Hi. When I started this board I had PP3v42 but with no green light and no PPBUS. PP3v42 was 3.42V and PPBUS was shorted to ground.ISL was getting hot so I removed it and replaced ISL. I checked PPBUS in diode and most of the short was almost gone (0.386) but still no PPBUS. I plugged in the...
Hey. Have this board with liquid damge missing PP3V42. Obvious damage was under the heatsink bar leading to the fins which I replaced as well as U5010. I now have PP3V42 with a green light but only for a minute with 1 fan spin. In diode mode I get 0.088 but this seems to be getting pulled to...

Hi. I have an A1278 that after 30 seconds the screen scrambles. At first, my thought was that it was going to be an LCD/cable replacement. I removed the board to look it it over and found that U2600 and the area around it was liquid damaged. I have already replaced the damaged components and...
I have a 2012 A1278 that Very intermittently will have flickering lines across the screen and sometimes may freeze. Customer says that it happens very quickly and randomly. I myself however didn't experience it until I tilted it backwards from under trackpad. I thought it could be an LCD cable...

Hi. So, I have a board here that came in with no backlight, but had full video. I replaced C9020 and C9796 because they looked burnt. Also L9080 was missing completely so I replaced that as well. Turned the laptop on to see if it made a difference and I got a chime with a quick flash from the...
