Schematics for Pi 2

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am trying to find the schematics for the Pi 2?

 

Are they available?

    If you read through even a few of the previous posts (generally a good thing to do before re-asking a question that has already been answered) you

    would know that only limited schematics of the B+ and no schematics for the 2B or 3B have been released. Look all you want to, you won't find them

    or even a hint of a official reason as to why you won't find them.

    Hello Garry, thanks for your answer, but I had already seen the previous posts, a lot of them, but they are a bit old. I know it is not company policy to give access to this kind of material, but Apple also has this type of conduct and I have a lot of computers schemesof his products. It´s an absurd I have a card faulty and can´t fix it ,because it does not have access to what is basic to make a decent repair form, we can not even know officially what voltage have to have the PP27. Thanks

    Hi Ricardo,

     

    Sorry for the testy reply but this is a long running sore spot with me as you can probably tell by my previous responses. AFAIK it is now and for the future the (stupid)

    policy of the Raspberry Pi Foundation not to release schematics (full or otherwise) for the previously mentioned Pis or even to provide a reason as to why they won't.

    I keep hoping that eventually enough pressure will be applied to change it but so far I have little hope this will actually happen because there doesn't appear to be

    any real incentive (read competition) to do so. It has definitely cut down but not eliminated my incentive to buy Raspberry Pis.

     

     

    @ Parker

     

    Only if the "partial" part is where the problem is, otherwise you're SOL. This is especially true with the 5+ layer boards common today as there is no way to follow

    traces in the inner layers. At that point it is use a multi-meter and a LOT of probing and guessing which is also problematic due to Ball Grid Array packaging (all

    the leads are under the package and therefor invisible) and very, very (very) small leads on surface mount chips.
