I have removed and connected the board , hdd and all the connections. Now good news is image and backlight is there. I suspect something were wrong with smc/Pram memory. The touchpad flex cable might had a short internally. I don’t want to try this broken cable anymore. Ordered new one. Waiting...
I don't think there is any image on the screen. At least I can't see anything on the screen. But there is 24.7V on PPHV_S0SW_LCDBKLT. Apple logo light at the backside of the lid is glowing now. DP_INT_HPD is continuously varying between 2.45V to 2.55V.
smc_lid - I have disconnected the flex cable --- > Voltage is 3.4V when the display LID is open. Voltage is 0 when the LID is closed. Still, I don't see a backlight. I am testing without flex able. And I have ordered a new cable. Does this cable and backlight are related ???
Looks like the flex cable contact is bad, I have tried to fix it and inserted again. Now I don't see the backlight anymore, Basically, EDP_BKLT_EN is missing. But still, there is a chime sound. When I bypassed Q7707 the entire screen is white.
Yes, the problem solved, I have shorted the 1st and 6th pins of Q7707. Found the backlight is present. Then I have replaced the Q7707 with a new one. Now it's perfect. Thanks for the support
Now I can see both BKLT_PLT_RST_L and EDP_BKLT_EN are present and 3.3 V but Q7706 is not functioning I mean I get 0V at PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT_FET. And 8.3V at PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLTFET.
I don't have Q7707 MOSFETs spare. Am I allowed to connect LCDBKLT_EN_DIV_L directly to Ground for testing purpose?
Sorry, My approach was different. My Apologies.
Back to the board, I have removed U7420, Now PPBUS_G3H gives 0.373V in diode mode. Which means there is no short. Should I replace the FDMF5808A (U7420) with a new one?
I have removed the three inductors and measured the resistance at 1st and 2nd pin of the inductors.
2nd pin of all the inductors are 1.8 ohm .
1st pin resistance are below.
L7430 1st pin - 1.017K
L7420 1st pin - 425 Ohm
L7410 1st pin - 1.017K
.......
Please ignore what I did, do you have any...
Sorry Just noticed that
After removing the inductor's Load side is 1.6 Ohm (2nd pins of all three inductors).
L7430 1st pin - 1.017K
L7420 1st pin - 425 Ohm
L7410 1st pin - 1.017K
