Hello all, I wanted to know if anyone has seen this issue before. A client came by with video problems. My first thought was the GPU Vcore, but how i have seen that is Video or No Video, not a glitchy video. I have not poked around yet, as if it is a breaking solder joint, i know i could make...

Hello all, Received this one and it would not boot past the apple logo. Well, it seemed like it would loose power or reset just a second after the apple showed up. So, with no physical damage on the motherboard, i took a stab at the bios. Pulled it off and stuck another on. It ended up booting...

I have wondered and know one of you knows for sure. What all does reinstalling/updating to a newer osx reset? SMC, PRAM, BIOS? I ask, because I have seen some people clame battery issues that should be resolved with an SMC reset - be solved with a clean install of osx. Other times, I offer a...

Title says it all. I have 820-00165-02 boards for doners, but a 820-00164-A came by with some water damage under the SMC. Are the 11" and 13.3" interchangeable? Thanks!

Hey all, got a a MBA the other day that was 3 beeping me. Checked out the voltage going to the ram and it is sitting at 1.35V. The schematic says 1.5V and with ram, I know that could be a big difference but wasn't too sure as i though desktop ram is normally around that 1.32v range. Maybe my...

Hey all, Severely waterdamaged board. Hobby board. My 25mhz signal is terrible and dropping with the fan cycle. Looks like its possibly not getting pulled all the way to ground? R1885 and R1886 checked out ok. 32khz is fine and always present. cpuvcore is only present with fanspin. Should I...

Hello all, Before I asked about the Sealed Battery Test failing - and it seems that is quite common and does not effect usage How about the other tests? I assume Error Condition Test would effect the computer speed How about the RA table test? At the moment, one of my replacement batteries -...

Hey all, Got brought a dead MBP, client states he brought it in for maintenance a few years ago to another shop. After a year, he says it didn't power on randomly, so he pulled the bottom case and said that he found a screw floating around in the system on the mobo. Says he kept it for another...

Hey all, This is a warranty repair from a previous job I had. You can see previous thread in the link. I am suspicious that the battery I got was crap (amazon purchase). Unfortunately I do not have another battery to test it with on hand and I am located in south america so shipping will take...

Hello all! I hope someone here has a great memory! About 1-2 months ago, I saw one of Louis's videos where he had a bad bios chip on a motherboard. It worked when he heated it up to a point and he grabbed the programing off of it then reprogramed a new one and removed a portion so it could re...
