Hello,
I have a motherboard 820-00165 where I have the keyboard and mouse that no longer work on Mac OS X.
What's odd though is that the keyboard works fine when booting, I can do an Alt + Cmd + P + R or a Cmd + D or Cmd + R without worries.
So I suddenly made several PRAM reset but nothing.
In...
If I understand correctly, I have to put the multimeter in diode mode, the red (+) on the mass, and with the black (-) I test each point of U7701?
I should have what value if good / bad solder on the multimeter?
I have tested all U7701 pins to earth, except the GND pins, no other is grounded, no resistance to the multimeter (infinite resistance).
I also took the opportunity to note all the tensions of U7701 with a monitor plug:
1: GND
2: GND
3: 2.5V
4: 2.81V
5: 8.54V
6: 8.55V
7: 8.55V
8: 0V
9: 0V
10...
Hello, yes the pin 2 is GND.
I tested the pins of U7701, no worries, I tested the continuity, see if there were no tracks cut, I did not test the continuity to the ground for all the pins.
I sold a new brand new chip bought on Farnell.
Still no backlight.
I still have 8.5V on XW7720.
When all assembled, the same, I have an image but no backlight.
I only have 8.5V in the backlight circuit.
I have nothing on XW7720, but I have 8.5V on D7701.
On R7715 I have 2.5V.
C7704, 2.80V.
I have continuity between A5 U7701 and D7701.
I also realized that I have nothing, 0V, on XW7720, but I have 8.5V on the components around.
I have rechanged U7701.
Q7706:
I have 8.5V on pin 4, so I get the power of F7700.
I have 8.3V on pin 3.
And I have nothing, 0V, on others.
Q7707:
I have 2.45V on 6 and 4 out of 5 I have 3.29V.
On 3 I have 5,12V, 2 I have 3.29V and on 1 (GND) I have 0V.
For BKL_EN and BKL_PWM I have 0V.
Sometimes I get to have a voltage...
Good evening,
I saw that it was actually a pad.
It is present on the motherboard, and it is not oxidized.
I tested with a functional motherboard and connected screen, I must have 25V at this place.
But on the motherboard with HS backlight, I have nothing in this place, and even the surrounding...
Yes, I saw the XW7720 on the diagram (thanks for that).
But on the motherboard, between the coil and the diode, I have nothing.
I saw after that I could test it differently by measuring on the capacitors, I would do that.
Motherboard : 820-00165-A.
Thanks for the reference of the components.
I just need it because they miss me for a motherboard.
I have a client who passes my 5 motherboards 820-00165, I have already repaired 3 (including one where I miss the Q7707).
One HS (the BCM15700A2 chip overheating and the motherboard that starts...
Good evening,
I need these 2 small IC (see photo) for a motherboard MacBook Air 13 "A1466 820-00165.
It's 2 small ICs (mosfets normally) are for backlighting.
I do not know where to order them.
I also have another 820-00165 that starts, but no backlight.
The 2 IC are OK, the chip on the back of...
