New connector soldered: OK
unfortunatly I had a short to GND on the backlight rail when I've connected the LCD cable.
So I've put another full LCD assembly, no short to GND, in diode mode 0.585V
When I turned the MBA ON: Display + Backlight OK
Now I'll have to order a new flex lcd cable to...
It was just melted in front of pin 3 and 4 not all the connector sorry
Removed the connector:
Now it look likes to be OK, in diode mode I have 0.585V and the resistance to GND 4.8KOhms
Hi
I had this board as completly dead because of water damage, so I've fixed everything to the point i wanted to test that board in the chassis:
I had no backlight, so I checked the fuse which was dead then I replaced it ( what a BIG MISTAKE )
When I turned the board ON again, fume came out of...
Hi 2Informaticos,
I'm back with that board as I received the medusa2, I cleaned as you suggested me previously the ME Region without success.
I have 1.801V for PPVCC_S0_CPU is it not too hight for the CPU?
I just remind before soldering the SPI chip reverse the board was "fine" just needed...
Big thanks to you MacRepairAmb.
As I've tryed them all in the mean time, then I can complete the list:
26: Show Medusa internal ROM 2 and 3
27: Load Medusa Internal ROM
28: Show Medusa ROM 3 ME Version
29: Verify ROM 3 in Medusa
30: TEST POWER
above it's just ?????????
Question when it's...
thanks for replying, this is exactly what I did without knowing it......thanks
but the thing now it's 1:20 am in europe and no one will answer me .....maybe even not before monday......if they don't work tomorow.
I've checked some of their videos on Youtube but just got the info for read and...
I will check that, in the mean time i was working on connections from J3700 to U3710/11 and:
from pin 2 of 3711 to pin 51 of J3700 it 0.4 Ohms
from pin 4 of U3710 to pin 52 of J3700 it was 2 Ohms so I've put a direct trace now it's 0.4 Ohm....
Now i have to figure out why the PPVRTC_G3H is...
So I've reflashed it back with original dump and many other also but the board now is not turning ON at all.
CPU area getting hot but not burning
PPBUS_G3H: 8.58v
PP3V42_G3H : 3.381V
PPVRTC_G3H : 2.721 V
PP5V_S5 : 5.011V
PP5V_S4RS3: 0V
PP3V3_S5: 3.254VV
PP3V3_S4: 0V
PPVRTC_G3H line is directly...
Already tried after replacing U3470 and it's not seen in disk utility.
I tried to re program the bios but now it's not turning ON at all.
I'll have to re flash it back with its original dump that I backed up.
I've passed it into the UC and it's still the same state.
Regarding SSD_CLKREQ_CONN_L i've posted earlier that it was 0V sorry but in real it's 0.299V which is low state ( again sorry for not being accurate )
for SSD_CLKREQ_L this one is 1.897V which for me is too high for being considered as...
So I checked te trace and this one is OK,
With the ssd inserted the SSD_CLKREQ_CONN_L volage is 2.20 V but I tried that ssd in another mba 00165 and I also have a question mark which would mean that that ssd is also faulty.
I took a 100% working ssd and put it in that board the...
