runs slow after lady cut the stand down and got metal shavings all over the place. i cleaned all the shavings out and didn't see anything wrong per say but i didn't at board that close like under a scope. took me a while to figure out, but ASD gives me CPU proximity TCOp temp sensor error...
gets power and charges but no visible activity with power button
i'm assuming standard bad gpu, but i've been out of the game so long i can't remember if they would behave this way, my recollection is it would at least turn on right?
what rails should i check?
I have a wonderful 12" macbook which had a bad key. i got a new keyboard from china (first one only the power key seemed to work) this one does fine until i literally screw the bottom case screws on. then it does what the first one they sent me did, power key works but nothing else responds. i...
client brought in a 15" late 2013, powers on but does not finish booting from any drive, os, or even safe mode. so first i tried re-soldering U9300 and changing C9364 330 uf poly-tant cap but the new replacements i had were a little too tall and couldn't properly under heatsink, but i tried :(...
customer brought in and said it needed a new keyboard, because it wouldn't turn on reliably which I did and tested it on and off fine 3 times before closing up. this was definitely in the top 3 of must disgusting keyboards, with all types of crap in there.
after he took it back it didn't turn...

I have some china special LP154WT1-SJAV screens which don't seem to work with anything
anyone know if (and where) the firmware chip i can move over from a broken official A1
I had messed with this before and thought I was done but apparently not (trackpad temp TSOP line bad). Although the keyboard viewer shows every key responding, the fn key doesn't work/register so the fn keys don't do their functions and the keyboard viewer appears different, showing a full size...
820-3437 had a little liquid spill. i cleaned and replaced C8317 and ran a wire to LVDS pin 3-4, worked fine for a while then sometimes backlight goes out so I did C7796,
but now some time later its acting up again. seems more like at cold startup, like it takes some time to warm up. should i...
i think i fixed this once before a year ago but it's back again
charger light does turn green but computer won't start, no orange, and no charging

fuse was reading sketchy so replaced that
saw a small spark (since i was in the dark) on test power on but still no backlight
now PPBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_FUSED reading 11.2V instead of 12v
both...
One of my friends has the first mbp 13" with only 4gb of ram (I didn't believe they even made it until i looked it up). Does anyone know what and where i could get ram chips and stencil for 16gb? also how hard is it to do?
someone else worked on this and did a horrible job
i've tried cleaning up the lvds cuz i really don't want to replace it
i've tried each pin with tweezers and they all seem down fine, either that or the traces are starting to come up and wiggle but seem soldered to the pins
any idea which pin...
literally a drop on Q7311, cleaned was powering fans on and USB, USB would turn off after maybe 7 seconds and no activity
assumed Q7311 shorted dead and no CPU (should have measured)
so I replaced Q7311 (donor 820-4924 board), still same behavior
i then tried Q7311, Q7310 and U7310
now no fan...
had liquid damage, fixed everything else up to this point
replaced C9560, C7241, C7282, C7281, L9000, C9010, F9800,C9802
R9808 and R9809 but the last two are reading at ~100k in circuit instead of their proper values
PPBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_FUSED 12.6V ok
PBUS_S0_LCDBKLT_EN_DIV reading 6.31V

BKLT_EN 3.2V ok
LCD_BKLT_PWM 0V bad
SMC_LID_R 3.4 ok
replaced U9701
now LCD_BKLT_PWM 3V
but still no backlight...
no water damage, runs fine off of batt
when you plug in AC the green light blinks on super quick every like 2 seconds
R7080 was reading like 2.3k so I replaced but still reading same
any ideas before i take board out to check R7085 or replace ISL
had liquid damage, got everything working fine except ASD giving me TSOP trackpad error
tried new cable
same error
tried new socket from donor (did loose 1 pad on board, had to run wire)
same
any ideas unless i'm doing the socket wrong?
Have a friend with an older 2008 a1260 who described the problem exactly as below and i have thoroughly tested it to confirm such
i ran ASD nothing technically wrong
it functions properly but boot up takes forever, like it stalls after loading everything in verbose
often times to get it to...
