This board had some pretty bad liquid damage and partial short on PP3V8_AON. Almost every component on the board had some level of corrosion on it. The worst areas were around the ISL9240, the 3v8_AON MOSFETs and the speaker amps. I had to replace the ISL and almost all the caps and resistors...
I checked diode mode values on all of the pads for U9300 with a donor board and it seems I have a broken trace on pin 19 of U9300, S3X_PFN. That pad is .456 on a donor board, but OL on this board, so it not connected to U8600. That was the only issue I found. Would that signal cause U9300 to not...
Now I started to get intermittent voltages on the SSD power rails. I removed U9300 and found some dirt/corrosion under it. I replaced it twice with chips from donor boards, and both times I get 0v on all the SSD rails now. It appears U9300 is being enabled, but not sure what could be the issue...
Those values were with the SSD not working. I went to check them without the battery and all of a sudden the board was stuck at 5v again. Found UB300 died, so I had to replace that to get 20v back. After replacing UB300, the board turns on again, but now I get flashing folder all the time, with...
If I try and start from USB MacOS with battery, it gives me the critical software update error, since the SSD is not detected. If I boot in safe mode, it will boot to the OS and the internal SSD is not shown in disk utility at all.
Without Battery: PPBUS is 13.04v and the computer turns on and boots to the OS every time. I tested it, and it appears to be fully functional without the battery. When I run diagnostic, the only error is that the battery was not detected.
With Battery: PPBUS is 11.19v and I get a flashing...
I got a 820-00923 that originally did not turn on at all. PP3V3_G3H was shorted to ground and I found corrosion on CB300. I removed CB300 and the short was gone. Replaced CB300 and now diode mode was around .360 on pp3v3_g3h and it turned on. I originally tested it without the battery and it...
I got another TLV70733PDQN and replaced UT390. Now I got 3.3v on PP3V3_S2_IPD, but the keyboard and trackpad still did not work. The trackpad does not even click, so it seemed like its not getting power at all. I checked all the traces and they seemed fine, so I suspected the trackpad was bad...
U2800 could also cause the this board to be stuck at 5v. I had one with the same issue as you, and did not get 20v until I replaced U2800_X and U2800_T.
Yea its still 0v without the trackpad connected. I do not have anymore TLV70733PDQN chips to replace UT390 with. Can I use another chip, like the NCP160AMX180 from older boards?
I have a 2021 16" 820-02100 board that is liquid damaged. It only had some light corrosion around UD102 area and pin 32 on the keyboard connector, which was for PP3V3_AON_KBD_CONN. I cleaned the corrosion and replaced some resistors and caps. The mac turns on and makes the chime nosie and I can...
I tried another trackpad from an A1708 because I was not sure if the trackpad I was testing with was actually good or not. With the A1708 trackpad, it works in the boot menu, but then does not work in the OS or recovery mode.
I got a 820-01598 that was liquid damaged around the trackpad connector and did not turn on. Trackpad connector was burned on PPVIN_S4_TPAD_FUSE. I cleaned the area and replaced the trackpad connector with a new one. All diode mode readings on the trackpad connector seemed to match a good board...
This is solved now. See below for what I did to fix it. Hopefully it helps someone else.
I tried multiple different CD3217's from multiple different donor boards, and none of them seemed to work. I was always getting 5v 0.27a on all 4 ports using just the charger, but it turns on using...
