FIXED! I have WIFI! I guess after the earlier jumper wire installed between L3504 and Q3550 had worked. It was just that L3501 had been knocked off during my many times moving the board around. Thank-you again for your efforts. Thank-you for having patience with a newbie.

Sorry to take your day for this... I did find that L3501 had fallen off at one point of the day (it was there earlier). I replaced it and am getting .372v on all four contacts PCIE_CLK100M_AP_CONN_N - .372v PCIE_CLK100M_AP_N - .372v PCIE_CLK100_AP_P - .372v PCIE_CLK100_AP_CONN_P - .372v With...

Both reading zero with card now connected. Previous without after plugging in different DC-in board. AP_CLKREQ_Q_L- 0v AP_CLKREQ_L - 0v"

R3554 is jumping around when I do an Ohms reading. 178k to 192k jumping. PP3V3_WLAN_F - 3.32v P3V3WLAN_VMON - .995v

Okay changed DC-in U3540 with Airport card connected. PP3V3_S3 - 3.32v P3V3WLAN_VMON - .995v AP_RESET_L - 3.32v AP_RESET_CONN_L - 3.22v GND AP_PWR_EN - 3.32v AP_CLKREQ_Q_L- 3.32v AP_CLKREQ_L - 3.32v

I know how a mosfet works, what my question was is why nothing is passing through. I turned the board over with airport card connected, attached the magsafe and heard a pop. I do not have 3v or 5v rails. I have green light. I am going to have to track this down. So this is done for the time...

I ran a jumper from L3504 (PP3V3_WLAN_F) to Q3550 (PP3V3_WLAN_R) and now get 3.35v, but still no wifi hardware showing up in network pref. I do get Bluetooth, so card is connected. However from pin 3 on Q3550 I am still getting 0v. I realize you said it's a mosfet but power is not going to...

Okay. I'm still learning. As far as XW3552 that isn't present on the board. However a test pad is. TP(1)PP3V3_WLAN_R XW3552 is reading 3.32 I checked continuity from the test pad to Q3550 pin 4 and C3550 pin 1 is present.

I recently bought this 2012 MBP 15" 820-3330-b that had the no wifi hardware detected error. I replaced Q3550 and L3504 but my readings remain similar on all the pieces next to the wifi connector. On Q3550 I know pin 3 (P3V3WLAN_SS) should be reading higher which is why I replaced it from a...

All set thank-you so much for all the help 2informaticos!. It was the missing resistor R7789. I have screen image. This has definitely taught me to look over the board and match things up with my boardview app. This forum is by far the best help out there.

Interesting. My photos of the board when I first pulled it out of the laptop has no R7789 in place. I just checked the top pad LCDBKLT_EN_DIV_L - 8.32 Maybe previous owner knocked it off, which is why I was able to buy it on eBay cheaply. I will check my donor board and replace. Thx. I...

Sorry for the delay, day job... Q7707 with jumper on pads 1 & 3 Q7706 LCDBKLT_EN_DIV_L - 8.31 PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLTFET - 8.58 PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT_FET - .101 F7700 is good. PPBUS_G3H - 8.58 PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLTFET - 8.58

I still get image, but no backlight. Blinking folder appears only with flashlight on back of screen. I removed Q7707 and jumped pads 1 & 3. Voltages at D7701 with screen connected LCDBKLT_BOOST - .016 PPHV_S0SW_LCDBKLT - .016

Back on track. Please remember I am a newbie. When I went to check continuity with D7701, it lifted a bit. That would explain the OL. I reseated it and now have proper readings on everything. PPHV_S0SW_LCDBKLT - .007 D7701 in diode mode with screen connect - .591 and .405 without - .602 and...

Okay. I will place everything back on in the morning and recheck. I will check continuity with D7701 to U7701. Thanks again for the suggestions.
