Hey duke,are you sure? board number 820-4924, they really don't power up when it disconnect the batteries, every machine I saw here. must connect then it will power up.it's 2015 model
having lot of a1502 liquid spilled machines every month, 2015 models.
as we all know,without a good battery, the board won't power on for this 2015 model. questions is where do you guys this 2015 a1502 models battery??
ebay is selling around 80, quite expensive,not the biggest issue,thing is...
Having a a1502 2015 model,820-4924.
got liquid spilled on q7310, replaced.
check ppbus_s5_HS_COMPUTING,shorted to ground. found that q7310 is bad, replaced, q7310 and q7311.
Everything looks ok, then connected to charger. ppbus_G3h normal around 12. ppbus_s5_HS_computing is present and close...
got you, I think most likely has something to do with the temp,I usually just solder the new chipset on directly without reballing with leaded balls. must be the temp was too high and affect the VRAM.i will try with reballing
thanks
really? I bought like 30 from them, usually like 85% would work , 15% will either return or have same distortion after replacement.
so you get them from SEE and all GPU replacements didn't come back?
As we know the extended warranty for the 2011 GPU issue will end soon. I can imagine a lot of machines will need the GPU replacement service from us soon.
not a big deal doing the BGA for this model since we did a lot already, but the real headache is the chipset...
well I know what you guys...

I know I know, you guys would say "come on man give up on this 10 years old shit"
but when this is a 2.6ghz board and customer is willing to pay 200 for it, I can't stop my greed,lol.
anyway, the problem is that the board can't boot into the OS. thought it's the common NVVIDIA chipset...
Hi guys,
working on an a1278 820-3115 board, it got liquid spilled before, around SMC area, no power at all originally.

Im working on a 820-3662 board, it's experiencing intermittent shut down while the laptop is being used. sometimes the graphics will get pixelated before that.
