I've tried booting the iCloud locked board on the external monitor, using the same type-c/hdmi adapter i used on the faulty board, and its showing correctly the screen, so, unfortunately you're right, its about graphic part of cpu, so i guess this is a no-fix case
So, i bought a donor board, its icloud locked but fully functional, now i know the display is 100% working, i've also read the display FPC values and all are the same...
Oh, you are right, i misunderstood the meaning of the line, so its an enable line (1v8) to enable a 5v rail. ok, got it.
I dont have 1.2v on the lid signal, its about 1v, i think its a bit low, i gonna try to force it to 1.5 and if nothing happens i will try 1.8v and post result, thank you.
I found the LID sensor in the corner on the screen is broken, does the macbook m3 need it fully working to show image on screen ? usually disconnecting it the device just bypass it, but im not sure
edp fcp are all good, but i found this live from EDP_BLC_5V_EN should be 5v and i have 1.8v
UP710 get enable from LCD_PWR_EN wich comes from pmic, then it generates all the edp lines, the lines are all present at 1v8 but EDP_BLC_5V_EN should be 5v right? it get 1.8v there
The system has been flashed and the external monitor is showing the login screen, so the mac its 100% working, i gonna try to disassemble the old monitor and check the t-con now, but if you have any suggestion would be very appreciated, thanks
Since when trying to boot on external monitor - sometimes i get a grey empy image (the one of the recovery), sometimes i get recovery screen with the top banner - it may depends on the type-c/hdmi adapter but im not sure...
So i'm trying to restore the device with Apple Configurator 2 to check...
When the damage occurred, i remember the backlight of the keyboard flashed some times, then turned off, now, powering on the machine, the backlight on the keyboard stays off, always.
