Original issue was no power due to corrosion damaged capacitors, C6405, C6416 and C6482. Once power was restored, the computer boots up and runs fine with or with power adapter plugged in. But whenever the power adapter is plugged in, or power button is pressed to turn on, apple logo comes on...
Board originally had corrosion damage and not powering up. After cleaning, replaced U1900, U7600, U1950, C5125. Also repaired trace between C1950(1) and U1950(8). It worked for about a week and now not powering up again. When i place heat using a soldering iron directly on U1950 for about a...
Originally the board was dead which i isolated to the smc. Once replaced, the fan would spin for like 12 seconds, stop and then start spinning and stays spinning but no board activity, no usb activity either. I did noticed the bluetooth module was getting very hot so removed it but the board...
Awesome. There were two other caps that I found that were shorted. I just got side tracked by those when I was wrapping up. Never even got to test it. Guess I should have tested my work before going down this rabbits trail. Thanks for the info.
Have this board with Touch Bar issues. Found the short but the boardview for this board doesn’t seem to match this version. Anyone have an idea what other components these are ties to as I’ve removed both capacitors and a third on the other side of the board and the short is still there. See...
Anyone seen this before, the board is constantly stuck in DFU mode, even without power applied. When power is applied, never goes into 20v. I've tried revive and restore with the same error coming up, see picture. Get this error with power applied and without.
Believe I've isolated the short to U2800. It shorts out C2975 to 78. The short is also present on L2950. With L2950 pulled, pin 1 reads 1.20ohms while pin 2 which also ties back to U2800 reads 40ohms.
Before i pull this chip, any suggestion on what stencil to get for this chip and possibly where...
No activity on cpu core rails.
Without J9600, 3V3_S0 still low at 2.8
PP3V3_S0_LEFT - 0.12
PP3V3_S5 - 3.3
PM_SLP_S3_L - 3.3
P3V3S0_CAP - 1.7
Measured pin 5 of U8295 and it's shorted to ground. Searching for the source now.
This board came in with no sign of liquid damage but won't power up. Only things i've found so far is PP3V3_S0 reading 2.8 and the ssd chips are warm (not hot), but the red spot in the picture is ready about 104 degrees (F). So i ran the board through the ultrasonic just case there were some...
After cleaning up the corrosion, i'm still not able to get past T2 error. Getting a different T2 error now (see picture). Checked the voltages from the chips affected by the corrosion, U9000 and U9080
PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 - 2.5
PP0V9_SSD0 - 0.98
PP1V8_SSD0 - 1.8
