820-03286 (A2941) - No PPBUS_AON / Stuck at 5V

Hi,

I have an 820-03286 (A2941 / MacBook Air M2 15” 2023) that has no PPBUS_AON and gets stuck at 5V / 0.05A.

Note: I replaced U5200 because PPCHGR_VDDA/VDDP was only at 4.5V. After replacing it with an ISL9240 (from a MacBook Pro M1 2020), it’s now back to 5V.

Current measurements:
  • CHGR_AUX_DET: 0.8V
  • P3V8AON_PWR_EN: missing (Diode: 0.485)
  • P3V8_AON: missing (Diode: 0.317)
  • PP5V_AON: missing (Diode: 0.494)
  • P5VS2_PWR_EN: missing (Diode: 0.485)
  • PP5V_S2: missing (Diode: 0.485)
  • PPBUS_AON: missing (Diode: 0.485)

Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting from here?

PPBUS_AON MUST appear first.
It supplies all secondary power supplies, including 3V8_AON.

Any history available?
Did you check diode mode to ground at PPBUS_AON?

Yeah I have added the diode value, please check again.

UT360 (Line: PP3V3_S2_HOLD_IPD) was shorted, I have replaced it - short was gone.

But now it stucks at 5V (Before it was booting fine but without keyboard/trackpad functionality)

PPDCIN_AON_GHGR_R = 5V
R5221/5222/5261/5262 = 1ohm (Note: R5261 was at 100kohms, I have replaced it with 1ohm - still no PPBUS_AON)

Is the ISL9240 not compatible with the A2941? Before replacing it with ISL a RAA489900A6 was in use.

Someone said ISL9240 worked instead of RAA489900A6, other people said no.

Macbook Air A2681- 820-02536 stuck at 5v after liquid damage

So got my first 820-02536 board in today for repair - customer says it just turned of by itself completely negating to tell me the full story of the liquid spilled onto it! Anyway originally when it came in I had 5V 0.3A power draw, after taking the board out I found heavy amounts of corrosion...

Always better to use original part!

I’ve already ordered two (just in case). I’ll let you know if it fixes the issue or not.

Note: I’ve tried it with a known good ISL9240 - seems like it is not compatible (at least on the A2941).
