    820-00281 CD3215 madness

    No H2O on this board. When testing the usb power would cycle on / off I discovered one of the CD3215's was toast as a small hole was blown in it and it showed up quickly on thermal. Replaced it and it stopped the bounce but PP3v42 was a little low and the CD3215's were not talking to the...

    820-3435 (CPU clock multipliers / jumpers)

    DO these things exist? I have already found the ones for RAM. I have successfully changed the memory on a 4G board to 8G but I had to move a few resistors around before the board would see it. Where are the resistors that set the clock frequency.

    820-00164a quarter fan spin

    usually PCH issues are pretty black and white. it's shorted it's usually really shorted. I use a water pick to spray soapy water under the BGA chips then clean with compressed air. I am not sure I would give up that easy on that board unless it's a 4g board or something of little value.

    MacBook Pro 15" A1707 (Screen water damage) eBay bait and switch.

    I purchased a used A1707 on eBay and am the victim of a bait and switch. The machine was listed as dead no power. I fixed the logic board 'which had no water damage" only to discover someone had also changed out the screen. They put a water damaged screen on it. So now I have a perfect machine...

    Programing Bios. I want to share my experience. LBE vs Medusa!

    My Medusa 3 broke. He sent me a new one. It started getting a error. The replacement works better than my original did so there must of been something wrong with it. I believe you need both. A regular programmer and a Medusa. Once in a while the Medusa would mess up a serial reprogram or...
