checked again, for sure there is usb activity..

anything that can cause the gpu not to kick in
or just the gpu itself?
i might be getting it wrong, because i think there is no vcore now..
which i'm pretty sure there was before (there was a chime, pram reset)
etc...
any idea why a restore would cause that?
maybe it was locked?
when i connect usb mouse i get the light working on it.
nothing on external video
pram reset does not work after the restore
can't get the mac into Target disk mode...
interesting because before the restore it had pram reset and chime.
now those gone..
correct, DFU restore finishing with no error
but again, black screen (backlight is on, but no apple logo or os installation)
also, no chime or pram reset after the restore.
i tried to restore a few times, from machine with catalina and also big sur..

hi
pram reset chimes but does not solve the problem

now the mac no longer chimes but comes on with a bright black screen, than dims and nothing more.

Hello
working on a board 820-01814-a from a1990 machine.
the mac is dead, does not charge or power on..
while checking with usb c measuring tool on the charger
it is drawing 5.17V and 0.01A
took out the logicboard, looks very clean, missing PPbus_G3H
and also missing every other power rail...

many thanks...

hi
it's 11.5 k ohm on USB_TPAD_P
and 60k ohm on USB_TPAD_N
measure the same on a good board and it's the same..
the other side on this connection is the cpu so no way to measure when trackpad connected..
the PPVIN_S4_TPAD_FUSE is 12.56v is that normal?
on the schematic says 8.6v..
:|
i don't see a way to check when the trackpad is connected...
can you say on which pin of the trackpad to measure?
maybe on the boardview there is another point to check from?
i also have a 820-00138 board with almost the exact same issue
didn't thought would be such a nightmare to diagnose...
i agree that it seems like trackpad is maybe causing short to ground
not by trackpad but on the logicboard...
where can i measure pch or usb while trackpad is connected \ disconnected?
