Board still working. But, WiFi stopped. I found that PP3V3_G3S_WLAN shorted (diode mode 0.008).
When I put it on the charger, the U3730 gets very hot. Is it worth changing?
Yes, original charger.
It stayed on charge for around 1 hour. Then I turned it off, took out the charger. Today I went back to test, everything had toasted.
The board is perfect. no oxidation.
Do I put the new chips in and test?
I ended up removing them all. On each chip, the 3V3_UPC line was shorted, when removing the chip, the short ended. I didn't say it, but the U3100 was causing a short on the PP3V3_G3H_RTC line.
Since I already made the mistake of removing them all, any tips?
The Mac had its logic board replaced in another service with a board that came from China! It arrived to me without working. All CD3215 chips were shorting the PP3V3_UPC, the U3200 had a burn mark.
I replaced the four chips and the Mac turned on again, I tested all the ports, and the battery...
I'm testing with an original 140w charger. Only the board, it is stuck at 20v and 0.08v. When there is a battery, the board turns on, I feel the trackpad click and it keeps restarting.
C9522 was oxidized and shorted. but the problem continued.
It goes into DFU mode, I just tried to revive, it...
Sorry, I think now I understand.
3V3_S5 is stable. When I press the power button, it drops and goes back to 3.3v. The 12V_S5 has no drop.
Do you recommend somewhere to buy the Q6970? I can't find it anywhere.
It worked for a few hours and stopped. Having the same problem, LED 1 blinking.
I went to start checking the lines, it started working again. When there is a problem, 3V3_S5 is stable.
Board with LED always on, when I press power, LED 1 blinks.
I'm using the data from 820-3478!
Replaces the Q8450 and U8470 (FET_EN_P12V_S5 has 11.1v, even after changing)
Any tips?
I got a good board and compared some components in diode mode. I found pin 2 of the D7005 changed, I changed it and it seems to work. Mac running on battery and charging with magsafe 45w.
