Hi, 820-00687-A died when closing bottom cover after successful repair (hall sensor on keyboard).
First it had 20v 0a only on one side of usb-c. After replacing U3100 (from ssd dead board CD3215C00 same markings) got 20v 0a on both sides of the cable.
Power rails:
8.69v PPBUS_G3H
20.06v...
820-3437-B clean board, no liquid trace visible.
Boots from charger or charged battery but does "not charging" (charging icon in MacOS says), takes 7-12A from charger with battery connected (or not - same). Magsafe - red led. Tested with 3 different batteries which are working on other board...
R3014 and R3015 lines are not shorted after remove.
Redriver has no visible signs (inspected under 45x microscope) of burn or damage.
Is there a way to test redriver or should I remove it and then check the shorted lines or just replace?
After removing R3014 =USB_UPC_XB_P is not shorted to ground.
but it still has short on these lines:
at L3200 USB_UPC_PCH_XB_N and USB_UPC_PCH_XB_P
at L3000 USB_UPC_PCH_XA_N and USB_UPC_PCH_XA_P
PI3USB32 seems clean not damaged. But did not find in forum how to inspect that chip.
What should I...
5V 0A on first USB-C connector
5V 0,29A on second
Removed U3200, cleaned the mess, made sure leaded pads not shorted.
we have short on cpu lines:
L3200 USB_UPC_PCH_XB_N and USB_UPC_PCH_XB_P - shorted to ground
L3000 USB_UPC_PCH_XA_N and USB_UPC_PCH_XA_P - shorted to ground
Is it worth...
Hello,
History: dead while watching a movie on a plane without charger.

Thanks JohnB8812! I checked the screens I was testing and all of then were 2013/14. Even customer's screen on 2015 macbook pro was from 2013/14. That was tricky. Got another macbook pro 2015 and that screen worled just fine.
Is there any solutions to make 2013/14 screen to make working on 2015...
Usually I get 38/39V at pin1 of J8300 lcd connector with working backlight on other macbooks LP8548 driver series. I?ve already replaced the lcd connector. Maybe it?s something small I?m missing:(
820-4924 No Backlight (in very rare cases it's present like 1 time of 20)
PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT - 48V (on pin1 of J8300)
BKLT_SCL - 5V
BKLT_SDA - 5V
Tested with 3 displays.
replaced LVDS connector.
replaced U7700.
tested resistors on BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA - good.
I'll appriacate any solutions to...
I was able to increase the voltage on PP3V3_G3H only to 2.955V by replacing R6910 to 200kohm resistor. If it resist more, very low voltage is generated and macbook doesn't start from charger.
Did I mention that computer turns itself off only after connecting J6951 flex cable. It's working with...
I've found PPBUS_PMIC 0,01V, R7835 high resistance and C7844, C7843 shorted to ground. Replaced all three components and the system started!
2informaticos Many thanks for your help and patience! You've made a great job!
I get 0Ohm to ground of PPBUS_G3H only right after disconnecting the power. If the board is left disconnected for a period of time it shows ~4kOhm.
See photos attached.
