Hello,
I have a MacBook that is stuck on the question mark folder.
With the motherboard fully out and charger plugged in:
20 volts on charger, 0.43 amps
PPBUS_G3H = 13.10 volts
PP3V3_S5_SSD = 3.3 volts
PP0V9_SSD = 0 volts
PPVIN_2V7_NAND = 13.10 volts
PP1V2_SSD_HOT = 0 volts
PP1V8_SSD_HOT = 0...
Hello,
I have a MacBook Air that does not want to boot. Here are some of the voltages I have been looking at:
20 volts at the charger and cycling between 0.00 - 0.04 amps.
PPBUS_G3H = 12.6
PP3V3_G3H = 3.3 volts
PP3V3_G3H_RTC = 3.3 volts
PP5V_G3S = 0 volts
PP1V8_G3S = 0 volts
PP1V8_SLPS2R =...
Hello,
I have a MacBook Air here stuck at 5v at the charger 0.04 amps.
I am not getting PPDCIN_G3H at the source of Q3100. UPC_XA_GATE2 shows 5v, but UPC_XA_GATE1 is 0v.
PP3V3_G3H_RTC = 0 v
Is it just bad CD3215's or could it be something else thats causing PPDCIN to be gated?
Oops, yes. Water damage through the type C ports. It damaged the CD3215's which I replaced afterwards - charging fine. There was also a short on the primary type C port. I had to cut it off physically to fix it because it was pretty bad. I am waiting on a new type C replacement part to arrive...
Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro with CD3215 properly switching to 20v. However, I am unable to use any kind of USB device such as mouse or USB drive using Type C to USB adaptor (tested working on other machine). I replaced both CD3215's already and same issue.
Okay, so I did more tests and then found that WS_KBDx signals + pin 2 / 9 of the TP connector (Z2_CLKIN & Z2_SCLK) were fluctuating regardless of whether or not TP is connected. I was convinced that maybe something was in the TP connector (because why all of a sudden is it acting like this after...
The power rails for the keyboard is steady.
Here's something odd I found. When I disconnect the trackpad flex cable, the WS_KBDx signals are steady and the keyboard is very responsive. As soon as I reconnect the trackpad + flex cable, it jumps up and down. When I leave the trackpad flex...
Okay, so I replaced U5701 (twice) and exact same result. WS_KBD fluctuating but it seems to be better? 1.5 - 3 volts Maybe a coincidence. I then replaced U2700 and still not working.
Z2_SCLK / Z2_CLKIN fluctuating 0.5 -1.5 volts.
Seems like there is only so many places to look, but I can't...
Okay, I will replace U5701. Must I get it from the same board number? Are there any other boards I can take it off of?
I noticed 820-3115 and 820-2936 have same
CY8C24794
337S2983
MLF
SYM_VER2
Does this mean they have similar firmware?
Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro with non-functioning trackpad and keyboard. Tested new keyboard / trackpad and still not working. The keyboard (new and old) will only work if I hold the key a little bit.
I checked WS_KBD and all of them are fluctuating a lot between 0.5 to 3 volts. Never...
I compared screen assembly readings and here are my findings. I noticed pin 33 varies a lot on the bad assembly - MIPI_DATA_CONN_P, but other than that everything else seem to check out. I don't think this pin has anything to do with backlight, so it might just be done for.
Luckily I had another display to test, it definitely is the LCD assembly. However, I am unsure if the customer will be willing to bring to Apple for the backlight service program. He took it there initially and now it is obvious that it was worked on.
Anyone have any success in repairing the...
Hello guys!
I have a MacBook Pro 820-00875 with backlight issue. Customer brought it in because it would not turn on after it went black randomly while browsing.
Plugged in charger and it was giving 20v @ 0 amps. I found a short on PPBUS_G3H. Fixed it by replacing U7430. No more short...
