sry, when i say turned on, i mean the fan is spinning, not neccesarily booting.
if power button doesnt work, machine can only be turned on by plugging in magsafe.( turned on mean fan is spinning.)
but mac doesnt boot. after the 3fan cycle, backlight comes for a split of second then no display at...
when power button doesnt work, i cant smc bypass on it.
usually when smc bypass success, fan spin max and the magsafe doesnt light on correct ? but inthis case the fan spin normally and i got magsafe light.
i see a little bit of liquid on u6200.
L83 vp is short to ground too. so I changed both u6200 and u6300 from 00239 board.
I have probe nothing is short surrounding u6200 and u6300, but theres still no sound. no input output detected at all..
please help guide me for measurement.. thanks..
this morning , mac's power button works, but a few hours later doesnt work anymore.
when power button doesnt work, mac cant boot with battery connected, but will without battery.
if I turn off mac with software, i can turn it on with power button.
its quite difficult to describe the exact symptom, its not consistent.
mac turn on with smc bypass.
I already used known good sparepart, all sparepart problem can be eliminated FOR sure. ( keyboard, trackpad, trackpad cable, io flex etc )
so when I plug charger, macbook turn on.
but when using only battery, i cant turn it on with powerbutton or even directly shorting smc_onoff_l.
when i tried...
i diode mode all that line.
USB3_EXTA_D2R_N
USB3_EXTA_D2R_P
USB3_EXTA_R2D_C_N
USB3_EXTA_R2D_C_P
USB3_EXTA_R2D_N
USB3_EXTA_R2D_P
and the extb one too.
no diode is shorted, the caps all have 0.310 at one side, and O.L at the other side, all good.
is this pch problem?
i have ppvin_p3v42g3h, u7090 looks touched before by previous technician, so I replaced and I have stable pp3v42 and its turning on now, will get back later if something is wrong again.
u7100 changed, all component surrounding has been checked, all good.
board doesnt turn on with charged battery.
ppbus_g3h start at 8.6v when i plug magsafe, and drop slowly till magsafe light goes off.
with fake charger, still the same exact behaviour.
when i leave the board long enough, the ppbus will start at around 8v, and then slowly dropping to very low value. (2v or something )
the device will show and disconnected, show and disconnected, in the finder. the charging indicator on the device stay charging.
both port behave the same, so im sure this is not a usb port solder joint connection problem
this machine come in dead. theres something to do with all sys pwrgd not showing, so I remove q8150. now machine turn on.
a few weeks later customer say macbook cannot connect to device. i use my known good cable to my device, its charging but itunes doesnt detect device.
I have discard all part...
diode mode with fuse connected : 0.110
resistance 17/18 27/28 3.5 and 20 ohm, normal.
the closest value i found is at :
L7130 : 0.115
L7630 : 0.120
the rest diode mode is around 0.300 - 0.400, looks good.
L7310 and L7320 is 0.05, i think its normal.
cant start in smc bypass.
hi, this came in with ppbus 8.2v
i changed smc straight away, ppbus go 8.6v, machine turn on.
a few days later,customer came, the machine is dead again.
I see ppbus_g3h is 4v,sometimes 0.5v.
I remove fuse, and I have 8.6v at pin 1. so it must be system side ? do i check for short one by one?
I...
