Hi all,

history is that it just stopped working, no signs of any liquid, Board is perfect. I get 20v on the charger so 3V3 is OK but 0 amps being drawn and 0v on PPBUS_G3H.
i removed the fuse and get a 3.3ohm short to ground on pin 2.
looking around the only...
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good supplier for genuine Apple parts supply in the UK?
I currently use The BookYard but they have been troublesome recently so wondered if anyone has any other tried and tested suppliers?
Maybe I?ll have to stick to China ?????

Hi all,
got a strange 12inch MacBook here.
Original issue was that it booted but to a flashing question mark. Narrowed this down to the Audio cable.
now it boots to the volume but slowly and then shows the prohibitory sign.
The IPD cable is also shorting US_G3H_TPAD_F to ground on F4800 and...
Hi all,
I have a 2014 MBP with no backlight, image is present with torch under screen.
Backlight Output = 12v
KG Display has been tested.
I'll be honest with no backlight, I generally replace most common component failures instead of testing as it's just quicker.
But this one doesn't want to...
Hi all,
I have a nightmare board - quite literally was destroyed by another company.
History is liquid damage and some poor rework.

ISL

Hi all,
History of this board is liquid i believe but someone has cleaned and messed with U7200.
Anyway it's dead - when connected to PSU it draws 1.4 amps and then straight back down to 0.02.
All the rails are present when it's first connected and sometimes it stays on and cpu/gpu get hot...
Hi all,
I have an 820-3476 that had no power missing pm_slp_s4_l.
Traced that back to a corroded U8020.
Now it spins and draws 0.14 amps. I have no vcore and cpu is cold.
On Q8150 i have all the inputs around 0.7v but All_sys_pwrgd is 0.2v (i think this should be 3.3v?)
I replaced Q8150...

Hi all,
I have an 820-3115 that is completely dead.
This is the history so far:
- No green light and 9 volts on pubs_g3h
- Replaced ISL6259 because it looked like it had a hole in it
- Green light restored
- Powered up normally.
I then plugged it back into the power supply and Q7085...

So symptoms are:
Fan spins for about 5 seconds when connected to power then stops. Then it starts again and stays on - fan goes high.
I have gone through all the power rails - all present including vcore at 1.8v.

i've tested pretty much all of the backlight circuit and it seems fine. U7700 seems to have everything too.
any ideas where to go next?
thanks
Hi everyone,
i have a strange board in at the minute which ive never experienced before.
When a magsafe adapter is connected it ends up burning out the two end pins on the MagSafe board and kills the charger.
a little reluctant to plug in my charger as they are so bloody expensive!
The...
Hi,
I get no green light on 820-4924.
ISL area looks perfect for ref.
On D7005 i get 0.02v on pin 1 which should be 16v+
Likewise for pin 2 its 0v.
On Q7010 i do get voltage on pin 1 at 16v but I'm confused what the DCIN ISOL area is for and whether this is causing the issue?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi there,

PPBUS_G3H is = 12.27v
On U6900 pin 1...
