Checking pin voltages for U7100 and suddenly charger light goes off. Now no green or amber light. Changed u7100 but still no green light. Seems i screwed up but i am sure there was no short while checking. Should i give up on this one or is there hope?
Yes. board turns on with both charger and battery connected and after connecting to 85w charger, turns on without battery. USB activity - just the red light on. no blinking. Fan spins but no display.
Macbook Pro A1398 - 820-3332A. Fan spins continuously on battery but no chime and no display. No fan spin without battery, Yellow light on Magsafe Adapter. Checked all voltage rails and results as below.
PPBUS_G3H = 12.6v
PPVIN_S5_HS_COMPUTING_ISNS = 12.6v
PPVIN_S5_HS_GPU_ISNS = 12.6v...
Powered on but no fan spin and PPBUS_G3H missing. Changed Q7130 and still missing. So i decided to check all voltages again and 3V3_SUS also missing.
PPBUS_G3H - 120 mv
3V3_S5 – 3.3 v
3V3_SUS – 1.6 mv
PM_BATLOW_L – 586 mv
PM_DSW_PWRGD – 3.4v
PCH_DSWVRMEN – 3.1v
PM_RSMRST_L – 2.3 mv
PM_PWRBTN_L...
Yes i did check Q7130 shorted to ground and it was not. R7120 no beep with L7130. I am a rookie at macboard repairing and wanted to be sure before i power it. So can i safely power it now.
Replaced Q7130 and I got 3.9v on F7140 and no fan spin. Second time i switched on i get a fan spin. I installed the heat sink and powered up again. Fan spin and C7370 just blew up. Any checks before i replace it and switch on.
Got it booting and running but now stuck at no backlight. Confirmed dim apple logo and password screen is also visible but dark and no backlight. Liquid damage and minor corrosion seen around U7701. Cleaned it but no luck. 8.57v on fuse and on backlight output.
Measure the VIN voltage through...
Sorry. I just sorted it. It seems the SSD has a problem. It works fine without SSD so i replaced it and it booted up and works fine. Thank u. By the way i am am new at this and would love to learn how to use SMC bypass mode.
Need help with one more board. 820-00165 with slight liquid damage around U8005 and U7701. Machine gives a chime and shuts off immediately. In fact it’s just half a chime and it shuts off. After cleaning liquid damage, I get a fan spin but it shuts down after few minutes. PP5V_S4RS3 is at 5.11v...
