Hi, we have an iMac Pro 27" in for repair that won't start after a failed OSX update. Can somebody please provide a BIOS dump for this model? Best regards!

Hi, got a A1708 820-00840 here that had a tiny liquid spill. Now it doesn't see the SSD, neither in partition selection nor in disk utility. Also, most of the time WiFi will not work, but sometimes it does. The spill was in between the WiFi/BT module and the SSD connector. But it was tiny and...

Ok thanks for the heads up. But actually we already had to turn away a DR job because we didn't have this tool and the board was beyond repair. Just found and ordered one online, let's see what this brings :)

Why not bother?

Can anybody order this for me and ship to Germany?

Which country are you lookin in? We can do that, but we are in Germany.

Hi, I got a 820-3787-A here which will turn black during booting with the trackpad connected (similar to the U9300 issue) but will boot fine without trackpad. If I connect the trackpad after boot, it works without issues. Also shows up as USB device. In verbose mode the last line before...

Ok thanks duke. we might bail out of this one.

Hi, I have a 820-3787 on my bench that came in with no image. Found L8300 was burned and replaced it, now image is fine and the device works without issues on magsafe only. However, as soon as the battery is connected, the device refuses to start (chimes but no image) or if battery is connected...

We have this 820-3332 here which initally arrived with a black screen during boot. Resoldered U8900, now it starts once, then freezes when running GeekBench. It will not turn black or anything but just freeze and needs a forced shutdown. After that, it will always freeze while booting at around...

Can I join the party? I have a board here since more than two months, resoldered and replaced U8900, replaced GPU but nothing. It is always stuck on the Apple logo. Replaced and reflashed BIOS, still nothing. No liquid damage or repair history.

Am I the only one wondering about why there is a NSFW warning in the title?

Yeah, tried that of course. Isn't seen at all. Sorry for not mentioning.

Hi, we have a 820-3476 here which is not seeing the SSD. No repair or water damage history, no visible damage to the connector. All pins except GND measure resistance to ground. SSD_PWR_EN, PP3V3_S0, SSD_RESET_CONN_L, SSD_CLKREQ_CONN_L, SSD_PCI_SEL_L are 3.4V Flashed BIOS, replaced SMC Of...
