No backlight board, board came to me with liquid damage, however very minimal, and the spill seemed to have not contact anything critical.
Backlight circuit has no damage, neither does display connector.
0V on backlight output, started to diagnose with good working screen. I would get image...
Hello, 820-4924 with some water damage on the LVDS connector, replaced and still no backlight, pin 1 was frayed and bent, so I replaced it. That is the only known history on this board. Backlight circuit looks untouched.
Tested with a 100% known working display, and the display had the bad LVDS...
820-3437, liquid damaged
Symptoms are very strange. Board will start up, and take around 400-600 mah, then restart (normal), then take another 400-600 mah, and then go to around 700-800 and stay there.
We do have VCORE, and all other rails are present. No chime, No video (Externally or EDP)...
820-00928
Will run off charger alone, no battery connected, will run off battery, however when plugged into charger while on battery, it will say "Battery Is Not Charging".
I used my USB-C meter, and the board will take 20.38V and 0.000-0.020 mah while plugged into the charger, and having the...
820-3536 board
Symptoms are will turn on, in a constant bootloop, chime every 3 seconds. SMC reset does work but nothing changes, PRAM reset does not work. I cannot find any 820-3536 files online, only 3476, are they the same??
Inspected board and some corrosion around U7200, and J6100...
820-00426, symptoms are all power rails are present, board alone takes a little over an amp, and slowly rises
CPU and GPU VCORE all present, as well as clean ME and reflashed BIOS chip, USB lights up but no activity.
Im leaning this towards a dead cpu, however I just want to be sure. R to G on...
820-00165, history is weird, however came to me with dent in charger port, and it looks like some charger port water damage too. Owner said she brought it to apple and they diagnosed it as a bad logic board. Board will boot in safe mode on its own sometimes, and fans will spin to max.
When I...
820-00138
Board takes around 88-94 mah, and stays.
No liquid damage signs but it looks like its been ultrasoniced before.
Ive seen boards with no spi rom act sort of this way, so I measured U6100. Noticed immediately PP3v3_sus was shorted to ground and 0v, though nothing was getting warm, pch...
820-3435 came into my possession. Board took over 2 Amps, and CPU was getting hot. Obviously knew it was dead, so why not have some fun? Also got it for 10$. I removed the shielding above the die to expose it. Idk if anyone else thinks stuff like this is cool but this just fascinates me, and...
Hello, I have an 820-3435 which has been through a little, but ALOT. I first got the board and noticed it had water damage across different parts of the board, mainly backlight, and some parts of the thunderbolt hardware as well. However, the CPU has a tiny little chip on the PCB of the CPU, on...
This is starting to puzzle me. All power rails are present and the machine is turning on. Signs of liquid damage however extremely minimal and have nothing to do with any critical components.
Fans spin, all main power rails are normal, I get USB light however no activity, and I get a...
820-3437, came to me taking 20-21 miliamps with just power connected, when connected to power board it showed red/green light and took 24-26 miliamps.
I measured all rails, and all seemed good except for PM_SLP_S4, and thought it was a corrupt ME or something like that. IT WAS, however now that...
I have an 820-00165 that only fully turns on in SMC bypass mode. The Macbook enters S0 state but only for about 5 seconds, then comes from 500 man then goes to 6 mahs.
Another weird thing I'm noticing is PPBUS_G3H is at 9.28V, instead of the normal 8.6V, and when the Macbook goes to 6 mahs...
MacBook Pro has no signs of liquid damage, power on quickly and fine, passes Apple Diagnostics but kernel panics on startup of any OS. The kernel panic is weird though because no kernel extensions are in backtrace, all it says is Thread 0 crashed. I have kind of narrowed this down to being a CPU...
U6100 and its surroundings look good, seems to have some liquid damage, corrosion around some traces but nothing major. I have cleaned up most traces that look bad but board still does not completely turn on.
All power rails are there, board starts out at 350 Mah, then goes to about 600 Mah or...
820-00165
The Logic Board does not turn on, when attached to my power supply it will take 30Mah, then quickly 19Mah, then to about 160 for a split second, then back to 30. I have narrowed down the problem to U8080, and the PP5V_S4R3 rail. It seems like there is a short to ground, however I have...
Hello, I have a MZ-JPU128T/A02 SSD, that is not working properly, there is water damage on this resistor (and capacitor) and when measuring resistance of it, it turns out to 26 OHMs, it also has continuity in Diode mode, I don?t think these are correct values, I need someone to confirm the...
When I touch, with my finger, U5110, or U7090, the SMC will reset
Its actually seems like the SMC turns on, then off, then on again.
This board had a history of liquid damage, there seems to be no damage around U5110, and its surroundings, however on U7090, the chip itself seems fine, but...
Im getting a short every time I plug in the screen, my first suspect was Q7707, however I have already replaced it and everything measures correctly. EDP_BKLT_EN is 3.2V, same with BKLT_PLT_RST, its at 3.2V as well.
When I plug in the screen LCDBKLT_EN_L gets 0V, and Q7706 gets shorted...
