Yep also why i shouldn’t be working on more macs then I have bootables at the same time. :)

Jesus on a stick holy mother of god... I am actually too embarassed to share this, but for the sake of helping clueless souls like myself i will share my being abso-fucking-lutely trolled by this Mac: There is a software-'feature' called 'mouse keys'... It was ticked under System-preferences...

below diodemode readings on U5701 (compared to another 3115 that just came in with working keyboard, and no differences . pin of U5701 voltage drop to ground 1 .510 2 .865 3 .860 4 .859 5 .858 6 .861 7 .861 8 .869...

Also, have checked all traces from J5713 to U5701 and all of them have continuity.

Have a headache-inducing 820-3115 that had no liquid damage, but the keyboard wasn't working properly (keys 7,8,9,u,i,o,j,k,l,m, comma, period, left and right arrow) not working. sometimes, when i press the m-key, the trackpad registers a click (whatever the cursor is pointing at, gets clicked...

how do you keep the stencil in place if not using a holder? do you tape the two together? have you got micro-hands? I am struggling a bit, have tried a couple of holders already, but still a pita...

never done this actually, wondering how you heat both sides, not simultaneously I guess?

use the provided cable would be my guess (shouldn't it come with a thunderbolt-3 cable? if it doesn't show up, the board is probably f*kd beyond recognition..

have you guys tried erasing the flashdrives in an external housing>putting them back and reinstalling OS (preferably elcapitan, since the new AFPS sucks balls) ? I have had funky issues like the ones described, after wiping externally and doing a reinstall (with drive in machine) everything was...

have any of you tried one of these? I guess this is to interconnect a dead and a working Mac+2016? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-923-01127-Apple-Flex-Cable-for-Data-Migration-MacBook-Pro-2016-2017/173272829504?hash=item2857dd8e40:g:PzEAAOSwqDha1N30 I am looking for the real deal, but can't find...

absolutely agree. This is coming from a repair shop that installs SSDs in 2011 iMacs without doing anything about the tempsensor-thing. instead they install fan control software that only works after logging in.. it's sad.. the last iMac I got in had the gpu replaced with an incompatible...

thanks for the quick reply. i seem to be getting the shitty repairs lately.. for completeness' sake, here are the measured rails: PP3V42_G3H 3.41V PPBUS_G3H 12.51V PPDCIN_G3H 18.43V PPVRTC_G3H 3.31V PPBUS_S5_HS_OTHER5V 12.51V PPBUS_S5_HS_OTHER3V3 12.51V PPBUS_S4_X239 0.0V (SPIKES a tiny...

Have a board in thats been dry-cleaned (see my post in the business forum), but there's no visible damage to the board: looks absolutely clean. Have all normal readings on rails below PP3V3_S4, but PP3v3_S4 is missing (0V). Cannot find any trace of corrosion anywhere. Has a green and then...

Thanks duke. Yeah i do get image, just no backlight. Shit, this is going to be a pain in the bumhole.. I did indeed do some digging at the C9020/C9796 area, but I can't seem to remove the short; it's only becoming more gross-looking. (L9080 is standing on the edge of a giant crater the size of...

Hi there, new to the whole board repair stuff, so please bear with me Got a 3115 with a huge hole by the LCD conn. pins 21 and 22 caps c9796 and c9020 were blown off. with U9701 removed (looked messed up) and both aforementioned caps removed, I have full continuity to ground from pin 5 of...

Atomrepair : was waiting for that bell to start ringing:) how's it going! dukefawks exactly the page I found I used to work for Amac (about 8 years ago now) and remember the bosses being gifted with a huge ignorance when it comes to technology, and being big Apple-fanboys; which is the exact...

thanks for the replies guys. These jokes remind me of a funny customer I had last week: she'd spilled fucking soy sauce on her Mac, then decided to put it in rice. When she came to me for pickup, she joked about this being embarrassing because she's Japanese. I then of course gave her a discount...

Hey I had never heard of this type of machines before, tekdry redux, techsave, all different smells coming from the same turd I guess.. Stupid thing is, the majority of customers probably wouldn't know shit about the real work involved in repairing from liquid spill. let alone the CEO of the...

This is my first post. I've gotten into this about 7 years ago, trying to expand my customer base in the past year. Been meaning to talk to larger repair shops, to get them to outsource their board repair to me. I've been trying to check out the competition in my area, when I ran onto this (a...
