these readings from usb-c connected charger. (140w)
7V without battery connected. just charger.
diode mode readings -> without nothing connected. just the board.
okay, i think its like bad soldering.
put another new one on it. on the good side its booting up now, got an apple and login screen.
on the bad side same behaviour...
i thought every cd3217 should be good to boot up?
okay, whats going on here...
put another chip on it. on this chip the amp meter shuts off and on in a loop. on the same side the cd3217 gives me 5v 0.26a
on the other side i get on both chips 20.4v - jumping to 0.3a and then to 0.02a...whats happening here?
Hey guys,
history:
3 ports were showing 5V/0.45A
1 port was dead / burn mark on chip / nothing on amp-meter
changed the chip. now the 3 working ports showing 5V/0.25 -> dead port showing now 5V/0A
ppbus_g3h / 3v3 are there, when i connect to the working ports. strange voltages when i connect...
Hey guys,
the lid angle sensor is corroded. Disconnected the sensor - everything´s starting up and fine.
Is there a fix without Apple? Can i move the chip (when its alive) to a new cable and everything´s works fine? Or it needs to be calibrated by Apple´s Software?
This awesome rocket-science...
Hey guys,
got a strange mac here.
Every time i try to install a fresh OSX, it keeps me saying one update is needed. TOUCH-ID not working. Just the board.
Every possiblity tried. DFU reset or what should i try?
