Came in with no power and noticed U3900 getting hot on bench power supply. When u3900 is replaced board boots again from bench power supply but when genuine charger is used u3900 shorts out and heats up again.
Board is spotless.
Not sure what to try next.
This board has no power and just randomly died according to customer. No liquid damage.
Meter is at 20v 0.15 amps. PPBUS is 13v. Tried DFU but cannot get the machine into DFU mode.
What should be checked next??
checking diode mode on L7660 found U7800 shorted.
Replaced U7800, short is gone but have a pure short on PP1V8_SLPS2R.
When injecting voltage only the T2 gets hot. Sound like a shorted T2 now??
Arrived with liquid damage and a short on PPBUS_G3H. Injected 1v and found u7660 getting hot. Replaced and short is gone.
PPBUS is 12.33V now bu board stuck at 5v 0.04amps
What should be checked next?
This arrived with no liquid damage and no power. After replacing U7100, the board turns on and works but only with fake charger.
Original charger goes out after a few seconds. Replaced Q7180,Q7010 and D7010 with no change. Surrounding resistors around U7100 measure good.
What should be...
After reballing U3100_R all port behave the same now. 5v 0.25a.
DZ3350 is missing along with its pads. Can this alone prevent 20V??
Have a working board to compare diode mode readings and cant find any ports now that have a different diode mode reading except for PP20V_USBC_R_VBUS still...
The only difference in diode mode readings I can find is 0.172 on PP20V_USBC_R_VBUS, the only port that cycles the meter. The remaining PP20V lines are 0.130
Ive already replaced D3100 C3101_R U3100_R and D3305_CWR
All CC1/CC2 lines now 0.725 after replacing J3300CXT/J3300_CWR
Only reaming issue is 5v and U3100_R causing the meter to cycle. All traces/resistors look good around UB260. Also replaced U3100_R with a known good cd3217 but no change.
What else could cause this?
Arrived with liquid damage in U3100X/u3100T area and U3100R.
Stuck at 5v. Replaced U100X/U3100T and U3100R along with affected resistors and caps. U2800 was shorted and has been replaced as well with a new chip from Mouser. All traces affected by liquid measure good.
When trying to plug into...
This arrived with minor liquid damage in Q5240 area and pin 1 of JP600 with no power.
After reflowing corrosion in Q5240 area board was working again but after a few minutes screen went on and off a few times and now board cant get past 5v. Screen cable is burnt.
Diode mode on LPD_INT_AUX_C_N...
Yes, onboard voltages fluctuates at same time with USB-C ampmeter.
When a battery is connected, the meter does not come on at all, if it does its only for 1-2 seconds. Meter is on around 10 seconds without battery.
Arrived with liquid damage primarily in U6903 area. Replaced U6903 PPBUS_G3H 12.30V Meter is cycling on and off to 5v 0.25
PP3v3_G3H_RTC 3.3v
PP3v3_UPC_XA_LDO 3.3v
PP3v3_UPC_XB_LDO 3.3V
PP1V5_UPC_XB_LDO_CORE 1.5V
PP1V5_UPC_XA_LDO_CORE 1.5V
PP1V8_SLPS2R 1.8V
Checked on another mac and...
Must be a bad T2 then since that's the only thing that heats up on thermal cam.
Noticed a short on pp3v0_mesa. Replaced U4910. Short is gone. 3.3v appears on FL4910 but 0v on C4916
