Hi,
i have this board with orange light magsafe 3 but not green, when I test the Mac in MRI, can't detect power adapter.
I use an original power adapter 96W with original cable. the board is clean, no liquid, nothing burn.
I try the board without battery (orange led), is it normal?
the Mac work, I can see the system, but battery not detected and magsafe power adapter not detected too.
I don't know where can I search.
Can you help me please?
I test C5220=2 ohm and C5260= 2ohm.
thanks

Magsafe light should turn to green when battery is fully charged.
Isn't your case, as the battery is not even detected.

Be sure the battery data cable is correct one; test known good working, just in case.
Check continuity between battery board and MLB.
ALso check voltage and diode mode at SCL/SDA lines of battery bus.

hi, ok for the green light. I check the data cable is OK.
Voltage:
SDA= 0,1V
SCL= 0,7V
in diode mode with battery, no power:
SDA=0,456V
SCL=0,456V
in diode mode without battery, no power:
SDA=0,52V
SCL=0,52V
