    820-00165 S0 Rails Pulsing

    Got this board here which had no power. PP3V3_SUS was low, only 0.45V. I found corrosion under U8020, so I replaced it and got back PP3V3_SUS to normal. Now the board pulses all S0 rails in loop but does not turn on. I inspected whole board and could not find any more corrosion in it. Any ideas?

    820-00281 Burning USB Devices

    Got this board here. Left USB ports were working only for charging but not for data. They would not send power to USB devices, so I replaced U3500 and it started overheating USB devices connected to any port and would not mount them, so I replaced U3500 again, still same issue, it even burned an...

    820-3115 Quarter Fan

    Got this board here completely dead with a little corrosion around C5010, which mad the trace between it and the pad passing through SMC to evaporate. I ran a wire to rebuild the trace and now the board has green light but only quarter fan and dies, no loop, just a single spin and dies until I...

    820-3115 Goes Fan Full Blast When Sleeping

    Got this board with really strange issue. It runs normally, works everything, except when I put it to sleep. When the machine enters sleep state fan goes full blast and stays like that until I wake it up. When machine wakes, everything goes back to normal, fan goes back to normal RPM and system...

    820-00928 Charges On All Ports, Turn On But No USB On Left Ports

    Hello. Got this board here. It turns on, charges battery, works perfectly except for left USB ports. They can charge battery via USB-C but no USB devices get detected on them, not even get power from USB on USB mouse or any other device. The board had corrosion near U3500/5850/3906 which I...

    820-00164 PP3V3_S5 Stuck @0.6V

    Hello. Got this board here with 3v3_s5 stuck at 0.6V. There's no short on that line. Already replaced U7501, C7564, C7588, Q7560. Still same. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    820-00923 PP1V8_UPC_XA_LDOD Reading 3.3V Instead of 1.8V

    This board came with no power. Stuck at 5V. After inspection I discovered the 2 left USB-C ports keep resetting the charger. After some measurements I found that PP1V8_UPC_XA_LDOD is giving around 3V instead of expected 1.8V. I then replaced U3100 as it's the component that generates this...

    820-00850 No 20V

    Hello! Got this one from another shop here and it was missing U3100. I placed it again and had to run a little jumper to establish connection between R3109 and PIN 37 of U3100. Board pulls 5V and 0.25A from charger but won't negotiate 20V. I have 12.24V on PPBUS_G3H and T2 gets a little warm...

    820-2936 CPU Not Boosting

    Hello. Got this board with a strange behavior. CPU clock is stuck at 0.8GHZ according to Intel Power Gadget and the machine is running terribly slow. This board has classic issue on R5301/02 area and on the under side too. Verified all resistors and traces and all good. Mouse moves normally...

    820-02016 Strange Problem

    Hello. Got this one here, which I'm thinking may have a NAND problem. It does not turn on, don't negotiate 20V with charger, BUT, after taking some measurements and inspecting the board a little under the microscope I found that PP2V5_AWAKE_NAND is around 3.5V oscillating and UN100 gets a little...

    820-01987 Stuck on 5V

    Hello. Got this board here. Very clean, no signs of corrosion. It negotiates only 5V with charger. Already checked for shorts, no shorts found. Replaced both CD3217, same issue. Tried replacing U7000 too as I'm not getting CHGR_EN_MVR, but same result... I'm stuck... I'm not good at this new...

    820-00850 No 20V

    Hello. Got this board here. It's a return actually. The first time this board came here it had been all poked by another technician and there were 2 CD3215B1 in place of C00. After a lot of work I made the board work again. It worked for 2 months and this week it came back again with no 20V on...

    Charge A1706 Battery With Bench PSU

    Hello! Is there any way of charging an A1706 MacBook Pro battery using a bench PSU? I ask because I have one here that got over discharged and is giving only 2.5V and is not charging with original charger. I want to try to revive it. I do this with iPhone batteries just by putting 5V on PSU and...

    Got this board here for rework. It came here about 2 or 3 months ago for repair... On the occasion it had a short on 3v3 line that was preventing machine to turn on, also some corrosion around U7100, which I cleaned and replaced. Machine worked well for the next 2 or 3 months and yesterday it...

    Hello. Got this board here and it was not turning on, shorted PPBUS_G3H line, which I traced to bad U7330, which I replaced.

    820-3330 Shutting Off Intermittently

    Hello. Got this board here that shuts itself down when stressed. I thought initially it was bad battery because it was indeed bad. So I replaced it three times and same thing. Decided putting in an original battery that's working perfectly on another machine and problem persists, so I discarded...

    820-00928 Resetting USB-C

    Hello. Got this board from another store. It has already been poked/cleaned, so I don't have its history. Apparently no missing components. If I plug USB-C charger I get 5V on FB200 and F3000 does't matter if the USB-C cable is reversed or not. On the other 2 fuses I only get 5V if it's on an...
