think we're getting closer, there was a line break which I couldn't see between SMC_XTAL test port and R5110/Y5110
Ran jumper, still same issues but im now getting 1.1V on pin 3 of Y5110 which i guess is good news
Oh I see, that's good to know.
both lines are 0.5 in diode and 3.41 in voltage
PP3v3_S5_AVREF_SMC is 3.3 yep
All around the SMC is checking out OK, I've specifically also replaced R5100 because it looked a little toasty, but it did measure fine even before
Hi there amigos
I have a 00165 here with what I thought was going to be a basic no green light repair but it's turning into a rabbit hole. There was corrosion around SMC, no much. PPBUS_G3H is low at 8.16v PP3v42 is actually just consistently 3.41.
SMC_RESET_L is on 3V
Have replaced SMC. same...
replaced all USB controllers. there seems to be some sort of delay with data connections to USB C. for the first 5 mins after the OS boots it doesn't react with external devices (but is able to charge) after 5 mins it's perfectly normal
When trying to boot into external drive, it fails halfway...
SOLVED. replaced u7000 again and made sure current sensing circuit has correct resistance. all working.
Moral of the story, just because you replace a part doesn't mean it's not faulty again.
thank you!
All good in regards to the traces and solder joints.
Changed C7025 and checked if its turned into a wire but it was fine. However pin 23/27 have direct continuity. i'm guessing this is on purpose
Resistance between 17/18 is 2-3 ohms and on 27/28 it's around 20-25 ohms
so current sensing seems...
the current sensing resisters were toast as well as ISL6259 (short to ground on current sensing pins)
R7005 was also high resistance. replaced all of this and all have the correct values now.
PPbus is on 4.3 volts.
the SMC SCL and SDA lines are both 3.42v
I also replaced Q7080 with no change...
Actually, I just realized while the MacBook works, as soon as i hit the power button the SMC resets (turns green) @2informaticos
I also cant use option key to boot from my own drive before startup, it does nothing
hello there!
have solved some issues on this already. mainly it was compeltely dead, no green light and no boot.
has had water damage but im not sure if that was the cause, i have a feeling it was to do with a fake charger to begin with. anyway, to start with i replaced ISL 6259 and also both...
