Hi 2informaticos !
Thank you for your answer. I am just getting back to it today, and actually I can't finish the OS loading. The artefacts comes while booting and seems to freeze the Mac.
I guess that if it's iGPU related it's game over for this board. But is it if it's RAM related, how...
Hello,
I have here a 820-00165-A from a MacBook Air A1466 with a strange issue to me. At the beginning, the board was not powering on, no liquid damage. After further mesurement, I replaced the SMC and since this, the board powered on, can boot, but artefacts come very quickly after boot...
Hi Rossmann's repair group crew,
Here is the behavior of the board : when I plug the charger, it ramp to 20V 150mA, stay there for 10 sec, then 20V 0A for a few seconds, and finally goes back to 20V 150mA and stay there. There is obviously no image, no CPU activity, just the fan spin for 3-4...
I am using Amtech flux from Rossmann store so I reckon it's not crap flux :) and I cleaned the board twice in a ultrasonic cleaner so if crap was there it would be gone indeed.
Do you think it worth the try to heat more the PCH ? I don't want to destroy it, more of that it could be something else than the PCH that I have no find yet...
Hello,
I have light on charger, but no fan spin.
Historic : Macbook was find in a dump, no fan spin but after cleaning the backlight keyboard connector it worked fine. I ultrasonic the board even if it looked clean, but 2 months later I have this problem.
PPBUS_G3H = 8,6V
PPDCIN_G3H_ISOL =...
Good call diag mode. I have 2 error codes, PFM006 related to the SMC and PPN001 related to the power management. I don't have any SMC for this board to try right now, but if there is crap under the SMC maybe a reballing would be enough. Before, do you have a good board like this to compare some...
The only thing strange is the "Heatpipe outgoing Air" sensor, which is fun because there is no heatpipe on these...the temp is 128°C. Also it shows me 0.00V on something called "Mainboard S0 Rail", I don't think it makes sense, the Mac wouldn't run if it was the case.
Hi !
I hate to work on this board, no fan spin = no fun. The board was liquid damaged, came here with no image. I refurbished the LCD connector that had minor corrosion and replaced the flex, LCD came back. When LCD went back, I discovered there was no KB no TP, the TP flex was damaged so I...
Hi, so to let you know the end of this, I removed the CPU properly and the short is gone, so the problem was the CPU or the connexions to the CPU. I know it's a pain in the ass to reattach a CPU to a motherboard but I have time to spend on it and it worth the try as I have some junk 820-3437-B...
haha exactly like a massage at a wood foot ! I'l try it and let you know at least if the short was coming from there. I would be very sad to remove the CPU and still have the short...
