Hello friends,

This mac arrived without working. it had oxidation on the U6101, I replaced it and now it works, but it takes 1 to 2 minutes to chime. Tried with a clean BIOS here on the forum, continues.

The Mac works normally after it turns on.

I had already tried resetting PRAM and SMC, it didn't work. The strange thing is that it takes time to chime to turn on and also to restart.

Test the machine disconnecting trackpad/keyboard.
Check SMC_LID signal when turn it on.

I recommend you to reball SMC, as you've found corrosion close to it.
Also be sure all SPI Bus Termination resistors and their traces are good.
Clean/remove J6100, just in case.

Thanks a lot for the help!

I had already reballed the smc, but it didn't work.

I decided to change the U6101 component again and the mac was 100%.
