Pins 12 on U7410 = 0.08 volts, but when I check pin 12 on U7100 this shows 2.4 volts. I think U7410 is bad because when I remove it, both pins are 5 volts.
Yes, I checked with and without internal LCD connected. I used a known good type C -> HDMI adapter. We use a couple of these for other MacBooks - working good.
I found corrosion around C7416 and U7410 that deals with Phase 1 CPU VGT. The cap was a little burned on pin 1.
What is CPUGT_GL1...
I can confirm USB activity with USB mouse. I tested it alone on desk as well as all parts connected. I also hear the charger connection noise coming from the computer when plugging in the charging cable. The MacBook is pulling 1 - 1.5 amps from the charger which is a pretty good sign. However...
Ohh okay, so with J6100/700 disconnected, it goes to 0.9 volts for both sides. With it connected, the normal 1.8 volts. I wasn't really thinking when I measured with/without the connections.
SMC_LID is fine..
Anything to do with T2? What I don't understand is that customer heard a little...
There doesn't seem to be any USB activity. LED light normally blinks, but not in this case - just a solid light. No display on internal or external.
SMC_LEFT_LID is 0.9 volts and SMC_RIGHT_LID is 0.9 volts.
Hello guys,
I have a MacBook Air that came in for water damage that does not want to turn on. Customer said keyboard cover was on when water spilled. I opened it up and found almost no corrosion except on some caps.
C78B7, C78B6 traces of corrosion, almost nothing to be concerned for.
Pin 12...
Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina here where it does not turn after going to sleep for a long period of time. The only way to get it up and running again is if I disconnect the battery and reconnect with or without charger. The power button does work as I can turn it off forcefully or...
Thanks, it was the battery of the multimeter. PPBUS is fine @ 12.6 volts. I found out that U8020 was giving random voltages between 2 and 3 volts because it was chipped. Replacing the chip did the trick.
Hello,
I have a 820-3476 that does not turn on (sometimes). If it turns on, it would be totally fine, but if I leave it or if I press force shut down it would be unable to boot up again unless I unplug battery, unplug charger and connect again. Even then it would be intermittent.
PPBUS_G3H =...
I was putting this aside for a while. I'll give the USB drive with LED a try.
One question: can failed hall sensor cause no output to external display? The customer mentioned the screen was flickering before it went black forever.
Yes, red probe on ground.
I checked external display and it doesn't output anything here either. As soon as I plug in the charger, the monitor LED indicates a device is connected through HDMI however just a black screen. Chimes and everything still.
I also notice that for the internal display...
Okay,
With LCD (pulse lasts a split second)
R8318 & R8317 OL (or super high resistance) 0.13v to 0v pulse
R8380 & R8370 OL 1v to 0v pulse
R8361 - 0.5 diode - 3v to 0v pulse
R8362 - 0.5 diode - 3v to 0v pulse
R8360 - 0.55 - 3v -> 0 pulse
Without LCD (pulse lasts 2-3 seconds as compared to with...
