    820-3437 - Probing SMC_RESET_L makes SMC reset

    I got this liquid damaged 820-3437. History is minor liquid spill around U5110. Was not starting. After UC starts when plugin in power supply. Now when I push pwr on keyboard it immediately resets smc (charger goes green and machine reboots). Also as soon as I put the test-probe on SMC_RESET_L...

    [SOLVED]12" A1534

    The 2015-model has MLB#820-00045 as Therealkilometers say The 2016-model has MLB#820-00244 and is a bit different. I haven't found the schematics and brd for the 2016 and I am missing some information on some components on this particular model. So if you happen to have the 2016-model in hand...

    SPI resistors getting dragged down

    No I didn't fix it yet. I put it in the to-do pile and wanted to get back to this with fresh eyes some day. But it is still lying there :-) I suspect mine has several issues because of the inconsistency in power and the weird chime-thing. The SPI was for sure corrupted because when I read the...

    [SOLVED]820-2915 Weird backlight issue

    Thanks Duke for pointing me in the direction of measuring diode mode on C9704 with R9704 removed. It showed up that I had a microscopic OL around the probe point for C9704. I couldn't even see it in the microscope on highest zoom setting. But the multimeter saw it :) Made a trace and brightness...

    [SOLVED]820-2915 Weird backlight issue

    This one came in with severe water damage. After ultrasonic cleaning and fixing CPU VCORE power issue it started up with no backlight. I knew it would because it had a lot of corrosion around backlight circuitry. I changed all corroded resistors and caps around LP8550 and also the LP8850 itself...

    820-4924 2015 MBP13 PWR-BTN issue

    Battery was not saying replace and did not fail on "D-diagnostics". I gave the computer back to customer. He needed it urgently so he must live with holding the power button for now. We'll see if it comes back :D Thanks

    Hi guys I got a liquid spilled MacBook 12 inch retina newest model. The board is 820-00244 but I cannot find schematics and board view for it anywhere online.

    820-3332 Video blackscreens sometimes, now fan will only spin sometimes

    It's hard to hear where the sound precisely is coming from just by sticking your ear to the board. I sometimes make a paper cone with a little hole in the one end and use it as a sound funnel while moving around on top of the board. Very simple but it helps me to identify the culprit.

    820-2936 No Hard Drive

    Why are they not breaking in the 15 inch models? Here they are also bended but I don't remember changing one. In 13 inch I change them every day.
