Hi there! Revisiting this today. Bought donor board and have reablled SMC from a 820-00138-a board but I noticed the board i'm repairing is 820-00138-05
have tested that SMC and while I get the orange / green light and while the light turns screen when i try SMC bypass, it's not doing anything...
AVREF_SMC is good at 3.3
Nothing at PBUS_S0_VSENSE because there's no SMC_sensor_PWR_EN
DCIN_S5_VSENSE is 2.8V
SMC_CPU_VSENSE 0V
SMC_P1V05S0_VSENSE 0V (I'm guessing all S0 are down for obvious reasons)
SMC_CPUDDR_ISENSE 0V
SMC_P3V3S5_ISENSE 0V
How would it be possible to check sensors...
I should mention, before it died the customer told me that it would only work with power supply plugged in. Would cut out as soon as it's disconnected.
Hi there!
Have 820-00165 green/orange light, no fan spin. SMC bypass works. Was pretty corroded in some places. thought i'd try my luck with the ultra sonic but same issue
So must be a sensor as I understand it?
thanks!
Actually, it wasn't from the same model donor. the chip has the same markings. I guess you're going to tell me now that the programming is different hahaha
I can't find SMC_AVREF in the schematic or board view
