Water damaged 820-2915 got everything working Backlight, Firewire, etc, Now I need Keyboard/trackpad.
At connector I have:
PP3v3_s4 = .745
PP3v42_G3H = 0.0
Is PSOC USB controller U5701 supplying PP3v42_G3H? Could SMC be a part of this to0?
Im going to reflow U5701 lightly and see what...
Hi gang,
Can you please post some of your sources for good batteries. Even trusted ebay will do. I want to get my customers the best because they pay for it and I don't want to short change them. Thx.
Oh so it's actually the GPU not the crappy solder like the 2011 GPU recall?. Ok got it. Funny thing. I went around the board and touched up a few caps and components that looked suspect. Now it boots and I've been running you tube and music on it for the day. Now I know that this could be...
Ok so second attempt at heating up GPU worked. I do not have the equipment for a Reball. I think I've heard many times that reflowing doesn't do squat to these big chips unless you have the proper equipment. I'll just put it back together and see. It's a practice board so not a big deal.
Hi, I see that the white screen boot loop is caused by GPU failure. This one was a water damage board but only on the USB port side. I know people say this issue is a rabbit hole and I should junk it. I've heated up the GPU with the JB for 2.5 minutes with 160 degree and still the same white...
Aww man I hope not. On another note I guess I really can't say anything to this client. Like hey your shit broke my computer now pay up... ha yeah right!
Can anyone give me some advise on this please!! so I was testing a clients credit card reader and as soon as I plugged it into my son's Macbook Pro it shutdown completely. No green light, no NOTHING! I found that the credit card reader that has a power supply (walwart) was delivering 10V into...
Well I have a client who took his mid 2015 MBP to the "genius" bar and they said nothing was wrong with it. After he brought it home he did a clean install and it would just keep rebooting. I booted it from a good OS and same issue. Then I did a PRAM and SMC reset and now it boots the the 3...

OH boy now I'm really screwed (hope not) I knocked off the PIN1 pad and I can't find a trace around it. I think it goes directly down in the middle! What can I do? PIN 1 Goes to C5 of U8450. Shit. Don't see how to jump to that. Am I screwed?
Hello, I'm working on a 820-3332-A. I see a torn pad on the ground pin of C8452. Can I just jump a wire to C8454's ground right next to it? Or do I need to find a separate ground not connected?
OH MAN I GET THE N00B AWARD OF THE MONTH!! I had no idea that you had to have the battery plugged in AND the trackpad for this stupid Air to work properly. I must have fixed this thing 10 times already and just thought I had it all wrong!! Why oh why oh why did I not know that. I kinda got...
Ok I see from this forum (which I should have looked at better) that this sensor is the trackpad. Now that the track pad is connected it passes. So any help with why it boots slow only with the HD? Works fine off the USB ASD. Both OS and EFI. I've also checked the HD and it boots fine on...
