Hello, got this 3437 that has a 3 time fan spin but no display. When I do a pram reset display flashes and reboots normally. Backlight is turning on it has 24v but no image appearing. Any suggestions?
USB drive with OSX has a flashing LED. After connect power it just starts to spin high immediately, PRAM doesnt seem to do much. Since im missing the 2x fan spin before boot, I think its not starting so there wont be any video output anyway? I have 0v on LCDBKL and 0v on the 3.3v lines...
Hi guys, i got a Macbook Air 13 inch that came in dead no orange/green light. It was still in the box from another repair shop, and it looks like they replaced the SMC and resoldered or replaced the clock chip as well. We had no 5V, after replacing U7100 we got 5V. After resoldering U1900 we...
I just got one with the same issue. Note that the fan does not spin, only after a temperature treshhold is reached. Try change display cable, they always fail for this model. Did the trick for me just now. 50% of all display issues with 4924 are display cable. Easy to swap and test. Many people...
I tried with external drive as well, same issue. The machine is out of warranty. Unfortunately the customer took it so I will only be able to try without touchbar if he return. Touchbar was working though.
Hello, I have a client who has a touchbar 15 inch, the high end model with Radeon 560. This machine works fine, however when closing the lid in sleep mode, after 15 seconds when opening again, it shuts down and shows the message "unexpected shutdown". Reboots and then you can use it again. After...
Oh i got what you are saying, the integrated graphics is not working when dedicated is turned on, which it seems it is as it gets 0.9v, correct? So this here is not the issue i guess. I also tried to boot from external HDD and although the LED burns its not flickering as it usually does when it...
I do have USB activity, when the mac turns on it wont switch off. You can see attached image with voltage and amps + USB mouse attached. Also I attached a Flir image, CPU and GPU seem active although L7410/20 have 0 voltage, you can see they dont heat up. I was not able to upload images so here...
Some more measurements around CPU circuit:
PPBUS_HS_CPU = 12.59 not shorted
PP5V_S0 to U7410/20 = 5V no short
L7330 = 1.12v
L7211/21/31 = 1.09
L7410/L7420 = 0v
Yes when i connected the powercable without anything installed (so also no cooling plate) it ran upto 110 degree in 10 seconds. Now I reassembled it it keeps at 0.42 degree same as GPU, fan is spinning hapiilly, but no power to CPU. I did give it another ultrasonic before assembling, wouldnt be...
Update, after i assembled the mac, i connected the charger one last time (battery disconnected), and fan started to spin, however this time no shutdown and it kept running. I measured voltages around CPU, actually the GPU gets 0.9 volts. CPU GPU was hot but CPU cold while fan was spinning. I get...
Since U7650 did output 5V for a short time i think I can skip that circuit, also no shorts here. Maybe some short in a lower powerline stops it from turning on, will keep measuring my way down and report back if i find more
Here some more measurements:
PPBUS_G3H = 12.58
PP3V3_G3H = 3.418
PPDCIN_G3H_CHGR = 20.08
SMC_BC_ACOK = 3.417
SMC_RESET_L = 3.41
PP3V0_G3H = 3.09
PP3V3_S5 = 3.32
PP5V_S5 = 5.14
PP5V_S4 = 0v
PP3V3_SUS = 3.3v
PP3V3_S4 = 3.3v drops to 0 when Amps drop on meter
PP5S_S4 on U7600 comes up after it...
Yes, and I also tried with keyboard, display and external SSD connected to see if it can boot but same thing happens, turns on, hot CPU, 19v going up to 1.55A then 19v with 0A, CPU hot
Edit: the display being an external display connected via HDMI, as the original one is just black and I dont...
