I can try a good battery, just don't have one right now.
The laptop is so slow it takes 30 minutes to login and for everything to load.
Would a bad battery do that?
Hi.
Macbook Air 2017 A1932 820-01521-A. No liquid damage. Powers on ok. Performance is sluggish and fans initially spin slow but get faster and louder after 2-3 minutes.
Apple diagnostics reports:
1) battery requires service: PPT006
2) There may be an issue with SMC: PFM006
Does this SMC need...
Tried to heat up CPU as instructed. Did not help.
Is it worth validating PCH is outputting correct frequencies?
Thank you for the help and guidance. Much appreciated!
RTC_RESET_L = 3.341v
PCH_SRTC_RST_L = 3.341v (the doc refered to "SRTC_RST_L". I assumed it was this one)
PCH_INTRUDER_L = 3.073v
PCH_INTVRMEN = 3.249v
I noticed the values changing between hot and cool board. I removed U7000 last night and checked it this morning.
I'll continue playing with this, but being an old board, I'll work on it when I have time.
My biggest issue is not being able to compare this to a working board.
Appreciate your...
My bad on the diode "v" (edited the above) . Just to clarify, for the above diode reading, board was not connected to power.
Could anything else be pulling down the voltage on PPBUS_G3H or is this most likely a bad SMC?
Thanks for the guidance. Much appreciated!
Replaced u7000 and now getting steady green light. 12.3V on PPBUS_G3H which seems a little low. Board not connected to battery.
