Today using a donor board I replaced the following and now have these readings
R7121 = 10.0 Ohm
R7122 = 10.0 Ohm
R7151 = 2.2 Ohm
My god how fkin small are these things!
Same problem still here, will boot in SMC Bypass but just fan spin fan stop etc when powering on.
( Gutted TBH after...
Take my time is such good advice!,
Trying to juggle jobs in between the Mrs and a 4yr old running round the place wanting to put his toy cars under my scope!
Drink in hand and a lot more relaxed I find,,,
R7121 = .245 k
R7122 = 138.7 Ohm
R7151 = 8.8 Ohm
R71572 = 0.00
Change R71572 ?
(...
R7121/22 both seem fine at 16. 3v on both traces and upto u7100
R7151/52 both seem fine getting 8.56v
It still boots with smc bypass but it just does the on off fan spin without,
I'm kinda stuck now don't know what to check, before having this help from you I would try reflowing Smc. Is this wise?
45/60W Magsafe 2 charger? = Yes :)
PPBUS_G3H voltage = 8.57v
pins 17/18 = 33.6 ohm
pins 27/28 = .542k
SMC_DCIN_VSENSE = 2.73v
ISENSE _DCIN_ ISENSE = 30,0 mA - Jumps around the mA range a bit as the machine powers up the off,
Macbook looks very clean no signs of liquid damage, Im defiantly the first person to open this,
I presumed it was just a battery issue but tried it now with 3 known good batteries,
With a battery connected I get no boot no screen just fan spin up for a few seconds then stops then spins then...
Sorry about the pin board view mix up,
Looks like the j9500 connector maybe at fault here, is it easy enough to replace it with one from a donor board (I've never done this before)?
Or would it be easier to run a jumper from the same pin on dc in board to the same pin on the mlb?
Just watching this Paul Daniels vid on an audio problem with the a466
And the audio chip is on the dc in board,,
I can't find any schematic for this board, but as the right speaker isn't working with 2 different dc in boards and 2 different LIO flex cables im wondering if its LIO port problem...
Just tried popping the old LIO board in, sleep problem come streight back, but also no right speaker, so this must have been happening before and I never noticed as I wasn't looking for it. Anything common to look for with a right speaker not working?
Ive tried reset smc , pram,
Tried...
SO just pulled a LIO board ( DC power, sister board?) out of another a1466 Problem gone!
But only the left speaker is working :oops:
It's not software related,
Just tried the known good one from the donor machine, same deal no right speaker, could this be related to that LIO board?
Solid 3v on all SMC_LID locations , Left the multimeter on these spots for 5 mins at a time no drops at all
Tested lid sensor with magnet and voltage drops to almost 0 when magnet close then back to 3v when move magnet away,
Put it back together boot into OS and with 45 seconds ish, Screen...
Dude just about to check this but, should it be done with just logic on the bench or does it need to be done with evything in the mac connected and the screen on?
. :D Oh fuck dude this made me laugh! and it's the first time I have smiled today and it's my Birthday! (had a proper shit day! )
I just gave j9500 a good look over in the scope, noticed a little bit of crap inside the connector, give it all a proper clean and now it looks like new, changed...
I thought this would be an easy one, but alas!
Boots and runs great but it keeps going into what looks like sleep mode,
screen goes black and keyboard lights go off,, It instantly wakes fine the second you touch a key or the trackpad.
It seems to happen a lot but still randomly. and its bad...
Spoken to Harald, I have to wait until he is back from vacation ( 23rd) before I can put an order in so going to try removing bios chip and using my cheap programmer.
I've just tyred searching the board for a clean ME bios for this board but don't see one posted recently. Would you have a good...
Power cycling seems to have stopped or only happens after long periods of being turned on when testing voltages,
I'm currently in the process of ordering a Medusa ( And a pile of Tiresias (the GPUkiller) chips ) from Harald but he is currently on vacation until the 23rd of june
Without a...
CPU_VCCST_PWRGD = 1.047v
CPU_VR_READY = 1.052v
Page 11 , 59 & 60 all voltages present ( that took cooking ages! ) :D
SMC Bypass samer shit,
I can't see any reason this shouldn't power up and play, But fan spin and cpu getting warm is all we get.
