    [SOLVED]820-00165 Short on PPBUS_G3H

    Got a board in that has no signs of liquid damage, has magsafe light but no other signs of life. Found F7040 blown, replaced after checking that things around the ISL looked par for the course. Still no fan spin and the smell of something getting hot. Long story short in a rabbit hole removing...

    A1534 No Power, No LED

    Finally taking this board off the shelf again to see if there is any hope for it. Disregarding all past measurements, as I cannot remember under what circumstances there were taken. The board is getting 0V at F3050 and C3101. I have tried another known working LIO USB C flex cable, and the...

    Do you have any brands or models that you recommend? It seems like they are all Chinese knock offs of each other!

Im looking for a beginner rework station to practice and mess around on. Is it pretty much necessary to have...

    820-2390 16.3 V PPBUS_G3H, Runs on AC, Doesn't Work With Battery

    Duke spot on with the Q7030/31 replaced both after making sure that the ISL voltages and resistances were good other than PPBUS. Board now recognizes and charges the battery, now onto the data lines! Does that seem like a valid place to look for the temperature sensor error?

    I have not run ASD on it, I have it propped up with a fan blowing on it to keep cool. Will this model A1502 EMC 2835 work with ASD 3S155?

    820-00138 No Backlight!

    I'm working on a A1398 that displays properly on the LCD however there is no backlight. I have measured ~54v coming in to Pin 1 of the LVDS connector. Is it possible for the backlight in the display assembly to blow?

    A1534 No Power, No LED

    Checking around U7000 I don't see anything that looks visually nasty, however I do have 4 Caps that are shorted to ground or the ISL is shorted. (C7000, C7001, C7006, C7002). All are on the CHGR_LDO rails.

    A1534 No Power, No LED

    Supposedly worked but needed a keyboard replacement, came in with the bottom hanging loose and pretty much a mess. I think what happened is that the computer was most likely shipped in sleep mode or with a charged battery and now has no charge in the battery and a dead board! :rolleyes: I...

    A1534 No Power, No LED

    Got a mail in repair for a Retina MacBook, I assume they attempted to troubleshoot no power before sending it in for board repair. It arrived missing bottom case screws and some logic board screws. With a brand new Apple 29W charger and USB C cord it gets no signs of life and nothing seems to be...
