Thanks, that's great info. Yeah, I realized the other night after starting to work on these that I'm going to have to add a new question for our purchasing site that asks if they've removed it from their iCloud account and have it add or deduct automatically accordingly. This is too crazy. I...

It's definitely not a hardware issue. We're just stuck because she doesn't want to give out her passwords or remove it from her account until she knows it's deleted, which is reasonable. But I literally can't tell her anything else to do because all the conventional paths are failing. @SMMRepair...

It skips past the screen asking me for wifi, so I know it's using WLAN now, but I still end up back at that same screen (see picture). Do you think if she gave me the password for the computer itself maybe I could get somewhere that way? I can't see how it would help, but I'm not sure what other...

Thanks, I thought about that, but I didn't think that would fix the clock/Apple server issue. I'll give it a shot though. I'm out of ideas at this point.

I have a semi-functional 820-00850 that is stuck on the Activation Screen. I attached a picture. I'm talking to the previous owner so they went into their iCloud account and set it to delete when it makes contact with the internet (see attached screenshot). It keeps coming back to the Activation...

Ah, the camera, bummer. Thanks for the info. I'm guessing going the other way would probably end up with similar issues.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I'll just sell the board as-is. No time for SMC replacements. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks, no conclusion with those threads so I'll probably have to just wing it and see what happens. I don't think anything will blow up so it should be fine.

I have a non-spill 820-4924 that has an SMC that won't come on. The board is clean. 3V42 is there. SMC_RESET_L is there. PPBUS is low at 12.25 being that the SMC is not on. I'm not getting SMC_ADAPTER_EN or SMC_PM_G2_EN. Not sure where to go next.

I have a non-spill 820-3476 board that's cycling quickly. S0 voltages are cycling extremely quickly, about twice a second. Not seeing anything on CPU voltage though. I can't find any shorts or anything heating up. Sometimes the Magsafe light won't come on when plugging it in. In those cases...

Has anyone tried this? Even thought the pinout is different I have a feeling it would work. Trying to avoid blowing anything up though.

True, and it's getting 20V, so maybe it would be safe to pull.

The only reason I ask is because I would rather leave this intact for someone else with more time and ability to work on. It will be much harder to sell with a huge chip missing versus being completely intact. I don't believe it was a spill either so the board is really clean. Won't the SMC...

Any idea if this board would still be able to use the left USB ports if I just pulled UB000? It has a short on the 3V3_S0 line (PP3V3_TBT_T_S0) on this chip and I don't have any interest in replacing the chip. But I would be fine if it only had 2 USB ports vs 4.

thanks, yes, I had already seen that post on here. I thought there might be something else posted because that one was giving me this error: File not found: 173xa6aCcocithzroFtZo4RTwLPSQltRL And when I downloaded it, it was saying it was not a RAR file. I have it figured out now though using a...

well, my searching skills obviously suck. thanks anyway.

I've heard of a possible bypass for the GPU on this model, something like the 820-2915 bypass? Does anyone know if this is possible? I've seen mention of a Facebook page but I can't access it and have tried with no luck to join the group.

You're absolutely right. It happened again with an Air board. It's just that situation where the older computers can't see APFS yet, until you run the installer. Thanks so much.

I have an 820-4924 that restarts right when the boot progress bar starts. It wasn't liquid-damaged. My guess is some type of bios issue. I'm trying to fix it with my Medusa but when I try putting a new bios on it I don't get any USB drives at the boot menu. When I put the original bios back on...

Thanks, got it, replaced U7000. Ended up just being that after all.
