Yes just the board alone on the desk with charger connected.

SMBUS_SMC_G3_SCL and SMBUS_SMC_G3_SDA are both 3.3v and fluctuates down to about 2.6v every couple of seconds. Both measure 0.441 in diode mode, which matches another board I have that gets 20v. PPBUS is like 5mv with or without the battery connected and PP3V3_G3H is 3.4v with the battery and...

There was only some minor corrosion around U3100, U9391/93 and C7608. I removed F7000/1 and I get about 75mv on c7050. C7020/23 are both 3.3 ohms. I also replaced U7000 just in case, but no change. R/C/Q7030/40 seem to all be ok. All 4 ports still takes 5v and amps cycle between 40-60ma. One...

Hello. I am usually pretty good at fixing 5v issues on touchbar machines, but this one has got me stumped. This board had very minor liquid damage in some small areas around the board. It takes steady 5v on all 4 ports and the amp draw fluctuates between 40-60ma. U3100 has some minor corrosion...

Make sure you are using a 96w charger. The 87w charger is not powerful enough for the board to turn on.

Take a look at this https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/persistent-nvme-kernel-panics-on-macbook-pro-13-2017.2251610/ I found this while looking into the error. The kernel panic I posted earlier was also one that I got, but that is not the same kernel panic which stated the nvme error, and I...

Update on this one. I tested it for a few days and found the issue seems to be with the SSD and not with the computer overheating. Every time it would kernel panic, the report would say the same thing, nvme: "Fatal error occurred". I downloaded the program Disk Speed Test and tried to run a...

I have tried a good BIOS with Clean ME but its still the same. I cannot install the OS with the battery connected. It just reboots and restarts the install. The computer will run from my external SSD and everything seems fine, but it does randomly still reboot or kernel panic only when the...

The two temps that are at 128 Celsius are normal for this board model. The fans do start to spin faster after 2 or 3 minutes, but it never gets up to full speed or even above 3000 rpm. I don't think the issue is with the cooling system, but there is definitely some issue with the battery...

Yes I did a PRAM reset but it did not help. I have also tried another internal SSD and booted from and external drive and it still does the same thing.

I got an 820-00875 that is not liquid damaged but it overheats and shuts down randomly. I can boot the computer into the OS and it will works ok as long as I don't do anything that uses a lot of CPU power. Once the CPU gets up to like 30% or more, the CPU temps start going up and the computer...

It definitely is corrupting the BIOS somehow during the installation. I tried installing Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur on it, and it corrupts the BIOS every time and I have to re flash it. I was able to do a fresh install of High Sierra though without it corrupting the BIOS. I can clone Big Sur...

I am not really concerned with the touch ID issue at this point, but I found a new issue. I went to install Big sur via Recovery mode (Option + Command + R) and it will load for about 5 minutes and then it displays error -5101. I cannot get into recovery mode at all. I then booted into a Big sur...

Yep that was it. I checked and SMC_LID and SMC_LID_RIGHT were 3.4v, but SMC_LID_LEFT was 0v. I checked J5250 and found some corrosion there, that I did not see before. I replaced the hall sensor and SMC_LID_LEFT is now 3.4v also, and all the other issues seems to be fixed now. The power button...

Yes I have tried with 3 different batteries and 3 LCD assemblies and it does the same thing with all of them. I tried to start it in SMC bypass mode by holding down the power button and then connecting the charger, and it actually turns on with both the screen and battery connected, but its not...

I tried that but same thing still. It makes the dong sound and the screen backlight turns on for a second and then turns off, and then board gets stuck in S5 state.

Yes I can boot to the OS with everything connected except the internal screen. Battery charges and works fine also. It works fine using external monitor and diagnostic only reports an issue with the display, since its not connected. I can boot with the internal screen connected, but only if the...

I was going to replace Q7065 but decided to test the board with another battery that I had out of the topcase. So I just had the board on the desk with the battery and charger connected, and a USB drive to check for USB activity and the board works fine in this case. I figured out it only does...

Power button does not work at all, no matter what power source I have connected. C7020/23 are both 2.9Ohms PP3V3_G3H is 3.39v and PPBUS is 11.46v with battery alone. PPBUS is 13.03v with just charger connected. I will try and change Q7065 and report back.

Hello. I got an 820-00239 that was heavily liquid damaged on the U32/3100 side of the board. The board would turn on to flashing folder icon still even with this damage. I had to replace J3300, J4402, J6200 and Q3100 due to corrosion. The board now boots fine on all 4 ports and the touch bar is...
