    A2115 27" 5K iMac not turning on after SSD upgrade.

    Hi 2informaticos. Sorry for the delay, I have been away from work for a few days. I stupidly reinstalled the mainboard, without getting the model off it first. However, checking the serial it is a 2019" A2115 iMac 27", which, according to the follow site, indicates that it must be a 820-01236...

    A2115 27" 5K iMac not turning on after SSD upgrade.

    Hello again. I just cloned a customer's iMac internal hard disk onto a 2.5" SSD connected via a USBC adapter. That completed successfully. I then removed the AC power, removed the two connectors for the screen, took out the screen, and then replaced the hard disk. Prior to reassembling it, I...

    Sorry for the delay 2informaticos - I'm only working a few days a week at the moment.

    Macbook Pro A1989 820-00850-A not turning on.

    Hello once again 2informaticos, and thanks for your help. Yes, I disconnected the screen, and tried it on the original screen that was working, but had stiff hinges. No display on either, nor on a external screen. I am able to get it into DFU mode, however, when I try Advanced-Revive Device, it...

I checked the system booted, and confirmed the faulty hinges, then shut it down, and removed the assembly and replaced with another aftermarket...

    A2251 (820-01949-A) No display on internal or external monitor

    OK, perhaps I make a misdiagnosis re heat causing the issue. The unit stayed on overnight with the desktop fan on it. After checking all the data was copied, I then retested it without the fan, and it seems stable. To check the temps, and the fans, I ran "YES" from the terminal. The CPU got...

    Thanks for your advice once again 2informaticos, and I hope you had a good Easter. The customer was hoping to get the files back, but were happy to not get them, if we have to wipe it to get it going, which I was going to do via DFU mode. UPDATE: After the Easter break, I again had a look at...

    Does the store sell flux? If not, what brand/source do people recommend?

    As per the title, does the store sell flux? A search on the store for flux returns 5 items, solder braid, etc, but no actual flux? Is it hidden away somewhere? If the store doesn't stock it, can anyone recommend a decent Brand, and good source for them? I'm in Tasmania, Australia, but happy to...

    Hi again. I found a dodgy capacitor on PPBUS_G3H. It wasn't a complete short, but was getting hot when I injected a low voltage. With it removed, the system boots and operates fine. Thank you for your advice and help, once again, I appreciate it.

    Hi again. Sorry for the delay. I was away from work from last Thursday. ALL_SYS_PWRGD is actually 0.12v, not 1.2V. PM_SLP_S3_L is absolutely steady on 3.32v. I removed r8164, R8165, R8166, r8168 one at a time, while leaving R8167 in place. ALL_SYS_PWRGD still low (0.12v). PM_SLP_S3_BUF_L...

    liquid damaged 820-00165-A with no fan, amber light OK, ALL_SYS_PWRGD = 1.2V

    Hi again 2informaticos, and thanks for your help. I cleaned U1950 and reflowed with flux - no change. I then removed it - Pad 8 did look dirty, but after cleaning looked good. I cleaned the pads, added some leaded solder, then resoldered U1950 - no change. I removed Q8150 - no change. R8167 = 10KΩ
