Who else is seeing this terrible work carried out by whatever mongs have the audacity to exist on this planet. Before even removing the chip there are signs of extreme rapeage... This is a refurb by APPLE, not a 3rd party The Green dot: A little hint of what to expect under the chip...

Hi. Can someone please upload an EFI image with a clean ME please?... SSN is not important. 820-4924 2.7GHz i5-5257U Thank you

This board looks like someone plugged a USB killer into it... Probably not but here is the list of failures. L4605 burned cracked chared PCB. - REMOVED U4600 has a hole in it - REMOVED U6410, U6440, U6430, U6420 all shorted - REMOVED U8080 shorted - REPLACED U7501 fucked - REPLACED ISL6259 had...

Liquid damage board. Backlight working, blank screen. Tested with a good screen no difference. Connector looks fine. Will test voltages.

Hi. Does someone please have a BIOS with a clean ME for this:

I've not seen this first hand. This looks to me like a failed GPU but I thought the NVIDIA chips were solid... C9560 causing this? Maybe VRAM or the GPU or the MUX?

820-2915 For now I have tied it to 3V3_S0 and backlight is working. Really don't want to fuck the MUX, shuold I bother tryng to reflow it?

Liquid, very bad but mainly around SSD J3700 which needed to be replaced. EDIT. Trackpad is working. Keyboard not working KeyBoard not working. Same KB and T-Pad / cable are working with a good board I have tested KB connector pin voltages against a working board with T-Pad plugged and...

No liquid. Seemingly arbitrary failure. PBUS = 8.59 3V42 = 3V42 S5 = 3V3, 5V PM_SLP_S4_L = 1V No shorts on anything connected to PM_SLP_S4 L Flushed out under SMC. Help please. Thanks.

Hi. If Louis or anyone else would like to share where they got the correct size BGA nozzle for the CPUs on the touch bar Retinas please? Many Thanks.

Previous work. Liquid damaged. PPBUS = 8.6 3V42 = 3V42 S5 rails = 3v3 5v All S4 S3 S0 rails (3v3, 5v, 1v05, 1v5, 1v2, 1v8, 0v6) cycling. Can't find a short. I'm guessing maybe Isense somewhere is bad? I'm stuck on this one. Sorry there is not much to go on

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has explored the possibilities of cured underfill removal, using organic solvents? I read a post suggesting Dynasolve 225 https://www.dynaloy.com/products/dynasolve-225 I mght give this a shot. Other suggestions are to heat the chip / PCB area to well above...

Please, please, if you can't repair even a simple backlight circuit STOP FUCKING WITH OTHER PEOPLES LOGIC BOARDS!.... until you can do it properly!! This was sent in by a customer with no backlight. WTF. So many boards come through here already fucked up. If you know you are one of these...

Ahhh, Just Amazing! DiciKey!!!...

In the images below there are 2 genunely new chips and 2 old chips pulled from boards Can you tell which one is fake?. Please post answers.

Every time I get a board in that has a GPU with a little green dot on it, the BGA site solder mask is always raked to shit. They are always a pain in the arse. Thing is, plenty of boards have been worked on already and they dont have that green dot and they are usually alright. Any idea what's...

Hi. I'm sure I remember reading that these 2017 trackpads need to be calibrated tro the logic board which can only be done by Apple or an AASP. Is this correct?

Liquid U7600. No other areas. No ADAPTER_EN No S5_PWR_EN No MagSafe 3V42 is 3V42 PPBUS 12.25 Tried SMC, no good.

GPU load gives black screen.... U9300?
