need right spi rom just so you know. If this helps click the answered button.
