Yes, installed os on a new ssd, have not tried a new sata cable but I cant see that this would do it
Once it gets going it will work forever, shutting down, restarting etc all works. Only when i leave it off for a couple of hours it goes back to this cutting off
I can boot into recovery with no...
Hi
Strange one.
Works perfectly when booting to recovery or usb stick, but cots the power on normal boot, the moment a first bit of the progress bar gets filled.
Did smc, vram reset, new os instalation - it seems to work then. But after cooling off (next day ie) it happens again.
Checked the...
I am too ignorant to understand what is the source of this issue. My uneducated guess would be the backlight driver(?) Can change it again
Please assist
Yeah, the ones I did last Sunday, I thought you were asking about voltages now sorry
I just checked other BLK_isense in diode mode and they are 0.614 but this one is 0
Hi, thanks for the message
XW7720, all in order continuity present from pin 5 of U7701 and to D7701
U7701 voltages
3 - 2.84 V
4 - 2.57 V
11 - 5.12 V
14 - 3.34 V
Cheers
Hi again,
Replaced the U7701 as well as F7700, also changed D7701 as it was showing same voltage on both ends
now - still no backlight
U7701 readings
1 - GND 0
2 - GND 0
3 - 2.865
4 - 0.559
5 - 0.636
6 - 0.427
7 - 0.427
8 - 2.952
9 - 0
10 - 0
11 - 0.461
12 - 2.655
13 - 0...
ok
U7701
Pins
1 0.002
2 0.002
3 0.564
4 0.0
5 started burning - most likely I put the wrong probe on but cant say as I dropped it
disconnected from power and rechecked the f7700, will have to replace it again
Pin 4 is now in -1.8
Just thinking - was my mistake measuring it while powered on?
JohnB8812 F7700 was fine but I accidentally killed it after taking the measurement
2informaticos PIN 2 according to the schematics, the other pin was 0v
That was the case. I have learned something today :)
No short now
R7788 - 300koms
R7789 - 146 kOms
Looking fine
Will replace f7700 and investigate further
ok
continuity between D7701 and A5 ball of U7701
(all voltages taken with screen connected, psu connected, no battery)

F7700 was ok but I shorted it while measuring voltage ( touched both the shield and...
