As the title suggests, this Mac works fine. It's been on the bench for days running all kinds of tests and it just keeps purring along. ASD162 fails only 1 test which is the Thermal Interface TIM test but I hear this test always fails in ASD162 even on a brand new Mac so this can be ignored.
I opened it up to see if there was any damage on the board anyway and found a clean board with nothing visually wrong.
When comparing to the boardview and schematic though, there are quite a few components missing. They are not listed on the schematic as "NO STUFF" or "OMIT" so to my understanding, these should be present on the board.
One of these missing components may be the cause of the "computer freezes" the client reported but without being able to experience the issue first hand... what can one do?
Is there a common fault on/with these boards that I should look in to just in case?
