have double checked and triple checked, replaced another ISL62383 for good measure and still get the same results.
removed all resisters connected to the ISL and measured them individually,
this should be a closed circuit. this is gonna keep me awake for days trying to solve
Board does not boot and LED 1 only blink.
pp12V_G3h - 12V
pp12V_s5 = 12v
pp3v42 - 3.41
pp5v_s5 = 4.9
pp3v3_s5 = 0
PM_EN_P3V3_S5_REG = 3.8v constant.
Tried replacing u7700 - same, but i replaced with ISL62383C same outcome.
i removed R7776 to cut pp3v3_s5 from load, i get still get 3.3 for...
PCH_SRTCRST_L - 3.3
PCH_INTVRMEN - 1.8 / 3.3
PCH_INTRUDER_L. -1.8 / 3.3
SYSCLK_CLK32K_RTCX1 - 32KHz on o-scope
but i find the reading abit inconsistant in the sense sometimes i get low reading about 1.8V for INTVRMEN and INTRUDER but when reconnect magsafe it goes to 3.3.
Unit came is as dead, no light on magsafe
Found smc shorted, and pp3v42_g3h 8.7V
replaced SMC, U7090,R7095,R7096. and now get orange light on charger.
Still does not boot.
RTC voltage and pch signal all good but missing pm_slp_sus_l. This needed for pm_slp_ s5_l signal? or dead CPU
Hello,
i just received 2 units MBP 820-2915 and both have the same symptom.
Fan spins, No chime, no USB activity, No Capslock. Vcore 0.78V. when removed RAM, it beeps. same with SMC Bypass mode.
I know GPU dies alot for this modal but what are the other usual suspects?
my bad here..i think this board won't boot without battery, so it was displaying the low battery icon but issue was no backlight so i was not able to see it. even under light it is hard but i caught it.
Unit is very clean.. no water damage anywhere but does this funny boot sequence.
first cycle - fan immediately spins for 5 seconds and power cut off. during this, cpucore is 1.05v
2nd cycle - without unplugging charger, i get cpucore 1.05v for 5 seconds, but no fan spin. fan start spinning...
okay, using back the same thread as i just received another mac same model which does this.
Boots up apple logo with spinning wheel, about 15 seconds later, shuts down. but stays on when no HDD is plugged in. I read that this is the classic bad GPU issue on this model
Would DeMux solve this issue?
Got a 2915 with no image no backlight no external display. my guess is the GFX is dying/dead, and if its not it will soon be anyway, so wanting to try a Gmux flash for the first time, getting this error on lattice programmer below: so my guess is that the jtag scan came up empty because it...
I'm measuring 1V+ on pm_slp_s4_l. All main voltage before S4 is good, but PCH signals are not
PCH_SRTCST_L 3v3V
PCH_INTRUDER_L 1.8V
PCH_INTVRMEN jumping abobut from 0.6 to 0.9V
ppvrtv 3.3v
RTC_RESET_L 3.3V
reading on those resisters are within spec
DSWVRMEN is 60ohm 0V
pump 1.5v into DSWVRMEN...
