So someone messed with the ISL probably because they were hoping for a easy one and not a dead SMC. Check if pins 10 and 11 of the isl are shorted. If so, it's going to be either the ISL, SMC or D6950 (May have got the number wrong, use brain to figure out which one I mean that pins 10 and 11 of...
No files available for this one that I know of. They cheat you into buying a older board view listed as a 00138. Use a 00163. What is the history? Voltage on CPU vcore?
History? Random powering off will suck. Could be corrosion under something or some corroded pad or resistor somewhere. History is going to be the most important thing here.
It's hanging on POST. Like Duke said, forget about this one. Even if you deactivate the GPU through the EFI thing, it's still going to fail in other ways. All the EFI thing does is change gfx acceleration to the the iGPU and not the GPU. The GPU still does tons of things such as BKL_PWM, LCD_EN...
Got a 00840 trolling me. Came in no liquid with a history of a dog biting it. First thing I checked was output on external. Nothing, Unplugged the screen and tried again. Nothing. This was with a genuine apple usb c to vga dongle. Checked CPU vcore... 0.94 volts. GPU vcore - 0v. Missing...
DDR power rails present? Case broken on a coil is nothing, BUT, it could have broke if it fell
Hmm... What else could have gotten cracked if it fell?
Ram solder balls...
DO NOT reflow them until you make sure you have all your DDR rails.
If it works of a charged battery 3v3_s4 and 5v_s3 is irrelevant. Why are you checking 3.3 and 5v rails when you don't have a green light?
Let's start from the beginning.. History? Why is this in your shop? Liquid? If so where?
Voltage on PPBUS_G3H?
SMC_BC_ACOK voltage?
Look at the...
P5v_RTS0_EN is present. Q7510 and 11 were both replaced at the same time as U7500. Don't see a issue with any of the traces around U7500 and I checked the signals from U7500 to the fets. All have continuity from the pins on the chip to the fets
Hey guys, this one is really throwing me for a loop --
Came in with history of customer ultrasonically cleaning it, also with the note of "Magsafe sparked when plugged in"
Went through the rails --
All rails present except PP5v_S0
PP3v3_S0 is present.
U7500 and Q7511/10 had some residue...
