No display. Checked with light through the back; display is not blocking light, and no folder icon or other details showing. Light liquid damage across multiple locations on the board USB boot stick flashes, several times over the course of a couple of minutes. No 3V3 to the LCD, 0V for...

Technically it exists, I use it on my MBP, I just haven't yet finished the installer, but I'm >this< close. You can already use the Windows one and migrate to the macOS version later with no troubles.

Hope it goes well. Let me know if there's any strife.

For those who've been under a rock for the last couple of weeks and ignoring Louis' videos, FlexBV is now out (commercial OBV) which has the PDF integration along with some general cleanups/improvements. http://pldaniels.com/flexbv Software support for FlexBV is also now available at...

Other than being lucky enough to get some wrecked chassis units locally, you're going to have to just stock up when you can. At least you can usually transplant parts across multiple boards if you have the boardview/schematic handy and find the same values.

First reaction is "NO", especially the hourly rate thing. That seems more like a contract for someone they're trying to use as an employee without the extra overheads. They will contest you over charges and they will most likely make your life hell when you post something like a "This board...

I did. A couple of them.

No problem. Only thought I'd ask out of an abundance of caution.

Genuine magsafe 2 brick?

Significant feature additions coming to OBV very soon.

CPU and GPU power lines are low resistance. It is likely not a short.

I'm speculating here.. until a pro turns up. Is Q7155 damaged? Check to see if it's blocking properly between Drain & source, or if there's any conduction between gate and D/S ( Likewise check R7150 - 51 - 52, maybe U7100 was damaged, though I'm not familiar enough with how macOS derives its...

Also check clock / ROM area ( U6100, Y1905, U1900 ), very common for 3437/00165 to suffer issues there due to liquid ingress (or even just literal bugs), especially if it got as far in on the board as C7500.

Interesting comment to make, and goodness knows I feel the same way multiple times every day, I even forget what I did to customer machines from the morning by the afternoon. I don't think it's bad memory per`se, rather it's just a case of it's utterly infeasible for "standard humans" to retain...

With all my repairs, I tend to run the microscope and bench camera via OBS to capture everything I do, for internal purposes. Does anyone bother to note down each and every part they replace as they do it, or do they find ( as I do ) that it's a bit too disruptive to the process of fault...

What's diode mode for PPVIN_G3H_P3V42G3H ? If it looks like a short, could be C6990 or U6990. Did you replace D6905 with the same diode from a donor? If it doesn't look like a short on that net, then I'd consider replacing U6990? Are you testing without the battery (I assume) ? EDIT: If you...

Good morning, fresher brain now than 2am. I went back to where I read that information ( typing in iSight into the search on the macOS ); and this is explicitly what is said: "A digital camera from Apple that was built into some models of Mac computers. Replaced by FaceTime and FaceTime HD...

Does this recent video by Louis help? https://youtu.be/608unuqLWj8

Oh sorry, I think inadvertedly imparted the idea that it wasn't working and that HS might make it work. Rather what I was saying is that iSight doesn't appear to be -present- in the Yosemite 10.10.5 setup that I can see (I tried using 'finder'), and that I was saying that perhaps iSight might be...

This is running Yosemite 10.10.5 currently; though for the purpose of testing I'm now updating it to High Sierra. No "iSight" on this model, but maybe there will be with the HighSierra version? Facetime did work though.
