Working on a 820-2936-B with no backlight. No known liquid damage.
F9700 is good.
Have 11.09V on and .597 diode mode measurement PPVOUT_SW_LCDBKLT
Have 3.2V on P3V3_LCDVDD_SW_F
Have 3.3V on PP3V3_S0_LCD_F
Any idea why I don't have backlight?
Thanks
I realize it's hard to explain air temp/speed settings but what is the trick here to getting these off without melting them? I've tried heating them from the bottom and they still melt.
The MacBook was liquid damaged. Everything except the trackpad works after cleaning in ultrasonic. Looks like the connector is missing a pin. What are my options? I see keyboard connectors available for purchase but no trackpad connectors. These melt if you try pulling one from a donor board...
Here are the diode mode measurements you requested:
pin 2 of R5280 is 0.338

Lesson learned. Next time I'll ask before going for it.
Anything else I should try before...
It was failing Ts0P...I checked the trackpad connection and it was partially unplugged.
I reseated the connection, ran the test again and it still failed.
Going to replace the trackpad and see if that solves the issue.
I have a 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro here.
The MacBook runs super slow and fan runs on high. No knowledge of previous liquid damage, no sign of corrosion anywhere on the board.
I heated the SMC to 150C but am still having the same problem.
Ran ASD EFI and am getting ERROR - SMC IO failed.

The camera is working is in photo booth, but FaceTime crashed when I tried to open it. Going to try FaceTime in another OS, then run ASD. Thanks for the tips!
It's called a Prohibitory symbol. Happens either when there is an issue with the OS, or if you're trying to boot to anything older than OS X Yosemite 10.10 on a 2015 Mac.
Do you have another drive with El Capitan 10.11 on it? Boot from an external OS, format it the SSD in Disk Utility if you...
