I actually have 3 of these machine. Early 2013 15" Retinas with the same issue. On #2 though, when screen goes black, The GPU VCORE goes to 0V so I am assuming U8900 may have broken solders.
I have on the bench an 820-3332, so it is an Early 2013 15". the first time I saw it on my bench the screen would randomly flicker and the laptop would crash. I resoldered U8900 and it seemed to fix it, but a week later it is back on my bench. According to the customer, after it is running for...
Just to reiterate:
PP3V3_SUS is currently at 1.1V. This signal is created by U8200 via pin 3. U8200 is supplied by PP3V3_S5 on pin 2 which is supplied from U7650, which it has 3.3V. U8200 is told to turn on by the power rail PM_SLP_SUS_L which comes from pin 238 of U1100, which by no...
Yeah, I think so. DO you know of anyone that has reballed one of these boards by hand? I do not have a BGA reball machine. I do have the stencil for this chip though.
So I have an 820-00281 that is at 20V. 30mA and has all the G3H rails up to PP3V0_G3H, which is at .01V and appears to have a 1.0 Ohm short to GND. Sadly thee liquid that I found was to the right of U1100. After looking at this rail rail. I see there only a few components and then U1100 and...
I have PP3V3_S5, Steady. No history, the owner said it just stopped working. No liquid, no dorps damage. I am trying to see if they tried to update OS.
Hi, so on the bench I have an 820-01598 that is not powering on. I have 20V @ 40mA on my USB-C ammeter and PPBUS_G3H is 12.62V and PP3V3_G3H is present at 3.3V. I know since i have 20V at the charger the USB-C controllers are ok, and I have my G3H rails, I don't think my ISL is bad that probably...
I did. It is fixed. There was a broken via right above Q7810 (3V3S5_VFB_R7270). Ran a wire from R7270 into a via to L7220 and now have a working machine. Holy smokes this was a tough board. But it is back in the chassis and running Sierra like a champ.
So I found something out, When I put my red multimeter probe on Pin 9 of U6990 and hook up charger, I get a pulse of PP3V42_G3H rail. SO that tells me the chip is trying to put 3.42V out but something is stopping it.
