Hello everyone, i got a macbook air a1466 820-00165 that when you unplug the magsafe charger it automatically shuts off. I can see a charging logo at the top of the screen and a orange light at the magsafe. Anyone knows what can be causing this issue? during visual inspection i noticed a...
How can I verify the CPU is dead? I'm pretty sure U7310 was causing the problem. It would be nice to give it all I can. Thanks for the help and guidance
Cheers,
Thanks Duke & Louis for your advice. I was able to remove the short on PPVIN_S5_HS_COMPUTING_ISNS by removing the mosfets U7310. U7320, U7330. The only crappy part is that the computer still doesn't boot up. It just shows me a orange with spinning fans. . I guess my CPU is dead. Right? I...
The resistance to GND on L7320 is
1) CPU VR_PHASE2 1.4-6.4 Ohms
2) PPVCC_S0_CPU_PH2 1.4-6.2 Ohms
The resistance to GND on L7130 is
1)CHGR_PHASE 3.70-14.60 Ohms
2) PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG 4.7-10.9 Ohms
Also, the resistance to PPBUS from pin 1 of L7320 is 3 Ohms and on pin 2 is 3.6 Ohms.
Thanks!
Hey Duke, I decided to give this board another try. Hopefully I can get it working. The actual board number is 820-3662-A. As I stated previously, when you connect the charger to the computer without the battery I get a solid orange light but it never turns on. Atm, I have a short on...
Im happy to say that I was able to fix this macbook air with no backlight. I had to reinstall the correct LVDS connector and make a jumper from the bottom of the board to the top to fix the blown trace. This was a awesome repair. It taught me a lot of things. Thanks for all the help!!
Hello Everyone, I have a water damage macbook that came in with no power. When you connect the charger to the computer without the battery I get a solid orange light but it never turns on. During visual inspection, I was able to find a really corroded capacitor (C7202) near the U7200 (ISL95286)...
I never said i didn't know were to start LOOL I just wanted some clarification so I understand. To answer your question yes I read the sticky note. I just had a few questions. I didn't know the 2010 model connector wasn't compatible with this model. I thought they were all the same. Maybe thats...
Hello everyone, I'm working on a liquid damage macbook air 820-3437b. It got 3 pads (Pin2 NC, Pin3/4 PPHV_S0SW_LCDBKLT) missing on the lcd connector. I already ran a wire from pin 3&4 of the LVDS connector to pin 1 of c8317 but i still don't have a backlight. My output voltage at...
Thanks louis! I wasnt aware that you needed that flex cAble to show a green Light. Ill make sure to keep that in mind for the future. Ill go ahead and order a new one amd report back
Im aware that this is normal behavious for 2013 models (off-on-off-on-off-on) whats the purpose of this behaviour? Should it be showing the green light?
Hey Guys,
I have a macbook air that spins for 5 second and then shuts off everytime I connect the charger. It does this twice. In the third time it will boot normally. The weirdest part is that it doesnt show any light at the connector. At one point, this board was showing a strong greenlight...
Hello Guys, I have a macbook pro i7 that has some light water damage on it. When i connect the charger to the computer without the battery it shows me a orange light as if its charging. It doesnt boot. Im assuming there is a problem with the current sensing. During visual inspection I was able...
Yes I did Louis. It's value is 19.6Ohms (R7005). Here is a recap of my readings after replace ISL6259 (U7000) and R7005. My U700 came from a functional donor board. At the moment, my board (820-2936) has a solid green light with no power. Any idea what can be bringing my PPBUS_G3H? I check the...
