Sorry, I could find the J3470, neither on the schematics nor in BoardView, I am obviously missing something. I had to plug in the external keyboard to Alt boot, internal keyboard didn't let me do that
the U3740 pin1 - 3.4v, pin 2 - 0v, pin 8 - 0.08v, (I checked those when plugged but not on)
The keyboard seems to be completely unresponsive now, apart of the power button, no trackpad either
Ok, it started up, somehow it starts up now. Get the picture, black screen "question mark folder", doesn't see the disk for some reason, the keyboard also doesn't work. I tried the ssd in another mac and its booting and loading os so it must be something to do with the motherboard. Should I...
Thanks for all the help
After triggering, PM_PWRBTN_L jumped from 3.4v to 2.6v and back to 3.4v
I am testing without the battery being plugged in - not sure if that matters
Just tried plugging it in with an original 45w charger and battery/fan/speaker. Got a chime but no fan spin so I...
Unfortunately, I don't have an oscilloscope :( I believe I would need it to see the pulsing?
Just a multimeter to use
I am not totally new but still learning.
The multimeter doesn't pick up any voltage
SMC_ADAPTER_EN 3.37v
PM_BATLOW_L 0.03v
PM_RSMRST_L 3.28v
I am hoping it is still possible to...
All 3.3 lines have 3.3v
I am getting 4.9v on c7505 that's part of PP5V_S5, but 0v on two components on PP5v_S4, PP5v_S3 also 0v
Those checks I do with only power connected, The light on the charger switches from green to amber and back to green in 10 sec intervals
I tried with speaker and fan only. I might have messed it up as it was definitely longer than 10 min but my crest has a sweeping function, its the recommended one for those jobs. D7010 present. C7101 is 5.45v C7100 same C7105 16.45V, C7122 14.33v, C7120 0v those are around U7100.
C7012 8.15v ( i...
Hi,
Received the MacBook in for non-responsive keyboard. Upon inspection, Unit was fully working with the external keyboard. It would accept keyboard shortcuts at boot but nothing once we were in os. We found quite a few places with liquid residue. Put it through cleanup in crest ultrasonic...
I did disconnect the trackpad - chime, white screen , no logo, but i think its because it was off for long. when trying again i got no chime black screen.
I will go through the whole board again maybe I missed something
ok. when i unplug the battery and let it like that for a couple of minutes then it boots again, only once thou. But i can alwatys repeat it and it starts up. ASD is showing some new errors: Detected Trackpad Error (trackpad works), ERROR 8000000E when testing SensorGroupLimits.prm. Biggest...
Hi,
Thank you for the bios.
I've programmed the chip, poped it on and it booted straight away.
Issue is it wont do that again. I shut it down and its back to square one :/
the chip is on the board - checked the legs and pads.
No chime now :/
Hi,
Thank you for the quick reply!
I tried that bios as it supposed to arrive quicker than the programmer. At least some progress :)
I've dumped the BIOS - I hope I have done it right - chose first model after running autodetect. File is too large for me to upload here but here is the google...
Ok. I got the programmer. I also got the preprogrammed bios chip. I swapped the chips and it is better but extremely slow on boot. I got it up once with a spare disk I have for this model. On clients disk it only let me get to the login in safe mode - and only happened once. Tried booting from...
Thank you for the advice. Sorry to be a pain, this bios flashing utility is new to me, do I need any special adapters or the programmer on its own is fine? I can get this in uk...
no I dont. Would you say that the fact that I am unable to perform PRAM reset indicates bios issues? Is there a way I could confirm it prior to bios replacement?
ok, only battery, speakers and fans plugged in, i get chime but no reaction to the reset key combination. tried both usb ports and the keyboard works on other systems.
Hi dukefawks, I was unable to do pram reset with external either.I am not convinced that it even detects the keyboard as no lights are present on the external keyboard
