Switch to diode mode and measure the resistance between J6640 and grounding, J6620 and grounding. The resistance value between J6640 and grounding is normal. The measured resistance value between 35# of J6620 and grounding is 293. The measured resistance value between 33# of J6620 and grounding is 384. Abnormal value for the two Pins. The normal value should be 690. Since 33# and 35# of J6620 connect with U6650 directly, we can conclude that U6650 broke down.
