Hi guys I had a mac that kept rebooting and no backlight. Corrosion SMC_Reset_L circuit and backlight circuit. Changed all and backlight works. However, the backlight only turns on if the Mac is about 50% pass booting. If i use Option command the backlight is off, when using Command + R its off...
Hello, we got an 820-3662 with liquid damage that came in dead. Some line at the CPU power IC was burned we replaced and now it works again but with a slow mouse and high fanspin. Apple ASD gives 2 errors.

- Ts0P Palmrest
So far we have replaced a new trackpad...
Came in with liquid in display connector and 8.19v no light on charger. Reflowed the SMC chip and replaed the display connector, now I get 8.59 and fan spins, stops, spins again and keeps spinning (not 3 x though). I do have CPU clock. Can this be related to U6100/traces, or is that only an...
We resoldered the joints from J6600 there appeared to be some cracks. Somehow this also fixed the purple colour of HDMI as that worked also after we did this :). Happy customer!
Hi guys, I have an 820-3738 that someone else tried to ?fix? before. No light on charger and no PPBUS. I found D7105 missing and after I put it back I get following measurements:

PPBUS_G3H = 12.27
PPVRTC_G3H = 3.3v
SMC_RESET_L = 3.3v
Still no light on the charger, so I...

I figured out it has to do with the OSX Mojave. Our own laptop also boots with backlight dimmed, can see the logo but no backlight, once its half way boot process it turns on and finishes boot. The issues with backlight after login in are fixed, so this one is closed :). Thanks again!
OK so I put our own dispay back in our own machine, all works fine. One thing we noticed. When we use the clients display in our Mac, it is working, however when we attach a USB device the backlight does not turn on while booting. Backlight fixes are usually my favourite repair, but this one has...
Ok here we go:
- Replaced the display connector
- Orignal 60W charger
- 49v on LCDBKLT
- Known good display
Never seen this before. Is there anything else beside LCDBKLT thats needed to turn on the backlight?
I can only image this board destroyed my good display....... so I will put that back...
I can see apple logo with a flashlight. At the same time I have 49v on the pin of the LCD connector.

Happy Easter fellows!

problem solved, i just had a customer coming in with the same issue. His harddrive was fried, some black IC, shorting the 3.3v line i guess. Removed the drive and worked. I took the drive out of this one, works as well :)! So 2 macs fixed :)
