Hi,
we have an iMac Pro 27" in for repair that won't start after a failed OSX update.
Can somebody please provide a BIOS dump for this model?
Best regards!
Hi, got a A1708 820-00840 here that had a tiny liquid spill.
Now it doesn't see the SSD, neither in partition selection nor in disk utility.
Also, most of the time WiFi will not work, but sometimes it does.
The spill was in between the WiFi/BT module and the SSD connector. But it was tiny and...
Ok thanks for the heads up. But actually we already had to turn away a DR job because we didn't have this tool and the board was beyond repair. Just found and ordered one online, let's see what this brings :)
Hi,
I got a 820-3787-A here which will turn black during booting with the trackpad connected (similar to the U9300 issue) but will boot fine without trackpad. If I connect the trackpad after boot, it works without issues. Also shows up as USB device.
In verbose mode the last line before...
Hi,
I have a 820-3787 on my bench that came in with no image. Found L8300 was burned and replaced it, now image is fine and the device works without issues on magsafe only. However, as soon as the battery is connected, the device refuses to start (chimes but no image) or if battery is connected...
Thanks duke, I will check.
But can you (or somebody) help me understand why it works again after a while? Is this behavior usually caused by a heat issue or a problem with a cap not discharging or something like that?
We have this 820-3332 here which initally arrived with a black screen during boot.
Resoldered U8900, now it starts once, then freezes when running GeekBench. It will not turn black or anything but just freeze and needs a forced shutdown.
After that, it will always freeze while booting at around...
Can I join the party? I have a board here since more than two months, resoldered and replaced U8900, replaced GPU but nothing. It is always stuck on the Apple logo. Replaced and reflashed BIOS, still nothing.
No liquid damage or repair history.
Hi,
we have a 820-3476 here which is not seeing the SSD. No repair or water damage history, no visible damage to the connector. All pins except GND measure resistance to ground.
SSD_PWR_EN, PP3V3_S0, SSD_RESET_CONN_L, SSD_CLKREQ_CONN_L, SSD_PCI_SEL_L are 3.4V
Flashed BIOS, replaced SMC

Hi everybody,
we have been replacing tons of Retina LED panels in the last three years, most with the original revisions but some with the generic LG versions (e.g. SJAV instead of SJA1)
There always was the problem that resolution settings didn't match up but our customers never complained...
Figured PECI SA must be a sensor on the SSD, as the fans don't run high when the SSD is removed and also another device shows the same symptoms when this SSD is installed. Will replace the SSD and update the thread.
No Title
No errors. Only error is that MagSafe was not connected.
I found a little corrosion around U7320 and replaced all bad looking parts around it. Also replaced Q7310 as it was not looking too good.
Still the same.
