Hey Duke, working on this touchbar mac I'm so freaking confused on where to start PPDCIN_G3H is only pushing out 5 v. Where do i start to look for the issue i checked all power rails resistance to ground and cant find any shorts, I need help to understand how this new system works.
Yes its water...
Hey guys this is a general question about finding shorts. This problem happens to me from time to time and i have no clue on what to do.
From time to time i will get a board where i find a short to ground, so i then would inject voltage in that circuit, but when voltage is injected the voltage...
Hi guys i managed to get one of these in my store water damaged. Of course upon inspection the water damage was near and around the U7650 which is our same as older models tps chip. Checking around that area i noticed that 5vs5 is missing so i checked for shorts none are present. I checked for...
Hey guys working on a 820-00239 was water damage near the u9300, lets be clear its not an efi lock because i can boot up with an external drive. When i checked disk utility the drive is missing so we can move on. i ultrasonic that area but still no luck the main voltages going to that chip seems...
Hey guys working on this 820-3787, did some troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that i'm not getting 3v3 s0. No short to ground but after checking further i see that it comes from PM_SLP_S3_L, it is 0v not enabling u8180 to open. I have 3v3 s5 on pin 5 as always i get confused with this...

Hi Guys this one is pulling my brains on this one. Customer came in stating that this unit has no audio which is very strange because on boot you hear it chime. But when you try and play a video there is no sound, if i plug in the headphones there is sound, but when i unplug the headphones the...
Hey guys working on this 15 in retina which looks like it was sodomized by another shop. I noticed that pbus voltage was 1.6v at charger phase at u7100, I checked my current sense resistors all seem good with normal readings 5v is at input pins of u7100 ac in is at normal 4v at pin 3 dc in is...
Whats up guys just shoot me quick, green light on charger no liquid damage cpu gets warm, no fan spin 5vs0 3v3s0 is present no known shorts to ground let me guess dead graphics chip should i send to the donor gods or does it have a chance for life again?
Hey Guys working on this 15in 820-3662 does not turn on has green light on charger, has a short to ground on ppbus G3h circut So i removed fuses 7040 and 7041 put meter in diode mode short shows up on pin2 going to system. Then i injected voltage and nothing really gets hot but i used a flair...
Customers complaint shuts off before boot. I checked current sense resistors all good. checked and replaced clock chip good, main power rails are present no known shorts to ground no water damage the tantalum cap is the only thing I didn't change yet because it does not have a short to ground...
Hi guys working on an 820-00165 air board, as we all know all rails are present green light on charger. Only rail i'm not sure about is PP5V S4RS3 which has 0v i tested for shorts on s0 rails and all are fine. What else could i check to solve this issue ?
Hey guys I'm working on a 820-4924 no signs of liquid damage unit turns on verified by plugging in a usb thumb stick with led on it. Fan spins when it gets hot, does not chime or display any video. S0 power rails have power, cpu vcore rail also has power. Any ideas on what the problem would be ?
