    Will that be safe even though the IC is underfilled?

    820-00928 Touch Bar not powering on

    Wasn't able to find any missing components, but everything keeps circling back to U3900. The only thing is that I do not have a stencil for this IC at the moment.

    820-2915 Charging slow

    Just installed a used battery and now getting 22 watts. Being that I had multiple batteries report a similar reading, I assumed the issue was with the board. But it turns out that the issue was all around a bad batch of New batteries. Thank you.

    820-2915 Charging slow

    I just tried 4 other batteries all from the same vendor and they were reporting different charging values from 6.2 watts to 9.8 watts. Being that the main parts of the board look perfectly fine leads me to believe I got a really bad batch of batteries.

    820-00165 Missing PM_SLP_S4_L

    ---SOLVED--- SMC failed, preventing PM_SLP_S4_L from being present. Replacing SMC resolved board issue. MacBook passes quality tests. Thanks for your guidance on this one.

    820-00165 Missing PM_SLP_S4_L

    Before I gave up on this board, I reballed the SMC. No luck. I then replaced the SMC with a donor board SMC and it now powers up to login screen. I'm testing it out to make sure everything works now.

    820-00165 Missing PM_SLP_S4_L

    I had my suspicions. PCH_DSWVRMEN reading 3.26v. I'm calling this one dead. As always, thank you for your help.

    820-00165 Missing PM_SLP_S4_L

    Okay. PM_SLP_S5_L = 0v to 0v PM_SLP_S4_L = 0v to 0v PM_SLP_S3_L = 0v to 0v Measured with both Multi meter and Oscilloscope. I do get a weird voltage of 0.04v on PP3v3_S3 and 0.002v on PP3v3_s4.

    820-3437 bad SMC or CPU?

    It took a while to revisit this board but I am back at it. I have not replaced the SMC yet. Using both orginal 85 watt magsafe 2 and DCPS with genuine 85 watt magsafe 2 connector attached. PM_PWRBTN_L drops from 3.4v to .04v when triggering SMC_ONOFF_L PM_RSMRST_L = 3.3v PM_SLP_SUS_L = 3.3v...
