there were plenty of 8gb ram upgrades but that wasn't what i was looking for. i wanted 16gb ram upgrade. i only found one guy who did it on youtube which is why i asked the quesiton. Anyways, i think i ordered the correct ram (not sure becuase the video wasn't that high quality) and followed...
Is it possible to upgrade 00165/00164 to 16gb ram? I've been done 8gb but these days on newer os they are running pretty slow. I have a 4gb 00165that customer sold to me instead of fixing and wanted to upgrade to 16gb if possible. If it can which ram type do i need?
I don't have a good board to test on :( only donor board that a bunch of parts are taken off of. here are the diode values of j6100. pin 26 (mesa enable) is ground. i'm assuming this is a dead t2. have 2 questions. is it possible to be anything else besides t2? and second question is it...
was water damaged around audio ic/headphone jack. board was very clean no corrsion. was only getting 5v until i swapped out the cd3215 and now i have 20v .07amp draw. it is not turning on.
just for an update on this case. i ordered a donor board and dioded tested all the pads comparing to the working board. found a reading that was off and found a resistor that was not to spec. replaced it along both chips and now have speakers. moral of the story is test all the lines :)
Just trying to understand here. if t2 was damaged wouldn't that stop the laptop from powering on? and second question. Since c6406 was short to ground (PPBUS_G3H_SPKRAMP_LEFT) wouldn't that have stopped power from going to t2?
Came in heavily corroded. I ultrasonic cleaned and reaplced both bad CD3217 and now computer is turning on. everything is working execpt there is no sound. sound is being detected in system prefs but sound is coming out of speakers. i found a couple of shorts around u6400 so i removed it and...
got a 00165 which came in no with only green light. opened it up and it had screw was loose on MLB connected to L1290 which was melted. took the coil off tested both sides to make sure not short and replaced it. it now it has quarter fan spin. im assuming this is gonna be a dead pch but can...
Took a second look over the board & noticed u8295 getting hot. Removed the chip and Pin 5&6 were short (PP3v3_s0_left)
Used an infrared camera and sent 1.8v through the line and it led to C2991(PP3v3_TBT_X_S0). Removed the Cap but short is still present.
The USB gets power but no communication/activity.
None of the big CPU coils get voltage on them
L7900: 1.2v
L8410: 3.3v
L7960: 0.95v
L8000: 1.0v
PPBUS_G3H: 11.34
PP3v3_sus: 3.29
PP3v3_G3H: 3.3
PP5V_S0: 5.1
CPUCORE_BOOT1: 4.8V
CPUCORE_BOOT2: 4.8v
CPUCORE_BOOT3: 4.8v
CPUCORE_BP1: 4.8v
CPUCORE_PHASE1: 0v
CPUCORE_PHASE2: 0v
CPUCORE_ISNS1_N: 0v
CPUCORE_SW1: 0v
There is USB Activity
I have not tried a known good bios yet
Client brought in a macbook - 820-00928 that wasn't turning on.
It takes in 20V .1A- .8A fluctuating on all 4 ports
Liquid damage on U3906 area
No Voltage on Big coils
Cleaned up corrosion
Lifted U3906 removed corrosion.
With a new known good battery it takes 2-3A - cpu doesnt get hot...
