On one port I get 5v 0.00a on the other port I get 5v 160mA but if I spin the charging cable around I will get nothing on this port (AMP meter does not light up)
PPDCIN_G3H =...
I managed to get the board to work by heating the CPU. Booted up and I had display.
Shut it down to reassemble and tested again but would not come on.
Board now stuck at 20v
Draws 220mA for 5 seconds then drops to 160mA and stays at that.
Would an SMC reset fix this or am I looking at a problem...

I have the above board which had some water damage. I've managed to get the board working and Mac OS loads fine. A lot of the liquid spilt onto the touch bar connector area especially J5100.
I couldn't find a replacement touchbar in the UK for the a1989 but ordered one for the a1708 which I...

I'm getting display from an external monitor but not from the LCD.
Shining a light through the back of the screen does not show up any icons etc.
Without having a test screen to try what's the best way to determine if it's the logic board or the LCD? I've measured the voltage at pin 1 of...
I have an 820-01521-a board which had liquid damage. I was only getting 5v on my USB-C meter and 0v on ppbus_g3h. I went ahead and replaced isl9240 and now I get 20v on USB meter but ppbus_g3h only 12.58v for 30 seconds and then drops to 12.26v for 10 seconds. This process keeps repeating.
Any...
