Hi,
Macbook air suden death. It was stuck at 5v -0,4 amp. I found L7800 completely burned. I removed it, now it's 5V -0,004 amp.
Now I have diode mode .464 PIN1 and .224 PIN2 where L7800 was.
Can I replace it and try to power or should I check something else ?
Thanks
Claude
Hi,
Macbook get 5V and stay at 0.16 - 0.40 amp. I found a short on CF131 PIN1 near UF500. It's PP0V9_ATCRTMR1_VCCA. It's connected to CF143, CF130 and RF101 and RF100.
I want to make sure my diag is correct. I have .019 on diode mode, so it really looks like a short. Compare to simialr cap...

Hello
For data recovery only, does 820-01041-A need U3000 to start ?
U3000 blown, I removed it, pads 6 & 7 gone. I see a short on PIN2 USB_SOC_TYPEC_N. It goes to UE010 on schematic but the board is a little bit different. If I remove UE010 would Mac start ?
