Hello

User was typing at school, close the lid went home then Mac didn't resume. He did a force shutdown by pressing power button. Mac never restart.
When connected to Apple configuratior, when I plug cable it will show as "recovery". I did a revive, didn't work. I entered DFU, did a revive fail " timeout.." after 16 hours. I did Recovery, DFU with battery.

Data are important, so before trying "Erase all contents and Settings" is there anything else I should check ? While reading a post on this forum, somone had a similar issue but had no P3V3G3, he did a reflow of U7800 and that fix the issue. Should I try that first ?

C8200 = P3V3G3S_SS = 3.39V
R8200 = P3V3G3S_EN = 1.80V

CB701 = PPBUS_G3H = 12.61V
PP1V2_AWAKE = 1.21V
PP1V1_SLPDR = 1.1V

Big coil, diode mode = L7410,7420, 7430, 7210, 7220 = .11
Big coil, diode mode = L7030 = .420
Big coil, diode mode = L8410 = .961

Thanks
Sam

Mac doesn't start. no chemie, nothing on the screen. Is there a chance to do target mode in this case ?

I've tried again, revive from recovery or from DFU, keeps failing.

Last option is "erase all" I guess ?

Possibly nor even restore solve the problem.
Just in case, try first flashing U4770 and revive again.
Don't forget to make backup.

thanks. Excuse my ignorance but how to flash U4770 SOC ROM (AB UEC 709 on the pics) ? EEPROM reader, I have it... ? That's the BIOS ?

Need to desolder it or it there a way from the board ? I don't see any port.

Can I take one from a working board and solder it ?
