I can't find any more water damaged boards on such short notice. Shame I tossed some of them out a while ago. A friend of mine repairs phones, he's got some water damaged boards. I'll try a few of those tomorrow. EMAG already mailed me that I can return the device, I'm thinking I'll do that and...

I wouldn't, or at least not until you're wasting a more bothersome portion of your time doing these no-repair diagnostics. I think people are more likely to view your business in a positive light if they're not paying for what feels to them as nothing. Great service! As long as you have a way...

Macbook turns on, gets to loading OS X, at about 70% through it shuts off. Hardware test gives me error PPM002 and the macbook shuts off when trying to boot through to recovery partition, or shortly after it does boot. Memtest throws errors (last try about 127 of em) and stopped at [CPU Error]...

Time for an update. I postponed my UC purchase until after finishing my new workplace, which finally happened a few weeks back. I'm now the owner of an EMAG Emmi-D40 cleaner. I got it straight through EMAG, who are selling it at a discount: €386 before taxes, including shipping (from Germany to...

I indeed noticed a few screws missing when I removed the hinge cover. Thats one more supplier to scrap off my list. I have a complaint waiting to be answered by the supplier, but I expect little from it. Thanks to the both of you. I'm a little worried that glue will get messy indeed, so I'll...

So I thought I found a possibly good source for macbook parts, but I was wrong. Ordered an assembly for a 15 inch A1398, received it today to find it came with a warped rubber bezel/gasket. See images. The screen works fine, but that gasket sticking up looks bad. My first course of action is to...

I've replaced the LVDS connector and LP8550. Tested it with a functional screen and cable, screen works! The LVDS cable in the water damaged mac actually looked clean, so I decided to risk it and try it in the case it came out of, and it works too. Ram slots are working fine too, turns out it...

update: Just noticed that J5800 has two blackened pins; 19 and 21. 21 has no voltage, should be PP18V5_S5. 19 has SMBUS_SMC_A_S3_SCL = 3.3V, which I assume to be okay. I looked at PP18V5_S5, it starts at U5805 as PP18V5_S5_FB U5805 has nothing on pins 1, 4, 5 and 8. Pin2 (PP5V_S5) = 5.02V...

Corrosion all over the place (see images). Symptoms I get a green light on the charger, machine switches on and fan starts spinning. After about 10 seconds, the fan speeds up to max RPM (heatsinks are in place) If I have a stick of ram in the top slot, I get the gong to play, but no display...

Hi everyone, here's yet another dutchman who dabbles in logic board repairs. I'm looking at some important lab upgrades and I believe the most pressing matter is gaining the ability to clean boards properly. Its beyond time for me to toss the ole alcohol infused toothbrush 'n eardiggers and...
