I reballed the SMC again.
Now I'm almost sure my reballing job is ok.
Unfortunately The board reacts the exact same way: DEAD SMC
00165 are compatible with 00164 right?
Reballed SMC :
Short to GND for SMC_TDI and SMC_TCK GONE both: 3.414V
Goes in S3 State
Fan Spin at ful speed around few minutes then stops
NO Green Led
PPBUS_G3H: 8.19V
SMC_ADAPTER_EN: 0V
SMC_S4_WAKESRC_EN: 0V
All symptoms looks like SMC Dead or pb in reballing ( I'm not an expert in...
WD, passed in the UC
2 Quarter Fan Spin
No green Light
PPBUS_G3H: 8.19V U7100 not talking to SMC
PP3V42: 3.415V
PPVRTC_GH: 3.328V
PP5V_S5: 4.987V
PP5V_S4RS3: 0V
CPUVCore, Pins 7 & 3 of U1950 twice too
Able to read SPI Rom, and doesn't look corrupted.
Checked all SPI Bus Series Termination...
I'm mesuring 2.9Ohms directly on pins 17/18 of the ISL, if you remove around 1 Ohm of the fluke probes it's OK.
Triple Checked the soldering there shoud be OK , what do you think?
I came back to that board and noticed that I've lost the ppbus with the charger (0.7V) so I decided to check with the battery only: the U7000 fried!
Replaced,checked R17/18 and R27/28 before putting back under power: R17/18 too high: 174Ohms checked my soldering job around ISL, found out R7051...
Hi 2Informaticos,
I'm surprised to notice that there no U5413 on that 820-2879 Board........interesting no?.................hummmmm!
I should maybe work with some other board schematic or think about U7000?
It is 2879 board
Already checked R17/18: 3 Ohms R27/28: 20 Ohms
With Official Apple 85W charger the green light turns ON but still the board doesn't turn ON
When the battery plugged Green light stays green doesn't turn Orange.
Turns ON with the battery but fan ramps up to full speed: CPU...
water damage around U6500
PPBUS 12.57V but going down after 3-5 sec
PP3V42 : OK but NO green light
Reflowed U7200 now PPBUS OK: 12.57V and green light came then went after unpluggled the charger
S5 Rails OK
S3 Rails NOK when shorting power pads (R5015)
No PM_SLP_S4_L
PM_BATLOW_L: 0V...
I've forgot to mention that I saw minor corrosion at J9500 between pin4 and 10, that of course I've cleaned and quickly re heated.
Maybe invisible crap under it... Will pass it in the UC, if not successfull replace J9500.
What do you think ?
Of course, do NOT use Magsafe adaptor 1-->2!!!:
YES SURE, I only une official 85W cables (magesafe 1 and 2 ) connected to Lab Power Supply
SMC_BC_ACOK: 3.387V
SYS_ONEWIRE: wave with peak to peak : 1.50V it should be 3.3V no?
Adapter sense: 1.5V also
Strange no? knowing that I already tried...
Hi 2Informaticos; team
No Backlight
Tested with another known good screen : same
Display works fine on an external TV through a thunderbolt hdmi adapter
LCD not detected
Backlight flashes once when hearing chime

Hi 2Informaticos; team
Those past days I have seen many MBA that before turning ON normally they have their fans cycling twice, rarely 3 times before starting.
Is it a SMC issue or more clock / SPI issue?
Regards
Not turning ON

Hi Team
I'd like to update a 820-00164 (mackbook air 7.1 early 2015) Efi chip to apfs without installing High Sierra or Mojave ( no SSD ).
Is one of you could provide me a dump of a bios already passed to HS or Mojave for that mother board it would be nice.
Of course I'll clean the ME region...
@JohnB8812, "All TBT stuff removed?"
As I've removed Q3080, now I have nothing going to the THBT level, so I guess I should be OK no?
You agree that it's NOT normal that Q3080 was passing (closed ) with pin 1 and 4 at the same voltage (8.61V)

I've forgot to say that I succeed reading the...
