I have backlight!
First tried with the jumper method and worked, then resoldered R7704 and now working perfectly.
Pads underneath was perfect by looking at it, but scraping it showed a layer of oxidation.
Thanks a lot guys!
Continuity from U7701 A5 ball and pin2 of D7701 fine!
Sorry, i was really tired after a lot of non-stop work!
Here are the voltages:
3 BKL_EN 2.8v
4 BKL_PWM 0v
(voltages taken with magsafe, lcd connected)
thanks!
U7701:
12 - BKL_FLTR 9.8k
3 - BKL_EN 75k
8 - BKL_ISET 16k
4 - BKL_PWM .47
19 - BKL_SDA 10.5k
9 - BKL_FSET .19
Yeah, after changing U7701 and surrounding components blacklight is always off now.
You mean pin5 of U7701? If yes, under scope is perfectly soldered,
and had no corrosion on pads when...
Found slight water damage under U7701...so i've changed:
U7701
R7715
R7731
R7714
R7704
C7704
R7716
C7711
Nothing changed, no backlight!...what can i check now?
Hi!
i have this 820-00165 board that has no water damage, but suddenly the backlight started flickering.
I?ve repaired a lot of not working backlights on these machine but never seen before a flickering one.
Where do you suggest to start?
thanks! :)
Hi! :)
I have a 820-4924 board with water damage, mainly on the display connector (already replaced that).
Board seems dead, what you suggest start checking?
Thanks!
Hi! :)
I have this 820-2530-A that works perfectly but only with adapter.
Tried with 2 known good batteries.
Battery is correctly recognised by the system and apps like coconut.
Inspected the board and is very clean, no water damage at all and i can't see anything burned.
Where you suggest to...
Hi!
I know...this is an old board, but customer wants it fixed anyway.
No water damage, i have no backlight and no video with flashlight behind the apple.
Where you suggest to start?
Sure!
It starts with perfect image, and then after 2/3 seconds:
and then it gets worse:
Then if i connect hdmi external display i can use both normally.
I managed to install osx without problems, but day later started acting weird.
