    820-2936 efi

    Hello, I have an 820-2936 that I attempted to flash firmware to with clean ME region. I used the apple 1.5MB ME version 7 since a tool indicated that the stock rom had ME series 7.

    [SOLVED]820-3437 No Camera

    LB is in S0 state. PP3V3S0 present. U3900 not producing PP1V2_CAM, PP1V8_CAM, or PP1V35_CAM. No other issues, just onboard camera does not power on. CAM_DEBUG_RESET_L is 0. Slightly confused, it is U3900 that produces PP1V8_CAM, correct? Thanks, Stefan

    [SOLVED]820-3332 TW0P Sensor Error

    Hello, This board has no liquid damage. It had intermittent kernel panics and shutdowns until I addressed bad solder joints at U8900. It is failing diagnostics with sensor error TW0P, which I think is airport proximity temp. Fans do not spin on high, however. I checked for 3.3V at U5523 and...

    [SOLVED]Advice needed on trackpad issue

    I have a 2015 15" MBPr that had tea spilled in it. The trackpad works but the "click" is very soft - I suspect that some of the tea got in to the trackpad. I tested with a good trackpad, and it "clicks" much better. Is it worth trying to dig the trackpad out? Has anyone had any luck removing...
