==Problem description==
No camera detected after a history of liquid damage on the 820-02020 logic board.


==Symptoms==
In the early 2010s, the US DoE funded a program (the "EV Project") to help solve the chicken-or-egg problem of public charging infrastructure vs EVs to use them. They seeded the country, in several markets, with Level 2 charging stations that used the heavy duty PE-30 model.

# Place your multimeter in continuity mode and measure across the component. LP610 is a filter, so it is essentially a wire. Your reading should be close to 0.01. You will often find this component visually exploded/burned with adjacent trace damage. Usually, there will also be corrosion on the display camera connector which will require replacement of the connector and sometimes the entire display assembly (left side of the primary display connector). If LP610 measures normally, proceed to the next steps. If LP610 is blown or burned, proceed to the "LP610 blown or visibly burned repair steps" below.

# You don't have a board issue until you know you don't have a parts issue. If LP610 measures normally, test with a known good display and display cable, or place the board in a known good housing. If the camera works normally with a different screen/enclosure, the display is the issue and will need to be replaced. BE SURE TO CHECK LP610 FIRST!

Understand that this fault occurred because of a catastrophic short within the TCON board of the display. If you replace LP610 without addressing the display issue, LP610 will fail again.

*Generally, when LP610 blows, there will be corresponding pad and trace damage, and jumper wires will usually be required. 36 or 37 AWG enamel-coated copper wire is recommended for jumper wires in this application due to the power requirements of the webcam and ambient light sensor, which are both powered off this filter.
 
# The recommended jumper point for the input side of the LP610 (PP5v_S2) is CP717 or RD930. Ensure you have continuity between PP5v_S2 and LP610.
# Using conformal coating on the jumper wire is strongly recommended.
# Use a 120 Ohm ferrite filter rated for 1.5 amps in a 402 package size only, preferably from a donor board. Do not substitute a resistor, wire, or fuse.
# After LP610 is replaced, and jumper wires are run as needed, replace the display assembly or replace the camera connectors on both the cable side and TCON board side on the display. If any internal layer damage is noted to the TCON board or camera cable, replace the display assembly.
 
'''Only a display for an A2338 MacBook Pro should be used. An older display for an Intel-based MacBook Air will not work and may cause further damage.'''

This page documents the Ecotality PE-30 EV charging station. This was a robust pedestal for public use, encapsulating the WE-30 hardware that Ecotality made for home use.

In the early 2010s, the US DoE funded a program (the "EV Project") to help solve the chicken-or-egg problem of public charging infrastructure vs EVs to use them. They seeded the country, in several markets, with Level 2 charging stations that used the heavy duty PE-30 model.
