Hi, I have a liquid damaged 820-01958 that is stuck at 5v with 0a
PPBUS_G3H:12.21v
PPDCIN_G3H: 5.16v
PP5V_G3S: 0v
PP5V_S5_LDO:0v
PP3V3_G3H: 0.949v
PP3V3_G3H_RTC: 3.269v
PP1V8_G3S: 0v
Any help would be really appreciated
Well thats weird.
I connected the battery and charger but not J6951, booted to MacOS and logged in.
I connected J6951 but it didn't see the battery
I left it all connected and hit restart, on once restarted, it sees the battery and is charging it.
PPBUS_G3H on F7000 very slowly creeped up to...
No, the MacBook came in with a non genuine battery but that seems to work.
No history of liquid etc. Just wouldn't power on one day apparently.
I disconnected the battery and tried with just the charger and it turned on as if nothing had happened. reconnected the battery and two others and it...
Yes I get 3.344v for 3v3_g3h on battery alone
Yes I forgot to mention I checked R7021/22 and they're both as 1.3 ohms
J6951 looks clean inside and around it
Thank you for the reply 2informaticos.
R6905 is reading 2.5 ohms while on the board
On a known good board, my multimeter shows 2.5 on that one also so I think my meter is just slightly out
Hello, I'm stuck as I have an A1708 which powers up fine on the charger alone but won't boot if the battery is connected.
I've tried a known good battery but still no change.
On USBC alone, F7000 is 13v
On Battery and USBC F7000 climbs from 11v to 12.96v and drops back in a cycle roughly every...
Yeah works on 2 ports with an 87w charger. Hadn't noticed the one I was testing with was a 61w version.
On one of the ports its fine with the USBC plug turned upside down but not the other orientation.
On another port, I get 5v only with the plug one way round and 0v the other way.
I've tried...
I have an 820-00928 that when plugged in jumps from 5v to 20v and pulls up to 1.8a but then reboots the charger back to 0.2a. The screen shows the battery and then goes off again when the charger drops back to 0.2a
Does this on all 4 ports.
I've checked U3100, U3200, UB300, UB400 and the main...
For U3100:
C3108 - PP3V3_UPC_XA_LDO is only 0.021v
C3104 - PP1V5_UPC_XA_LDO_CORE is only 0.019v
but for U3200, the same caps are around 0.453v
So U3100 is the problem?
Hello, I have an 820-01700 that won't power on. No signs of liquid. Just stopped charging.
With the board out, on 3 of the ports I get 5.12v 0.37-0.39a and the 4th port (left side front) I get 5.14v but only 0.13a.
With the 3 ports I get 12.2v constant on PPBUS but 0v on the low port.
If I...
Hi 2informaticos, Thank you for the quick reply. I just sorted it thankfully.
It tested as low ohms on PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT so I decided to inject 5v into that line and have a look on FLIR
The issue was with capacitor C8470 shorting.
Replaced and now works fine.
I was having an off day obviously...
I have an 820-00840 with no backlight. Tried multiple screens but no difference.
Took the board out and it seems that Q8400 is getting its 12.9v PPVIN on pin 4 but the hate voltage is also 12.9v on pin 3 so isn't opening.
I can't seem to figure out why pin 3 isn't dropping. The resistance...
Bluetooth Apple keyboard from an iMac works fine. Haven't tried a USB one.
I thought about replacing the trackpad also but this keyboard was "a new part" from a supplier rather than a specific machine.
I've installed Karabiner and that has got them working but its not the best solution long...
