Hi, so I have an interesting problem. Got in a liquid damaged 16 Inch MacBook Pro for a customer for board repair. Well there is no fixing this thing, it is toast. I sold him an exact replacement 16" as I had a used one. Well he called me next day saying his professional software he uses for...

Hi, having some major issues with my personal 16" MacBook Pro I use every day. The machine appears to work fine, but once you put it to sleep for a while and try to wake it up it doesn't come back up again but rather quickly spins the fans to max RPM before rebooting and showing th message that...

Hi, having some Problems with this mid 09 board. It was at a different shop before as the backlight didn't work and they told the customer they couldn't fix it. I actually had a talk with that other place and they said they used freeze spray to find the issue causing the backlight issue and and...

Hi, having some major issues with a 6s I am working on. Basically the phone came in with greyed out wifi and non functional bluetooth. I started by just recalling the WiFi Chip which did actually bring back wifi. But it got very hot and threw a temp warning every minute or so. So I removed the...

Hi, after a bit of a break from board repair due to personal reasons im back at it again! I bought this A1502 13" late 2013 retina which has a super weird issue! It works just fine for a while but after like 30 minutes it cuts out and sometimes won't power up until you let it sit for a while. I...

Hi, have this 820-3462A A1425 2012 13" Retina Board that used to have a shorted SMC. Well I finally tracked one down an replaced it. Board still won't work though. It does have the orange light (so 3V42 definitely working) and PPBUS_G3H is normal. Any suggesting? Which rails should I post?

Hi, have a question. Is there anything theoretically possible to fix a1534 MacBook 12" Units with failed SSDs. I mean you can fix failed iPhone NANDs by replacing them and reprogramming the new one. Something similar possible here?

Hi, I have this mid 2012 13” non retina here for repair. It initially wouldn’t power on no green light or anything but it works using a charged battery. If I plug in a charger there is no light, although it does show the little symbol on the top menu bar under System profiler it detects a...

Hi, have this really tough A1425 2012 retina board. It won't recognise a SSD even with a know good drive and known good caddy. All power lines at J4500 are present as expected. How do I properly check the data lines?

Hi, have this 820-3787-A Board which is completely dead no green light. PP3V42_G3H is 0V. My DC IN Board and genuine MagSafe Charger are known good. Aynone got a idea? I habe no idea on the history, just that it had a prior repair

Hi got this A1534 12" 2015 Retina MacBook in for repair after a small spill over the Keyboard. My first ever 12" Retina I've worked on. The Keyboard is completely unresponsive as well as the Trackpad. I was first tempted to replace the top case as these are absolutely notorious for their...

Hi, anyone got charged double this month?

Need an SMC for an 820-3462A A1425 2012 13" Retina. Cant find a thing though.. Well there is one sketchy vendor from aliexpress selling a scapulas board with SMC for 45USD but he won't ship to Germany. And the people on Ebay selling SMCs just sell useless blank chips... Any idea where I can get...

Hi, got this "Liquid Damaged" A1425 in for repair. Has absolutely no corrosion though! Doubt it actually got wet at all. Regardless, it has no power, green light and then orange comes on. PPBUS_G3H and PP3V42_G3H are present. S5 rails like PP5V_S5 and PP3V3_S5 are not! Anyone know what could be...

Have this A1502 here which is missing its display and I sadly have no test displays. So I attempted to power it up and the fan spins but it doesn?t chime or output a signal to an external display. Anyone got a clue what could be going wrong?

Hi, have this Touch Bar Board here I'm having trouble diagnosing. It pulls a steady 0.015A at 5.2V but never jumps to 20V. PP3V3_G3H is missing, but the Enable on Pin 10 of U6903 is present at 5.4V. Anyone know how to proceed? This is one of my first TouchBars I'm working on so I'm not that...

Hi, have this A1398 with some super weird problems I?ve never seen before. I got it having a short on PPBUS. This was cleared after removing MOSFET Q7260 which cleared the short. Replaced it with a donor and as soon as I gave it power it got very hot and PPBUS was shorted again. I checked out...
