Hi,

I have got 820-2914-a that is not turning on. No light on magsafe. Checked ISL62 and it seems be ok. Reistance between 17/18 and 27/28 is fine.


PPBUS is los 1,7V

PPDCIN_G3H is fluctuating from 16,8 to 17,1.

Checked resistance arroung ISL and also didnt find nothing wrong.


PP3V42_G3H - 3.45V.

Before checking S3 and S5 lines. Is there any idea why it is fluctuating if ISL and all componentes arround are ok?


Thanks

Update. I repassed ISL and changed it again. Now not fluctuating sometimes. Sometimes it is going up and down. PPBUS is ok. Still no green light on charger.

Again GPU?:D this week is GPU deatch week. Any way to check it and be sure that GPU is dead?

PDCIN is low anyway. It must be about 18 and it is 17V.

"It must be about 18 and it is 17V."
WOW, such a "BIIIG" difference!!!
Do you really think is that relevant???

"PPBUS is ok."
12.2V, or 12.6V?

Post U6900/01 voltages.
Did you try another DCIN board?

What about SMC_RESET_L, SMC_ADAPTER_EN, PM_BATLOW_L, 3V3_S5, 3V3_SUS?
Are you using 85W charger?

PPBUS 12.2V, is that means SMC is not working?

U6900

Pin 1 ,4,5 3.4V

U6901

Pins 1,2, 3.3 V
Pin 3 0V
Pin 4,5 3,4 V


SMC_RESET_L - 3.4V
SMC_ADAPTER_EN - 0V
PM_BATLOW_L - 0V
PP3V3_S5 - is present
3V3_SUS - 0V


The charger is 85W and already tried know working dc in.

So PPBUS_G3H is not OK at all.
Do NOT assume things like this in the future.

"PM_BATLOW_L - 0V"
Also no good.
Post SMC_BATLOW_L and PM_SLP_SUS_L too.

Check continuity from U6900 to DCIN central pin (Magsafe connector).

It was bad SMC, changed it now it boots, light is ok PPBUS is 12,6 but after apple load stack on white screen. GPU is dead. heat it up and doesnt work. So disabled dedicated GPU and now mac us rinning ok with secondary graphic card.
