..........Never mind

I have now tried three SSDs, one 1TB HDD and 2 Apple HDDs... All this thing will see is Apple HDDs. Tried cloning an OS to SSD - HFS+ (or edit minstalconfig.xml to false under ConvertToAPFS) and fitting that... Tried an APFS SSD Tried initializing a fresh Samsung Evo SSD and booting to OS Tried...

Here in frot of me I have two Macbooks. MacBook A is a 2009 that will not run 10.13 MacBook B is a 2011 that will run 10.13 MacBook B had 10.13.3 installed and did the firmware update. I installed a new HDD into MacBook B (2011) and neither the firmware or the OS recognises the HDD. Fitted...

You mean the unpopulated board? Sure, lot's of stuff.

LOL, yes, you could well be on to something there :)

Yes but you know that long grain yeilds better results than short grain? Personally I keep a 10kg bag of basmati in my workshop at all times... Think I might get me one of these fabulous machines!!

Nope, no damage to the cable. It was jumping around with the old battery, so I changed it in hope it would resolve the issue. I know what you're thinking here, low voltage and over current from shit charger causing trackpad to jump about. Remove charger and all good.... It's not that either...

So an A1398.Put a different battery in there. Trackpad jumops around but if I brush my hand flat over it, it's fine for a while. Jumps again, brush hand, fine. I have ideas about static or whatever but this is based on absolutely nothing but childhood CRT TVs. Anyone know why this is happening?

Never mind, forgot to search without the -W-

Heat blasted to death .

Voltage either side of R7803?

Here, if you use this and type in USB in the search feild you will see that it will update what devices are attached to and removed from USB ports in real time, where as System Report does not.

I think what he means is the internal KB and T-PAD are on the USB hub.... Same as the camera and WiFi is on the USB. Look in System Report > USB and see what is listed there....

:confused: Yes. Thank you for your help and for reminding me I'm a dumbass!:)

:o.... Oh..... well this is embarrassing

Tried SMC_LID before posting. This is now my machine. This could take me a while so I'll go for the lottery repair approach and start throwing replacement parts at it until it works and THEN figure out what made the difference. This is not a highly cerebral approach, bet it works though. I'll...

Liquid or not, still beep out the data lines 6259 / SMC and probe for comms.... But yeah, you probably could have just slapped another SMC on there and had it working without posting the thread.

I'll slap another BIL in there tomorrow. I've not plugged it in. Just wanted to ask as it was the only thing I could see that might fuck things up since it was working fine up until I plugged the bloody cable in and fully assembled the Mac. Thanks for confirmation.

Hi. Had a working 2915, all good. Plugged in the BIL screwed it all back together, about to ship.... Stops working! The thing did not even know a battery should exist. Slapped a new SMC on it, all good. Just wondering what caused it to just die. No liquid by the way.

Or the I2C data / clock line is broken, or the battery is fucked. Personally I would bleep out the cock and data lines from 6259 to SMC and then slap a new 6259 on there and test with a good battery WAAAAY before looking at the SMC!!
