Hi.

I've got an A1707 820-00928-A without backlight.

The mac seams to boot, I have CAPS activity, but 0V on PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT and 1.1200 on diode reading.

I've already tried with a good display, but same result.

Should I replace U8400 or is there any tests to make before?

Is there internal image for sure?

Do you get 3V3/5V_S0SW_LCD?

Check DP_INT_HPD; LCD connected.
Also check diode mode at J8500's pins 1 & 3.

BTW, do you get external video?

Hi.

DP_INT_HPD = 0V

J8500 diode reading:
1= OL
3= 0.179

I tought I had external video, but now I don't have external video with the board alone on the desk

"1= OL
3= 0.179"
Did you check both with red probe on ground?
You should get very similar readings.

Hi.

I've confirmed and those values are correct:

J8500 diode reading:

43 = 1.189
1= OL
3= 0.179

Bad trace to pin 1?
However, 0.179 looks lower than expected at pin 3.
You should change U9850.

I've replaced U9850 and now I have 0.495 on pin 1 & 3 of J8500, but still no image.

DP_INT_HPD still 0V?
Tried known good LCD assembly again?
External video missing now?

Hi.

DP_INT_HPD still has 0V and no external video.

What about CPU core voltage?
Can you confirm Caps Lock reaction, or USB activity?
