Anyone know how to get ahold of the hall sensors for the 2016 and newer MacBook Pro models? I'm going through them faster than my donor boards can supply. It's the chip with 3 legs vs the older ones with 5 legs.
Any hall sensor with same size should serve.
Just in case, check datasheet (if available), to confirm pins layout.
You can also check some schematics of normal laptop boards, to find a model.
Hi, thanks, the reason this part is so tricky is that it's not on the schematic because of that 8-ball mount. The 2016 and later Pros are the only computer I know of that uses the 3-pin version.
Of course, there's no problem following the trace. I'm not talking about issues fixing the board, I'm just trying to replace the sensor and I don't what it is because it's not on the schematic. Just trying to find a part.
thanks, yeah, i've used up all my donors so i just need to find a supply of new ones. unfortunately, everything on Mouser looks too big. the ones on the new MacBook pros are small. i'll keep looking. I should be able to find them somewhere eventually.
Will do. Not looking good though. I'm not coming up with anything. Everything on Mouser is too big. The ones on the newer MacBook Pros are only 1.5mm wide. Everything I'm finding is 2.8mm.
