Hi
No heat sync attached. I am using the standard nozzle that it came with, maybe that's too narrow? I can't think of any more variables!
I have tried with the board sitting on the desk on a heat mat, and up in the board holder.
Nothing else is connected to the board (heatsync etc).
Interesting set of symptoms
Laptop works OK but will shut down under load on Battery and Cable. Chrome is fine but not too many tabs open or away it goes!
Completely shuts off after battery reaches 60% - client replaced battery.
Hi
Client claims laptop was water damaged and he ordered a new board from overseas.
With this new board he has no backlight. I've tested a different screen on this computer there is also no backlight.

I assume I would start by checking backlight circuit...
Hi,
Do you have any advice on how to remove the SMC from the board.
I have the Hakko hot air gun FR 810B and flux (maybe not the same as you guys) but I can't get the chip to budge.
When people do it on youtube it literally seems to take 2 - 3 minutes max.
Is there a certain kind of flux...
HI
Sorry I am not sure I understand your question.
The device may be under Apple original warranty period but is now void due to water damage, or is there something here I do not understand?
Apple have told her to replace the entire logic board at her cost.
Cheers

Macbook comes in. Does boot, but green light on charger.
I disconnect battery, and try with just charger no luck.
I investigated the other side of the board and found corrosion on U7840 which I removed.
Success! Computer now boots with battery and charger connected. BUT the keyboard does not...

Hi,
Apologies I can't seem to find the board number. Client has liquid damage. She said was WAS turning on so she took to Apple for a checkup, they told her to replace entire unit and now the unit does not turn on at all. I have examined the board, there was a lot of water in the macbook but...
I have not moved yet but I unplugged the keyyboard and the cursor has stopped moving around like crazy but it's still sluggish. 2 - 3 second delay after moving my finger. I'll move the motherboard tomorrow to a new case / trackpad.
Thanks that download worked. I am running the tests now. The touch-pad is still going crazy even in ASD, I have replaced it. Could this be something else?
The behavior has now changed from not moving much / very slow. (Mac also runs slow) to randomly jumping around the screen.
It's up to...
HI,
I got very little anywhere.
I have replaced the DC in jack (820 - 2565) with a known good which seems to have helped a bit.
I was working my way through power rails and related circuits (as I guess / assume they're related) so apologies if some of these are out of order or unnecessary...

I have a Macbook Air with extremely slow mouse / non moving mouse.
In OS X it's a bit better with an external mouse but not brilliant. In Linux there is no issue with either.
We replaced the trackpad with no effect.

I mean D7012.
I was cleaning off the corrosion and it broke in half, so now it's definitely a problem. I will attempt to replace and post back.
