I have seen several of these machines that exhibit graphical glitches (typically green) while playing full screen video. The machine will otherwise behave normally with no other issues. I suspect this is either one of 2 things. A. Driver issue related to a specific MacOs version OR. B...

Got a 00840 trolling me. Came in no liquid with a history of a dog biting it. First thing I checked was output on external. Nothing, Unplugged the screen and tried again. Nothing. This was with a genuine apple usb c to vga dongle. Checked CPU vcore... 0.94 volts. GPU vcore - 0v. Missing...

Hey guys, this one is really throwing me for a loop -- Came in with history of customer ultrasonically cleaning it, also with the note of "Magsafe sparked when plugged in" Went through the rails -- All rails present except PP5v_S0 PP3v3_S0 is present. U7500 and Q7511/10 had some residue...

Time for a little break. Getting sick of nonsense rabbit hole boards.

Had a interesting 820-3437 come in. Liquid damaged. Noticed the airport connector and card was melted. Didn't have a connector so I soldered jumpers to the board. Ghetto? Yes absolutely but it works. Anyway.. Still no bluetooth. I'm pretty sure I just have to replace u3510 and maybe q3510 but I...

I had a 820-3115 come in with heavy corrosion on the edge where most of the liquid will come in. Cleaned all the areas up with flux and heat and ran it through the USC. All working. Replaced quite a few corroded and burned components and all was working. There was corrosion on the CPU fets so I...

820-2914 came in with what appeared to be no VCORE. Checked PPVCORE_S0_CPU and it was 0.97V.. SPI termination resistors OK as well. PMSLP_S4_L was missing, However I replaced the Clk chip and it was restored. ALLSYS Power Good present. **THIS BOARD HAS NO LIQUID DMG** The CPU gets hot as...

So I decided to get into logic board repairs in September of 2016... a few months before hand I remember looking at a pack of tweezers and thinking to myself I could never repair Macbook boards at component level... A few months passed and I found myself buying a cheap SMD rework station that...
